>>101592410>i like how you faggots call them "indie" vtubers despite all these ex-croperation vtubers being in the same click and entirerly dependant on that click and their previous incarnation. Nothing is independent about thatThey have to handle their own merch, branding, resources, etc.
That's as independent as it gets, anon. Even if they're friends, they're under no obligation to work together or support each other financially.
For example, Doki and Mint tend to take the day off when Dooby or Nimi does a special stream, but even if they stream on the same day they don't necessarily raid.
Doki has a large and efficient merch distributor right now (gamersupps), but Mint uses other merch websites like uwumarket or moso, and Nimi has her own thing.
They're all separate brands with completely separate careers. They're independent
