Now, and tying with >>102643974, here is her explanation for her joining (not scouted)

>16:39 Question: Were you scouted?
>16:41 Answer: No.
>16:49 Kson: It's kinda hard to answer this.
>16:54 Kson: I didn't take an audition either.
>17:00 Kson: Nazuna-chan is also an independent, yes.
>17:08 Kson: No, I was not scouted or headhunted.
>17:19 Kson: Oh right, please do NOT clip this stream.
>17:35 Kson: I'm setting that as a ground rule in case there are people who clip things out of context.
>17:48 Kson: My streams are usually clippable, but not this one specifically.
>17:51 Kson: I should put that on stream.
>17:58 Text: Please do not clip this stream.
>18:18 Kson: So, yep, I wasn't scouted.
>18:26 Kson: How this talk came to me is a long story.
>18:33 Kson: I was just doing my own thing, right?
>18:52 Kson: And you saw a bit from my 3D debut the other day that I've been working on a lot of things behind the scenes.
>18:58 Kson: I was looking for a venue for something.
>19:02 Kson: And needed a system for it.
>19:10 Kson: And the owner was someone from VShojo.
>19:20 Kson: Oh wait, let me write this too.
>19:28 Text: Opinions are my own.
>19:33 Kson: That's important too.
>19:49 Kson: So I was like, "Oh, you're from VShojo? Okay. Please take care of me."
>20:04 Kson: I have stuff being released at Comiket, have my pop-up store, etc.
>20:07 Kson: I have lots of stuff.
>20:19 Kson: And I needed something that just happened to be involved with someone from VShojo.
>20:39 Kson: During the process, my manager also exchanged business cards with them.
>20:50 Kson: The other side said, "Oh wow, I'm so impressed with everything you're doing."
>20:58 Kson: And I was like, "Hey, thanks."
>21:12 Kson: So yep, I got in contact completely by coincidence.
>21:19 Kson: I thought, "Wow, such a small world."
>21:45 Kson: They shared what they thought about VTubers, and I realized it was really in line with my own thoughts.
>21:49 Kson: And things took off from there.
>21:54 Kson: So, it's not that I was scouted.
>22:07 Kson: And neither did I knock on their door and go, "Let me join you!"
>22:17 Kson: It's more like, I was doing my own thing, and our paths crossed.
>22:20 Chat: Everything's so vague.
>22:34 Kson: I can't help it, right? Going into any more detail would touch on personal information.
>22:39 Kson: This is the most I can share.
>23:00 Kson: This time, I'm doing my pop-up store in Akihabara MOGRA.
>23:08 Kson: I found it after working around a lot of places in Akiba.
>23:15 Kson: Correction: Not me. Mane-chan did.
>23:19 Kson: Okay, next!
>23:32 Question: When did you decide to join VShojo?
>23:35 Answer: March 2022
>23:52 Kson: I checked my logs in Discord to find this answer.
>24:12 Kson: So yeah, it's not like this was decided all that long ago.
>24:46 Kson: The VShojo staff was like, "We aren't very familiar with the VTuber culture in Japan. Please tell us."
>24:48 Kson: And I obliged.
>24:55 Kson: Yes, March 2022 is when this all started.
>25:10 Kson: Quite sudden.

March 2022 is when they got those 11M. I have this delightful but convoluted theory that the “tech bro” that was lamenting on X about losing 10M on an investment on twitch is from the same crop of crypto kids that were making a fuss during the chinkout and that tried to “buy her contract and IP to free her from Hololive”, and that he followed through and did just that through VShojo in march 2022.
