So that's it, he just gets to win?

What did he win?

didn't realy follow execpt he didn't donate 500k. quick tl;dr pls

>>102671989
He built a fort with peoples merch instead of shipping it
a corp exploded. hes to strong.

Paid nijishill thread

There's no winners in this game. Phase and hololive and nijisanji will get hit too. At least Cover has their tech company to fall back on when shit gets muddy and they can't justify as many talents in a post-covid era.
Everyone's gonna feel the squeeze. It's just how they're gonna handle it, and the only one looking like it potentially could is hololive - and even then, not without coughing up some blood in the process.

>westoid subsidiaries crash and burn
>Chinaman company still growing larger

Is this the power of the zhongguorénmin?

>Phase and hololive and nijisanji will get hit to
What a interesting way to phrase that, it's almost like you were paid to make it seem like other companies are bad as well...

He did nothing.

>>102672247
>At least Cover has their tech company to fall back on when shit gets muddy and they can't justify as many talents in a post-covid era.
I don't think Sakana has to worry, we already know he spends the bare minimum and Phase was never his main moneymaker.

>>102672635
If Phase has other methods, then they'll likely do as well as Hololive will.
>>102672357
I was naming the popular names. This is an industry wide squeeze, don't think your 2view indie's not affected. Don't think the ex-shojos won't be affected.

Turns out the "not a scam" scam company was telling the truth.

>>102672781
Ironic you post Muyu to make this point when she's a prime example of Sakana having no fucking clue what he's doing

>>102671873 (OP)
Vshojo going down in flames doesn’t change that boyfriend connect is dogshit

>>102671873 (OP)
Phase has battle-hardened vtubers that started streaming before HoloMyth, and know what being a 2-view for years is.
Their spirit is strong.

>>102673017
Hiring Purin and Kana was a terrible decision.

>>102672247
But Phase Connect is cash-flow positive? That was Sakana's main objective when starting the company. Slower, more stable growth tends to withstand these sorts of shifts in the market.

Huh, I guess it was that easy after-all

>>102671873 (OP)

but yeah, idol companies aside phase is the big dog now, mostly because they gave up on the idol thing and are in a different category now. still small compared to holo, obviously

I'm noticing.

>>102672752
I never heard of a whole industry getting affected because the CEO of one (1) company embezzled some charity funds.

>>102673168
It's easy to stay in the green when the only people shipping merch are yourself, and two chinese women you hired to do everything else in the company.

>>102673255
No one watches Hololive in 2025.

>>102673359
It's probably going to cause ripples among corpotubers for a time but it would depend on what their current situation is, odds are will be bigger issues for smaller corpo, hololive and niji will probably be fine since even Riku pays his employees when they get out of debt to him.

>>102672752
This legit sounds like a well worded thing trying to shift the blame onto other companies. How much di you get paid bro?

Phase has a monopoly on the niche le menhera femcel genre

Isn't Phase a mental asylum for women that's located in a warehouse? That's like some chinese level operations shit.

>>102673395
You forgot to attach your own personal picture.

Sakana is a rich autistic fuck who wants to see cool shit happen. He doesn't win but he also doesn't lose because he doesn't bother competing.

>>102674346
Merch will continue not being shipped until Dizzy agrees to build her own fort so they can have a nerfgun fight.

>>102673168
the reason a lot of corpos fail is because the founders are too retarded to keep it in their pants.

you will literally see them fucking their talents. kek

There are now multiple indies with a bigger market share by themselves than Phase as a whole. Nothing against Phase, but their growth has stagnated. I can't speak to their contracts or finances, but I can only assume they are doing fine in their own corner regardless.

>>102674977
Yeah but are they epic and le based?

>it's now proven that vshojo was hiring people to stir shit on 4chan
>tfw half those anti-phase threads and other obvious troll threads made to shit on other corpos while praising phase was just some retarded seamonkey paid by gunrun or vshojo

kek, that didn't sink in until you said it. It sounds so fucking wrong

>>102674758
3rd place is better than not existing :)

>>102675151
I think this corpo is bigger than them.

>>102674778
This is it western vtuber company culture? Your last bastion is a fort made of undelivered merch and a coffee fried fish?

>>102674778
Isn't Sakana a mainlander Chinese?

He just followed the golden rule to avoid all misfortune. It was smooth sailing from there.

>>102675419
Do NOT make fun of the fort. This will be our bunker that will protect us from the inevitable yabs that will come.

>>102671873 (OP)
always has

This CEO worship surely won't backfire one day

>>102674778
Phase Connect is not the largest western vtuber corpo. Mythic Talent is still bigger.

>>102675419
Yes, but at least it's comfy sometimes and the girls realize they got a pretty good deal all things considered.
>>102675473
Yeah, but he lives in Vancouver and Phase Connect is ran from Canada, making it a Western company.
>>102675548
The Fort of Safety shant be breached. I am also certain that Phase will NEVER have a yab as big as the shit that vshojo pulled, or the heinous shit some other small corpos have done.

>>102671873 (OP)
Still greatly dwarfed by whoreclan

>>102674160
what can I say, I tried a few and none seemed idolish to me, at least not in their modern versions. tenma for example used to be more idol coded but then became whatever she is now, practically all the old talents have a similar trajectory. and what is there to say about the new hires like hime or clio

excellent content, I love them, but it isn't an idol company

>>102675677
Mythic Talent is a talent corpo, and not a vtuber only corpo, so I wouldn't include them.
They also don't do much other than merch and other helpful stuff.
>>102675685
I have no quarrels with the whore clan.
Numi is cute, and I hope she and Michi have sex together sometime.

>>102675803
>They also don't do much other than merch and other helpful stuff.

They did put together the vtuber awards. That's huge.

>>102674778
there was a timeline shift that tuesday
this is some steins gate bullshit

>>102675900
Oh right, but that was also probably most because of Filian.
But still, they aren't a vtuber only corpo.

No that was filian, and she paid for it.

>>102676168
It's in one of the most comfy places.
It's big enough to be profitable.
It's got a decent selection of talents for most stuff people can like.
I honestly like the spot phase is in now.
0.6%-1% of total viewership is the peak comfort zone.

>>102675671
Phasefags are a whole different breed of bootlicker. Sakana has said and done a lot of shitty things in full view of the public that would've led to any other CEO becoming utterly despised by their company's fans, but instead they just keep gobbling his cock because apparently insulting, exploiting, obstructing, and generally being a piece of shit towards your talents is okay when he does it. If he'd done what Gunrun did then half of the Phase fanbase would be calling him based and trying to deflect all of the blame onto the girls.

>>102676532
Such as?

>>102671873 (OP)

Visa threatened that on website that people post porn games to ichio or whatever to delete porn of they drop them and they had to deleted a bunch of games off it. Could get some funny Visa vs porn related stuff happening.

>I see... you sure these aren't just thousands of nothingburgers?
>Uh... No, no I'm afraid not.
>This sounds like bad news...
>Well you'd think so! but all of your yabs are in perfect balance. If you have a moment I can explain.
>Here's the door to your company, you see? And these are oversized novelty scandals. That's boyfriend yab, that's alleged IP theft, and this cute little cuddlebug is a condom tweet, heh.
>Here's what happens when they all try to get through to the public at once:
>"Move it chowderhead!"
>We call it three stooges syndrome.

tl;dr the company is so transparently full of scandals that they no longer register. The fans see it as normal, and the greater community has long stopped having any expectations. The company's own shittiness is its shield, because it's awful but 'ironically'

>>102676532
and the girls shit talk him right back
pretty much anytime he's done stupid shit, he's been shit on by people on /pcg/ at least
if he did what gunrun did, he'd be just as fucked
but unfortunately for you, and everyone else who hates phase, Kevin doesn't seem to be a big enough piece of shit to steal $500k from charity

dont forget gunrun also stole $500k in charity money lmao

>>102679200
Could've been the COO, too. We won't know until a proper investigation.

that's also misappropriation of funds. It's legally precise but it's still a crime.

>>102679285

NijiEN's shambling corpse is more relevant than Phase lmao

It doesn't involve fucking over his own company, at least.

>>102679596
he was calling jelly a sea monkey lol
>>102679634

nijien isn't relevant at all, it's being propped up by nijiJP

>>102679984

still it's pretty obvious from what i see
some of the nijiens are back to natural 4view while 95% of phase are still 3view

>>102674190
Anyone with a brain knows food is the best business since customers will consume food and thus need to continue buying your products. Entertainment on the other hand has only one reliable practical use, and that is to advertise other products, so using vtubers to advertise food is simply good business.

>>102680048
the fact that we are in a timeline where there is a serious discussion about Phase vs. NIJIEN vs. vshojo says something. Phase Connect were a 2view small corpo with little to no expierence and when they debuted NIJIEN and vshojo were 2 of the 3 giants who had their pick of the litter of established talents.

>>102679935
>sold her ip to fishman for a new car

>>102671873 (OP)
Final Yab when? 2 weeks?

>>102679935
Which one is this

>>102680192
I remember those threads from when phase was first starting out.
so many people thought phase would be one of the first of the small corpos from back then to die

>>102677762
The difference is the scandals are from the talents themselves.

>>102679719
Again, that we know of. Look at what just happened to Vshojo, even the company's biggest haters couldn't have anticipated their near-instantaneous collapse based on how thing were going for them even jut earlier the same day it all went to hit, and all of the information we're now getting about how they managed to maintain a good reputation right up until this happened is proof that you cannot trust a damn thing about how well these corpos seem to be doing or what any of their talents say about how nice their CEO is, because chances are they're all either lying about it or just don't know how bad things are themselves.

>>102676168
It means when phase looks for sponsorships they now get to say they are the largest western owned vtuber corp and the third largest English speaking vtuber corp in the world

>>102680915
we will know when there is trouble in phase because they would start complaining about not being paid. most of these girls don't have $10k in the bank to throw around and be ok with pay peridos being skipped, they live a little bit better than paycheck to paycheck so if they aren't getting paid they are likely gonna speak about it to put pressure on

phase girls are also not shut up and fall in line talents, when they have an issue they speak. granted the more girls they have now, the less they will be heard so they don't have leverage if they are truly unhappy

>>102676532
The biggest complaint any of the talents have had is he is to cheap to ship them there merch and wants them to pick it up when he flies them to Canada, and he rambles on about bullshit in meetings.

Phase had big trouble in their first 6 months. They navigated the waters tho and had a strong gen1 who threatened a mutiny unless they got change, and they had a ceo who listened and gave them change. Say if Kawaii's Gen3 would have been hired as Phase's Gen1, Phase would be dead because those girls would have gone to the CEO demanding change, gotten the change, and then still said fuck you bye.

>>102678090
as much as they want to sugarcoat it and pass it as a joke, this isn't normal professional behavior. I don't care about making predictions but I don't think they respect their talents and that should eventually lead to problems

imagine if your boss talked to you like that

>>102681856
>not normal professional behavior
look at what the 'professional' behavior does to nijiEN and vshojo
he shit talks them and they shit on him back

If you seriously trust that phase, niji, and holo arent doing this shit too youre delusional. Even if its 10% as bad as vshojo you still dont want your oshi near these people. Stay Indie.

>>102681856
I think this is why Mint went with Vshojo instead of Phase. When she spent a month with Phase, she said she was taken aback by how Sakana, Pippa, Lia, Uruka interacted with eachother. She was not used to employees telling their CEO to kill himself, and the CEO to tell them to deep throat a shot gun, and then they laugh and go to dinner or tokyo disney.

Faggot, two of their members are still in literally 2 digits subcount, getting 3views in the low hundreds if they are even lucky, and completely literal whose just because they don't want to speak English. Tenma would have also went that route had they not decided it was better to speak like a retarded ESL chink but both Iori and Michiru is still completely forgotten. Phase was retarded in trying to chase both rabbits at the same timem EN and JP, and only now scrambles after the Western Side but completely discarding the ones who can't speak English or won't (Iori)

sakana knows what he is doing. look at lia

>>102682090
>weird thing to randomly bring up out of nowhere
grooming begins by blurring boundaries, which is what you see on that pic, that's not how employer and employees talk to each other. this is also preceded by love bombing when the talents join

you bring up nijien and vshojo in your other post to deflect and as if (1) they didn't use similar tactics and (2) professional, normal interactions wasn't how literally everyone except black companies do business. again, trying to normalize what is simply workplace harassment

I'm still glad you bring up this stuff by pretending it is a good thing because everyone else can see that phase is a black company. I'm not saying they are going to fail or anything, but they are definitely abusing the people working for them

>>102682383
Did he...did he have sex with her too? I thought Fishman was only fucking Uruka at that time. It was weird the amount of attention she was giving her and the fact they even met up and went on a date.

I don't know about you man, but as someone who had worked with multiple small businesses before, I find that the businesses that try to conduct themselves "professionally" tends to be the one who have more problems due to the top being disconnected. The difference between grooming and just a more casual work environment to me is whether or not after all the banter, the parties listen to each other and phase from what we know of do listen to the talents. Hell, I can even apply this to a lesser degree to the relationship between Holos to Yagoo.

>>102683029
ok but, it was a test. and like i wrote he tore her down to build her up and then the time came where he put lia out there to represent his group on the biggest stage, and she did it, and he told her what it meant. he knows what he is doing and what buttons to push to get the most out of people who didn't think they maybe had it in them

>>102683256
if you talked like that to a man you would get beaten up, don't try to pull the "but deep down we listen to each other" as if you were 12. and I don't know who are you trying to convince, any lurker can read that pic and immediately recognize that's not how a normal job sounds

>>102682588
Keep in mind that the banter we usually see is from the fish + Gen 1, Invaders & maybe Clara because the gap in power dynamics is not that big. We don't see this behaviour with Gen 2, Gen 3 and Keleido much. So your point might be true to the other people there but for now, it only seems that he is just an autistic chinese and if you had any contact with them, this behavior is quite mild.

Phase CEO will get outed as being a massive successful sexpest. All phase girls are part of his harem and his primary fetish is NTR. He requires talents to be married/ have a bf in order to join.

>>102683610
Airi, Hime and Shiina roast the shit out of Fishman. I think Euphoria is the only full gen that still treats him with something resembling professional distance.

Eh. Even among the graduations on the en side most phase talents aren't even comparable to the "runts" or w/e # calls them. Not only that they do not a dent on the jp market or Europe.

>careful with hiring
why? what's the worst that could possibly happen? -it already happened- and the audience has been culled to the point the only people left are the ones that don't care or don't even know what idol culture is. phase sticks to the meta:
1. pretend nothing happened
2. never address it
3. never apologize
4. double down

>>102683582
Sorry you had to work with insecure pricks anon. I would not call any workplace that you have to walk around eggshells a good place to work at. Not saying that "deep down they listen to each other", just that when push comes to shove, their concerns are heard and actions are taken, and the language used to deliver that concern should not matter. If I can tel someone to kill themselves because they are making my job hard to do, and not just they not penalize me much, but also make changes to make it easier to work, I would be loyal also.

>>102682755
kevin hasn't fucked any of the talents

>>102683943
true, but he's not a MASSIVE one

>Why don't the people in Phase act like the people in the other big corpos where they stop streaming because of management problems (Holo) and form cliques and sabotage each other (Niji and Vshojo)?
This is all I'm getting from this thread.

>>102684037
Nah, if you get someone that doesn't understand the company dynamic and culture in there and they took the banter seriously, it would cause a shitstorm.
The banter he has with his talent is the same kind of shit that has brought down others.

Although I would argue that Sakana is not really gonna get close to many newer talents beyond a surface level. As the generations debut, they get furhter away from him. He is very comfortable with his Gen1, some of Gen2, some invaders and then it trickles out.

>>102684050
what are you talking about. you are an adult, if you have a problem you state that problem in a respectful and professional manner and the other adults listen and either act on that or give you an equally respectful and professional answer. what is this shounen anime nonsense. I have to assume you have never worked a day in your life if you think a job is supposed to sound like a middle school

its so fucking bizarre to me that Phase connect is now the second best Vtuber corpo

>>102684228
the dynamic is pretty easy to understand, I imagine the hard part is tolerating it. but it wouldn't matter, whatever happens they can ignore it as long as it doesn't involve lots of money and lawyers. there is no public image to maintain, no brand. if you ask anyone what's the difference between a phase and an indie the only thing they will say is that the indie is more dignified

the brand is that there is no brand
and I mean it in a bad sense

>>102684637
It's not that bizarre when Phase has always done its own thing instead of trying to please everyone when the people complaining about Phase will never like it anyways. It's like how Holo still does idol stuff and never cared about big western content creators shitting on idol culture. It's similar to how Holo got big by doing its own thing and not trying to be Niji early on.
There was a time when people said niji had more freedom than holo.

>>102682383
Ok now i want a movie like Wiplash but with an idol

>>102684323
If that is your viewpoint, I will cease the argument since we have greatly differing viewpoints. Correct me if I'm wrong but is your point [a good workplace is a place where all the parties involved curate their behavior to fit a precieved professional norm]? Since what I'm arguing for is [a good workplace is a workplace where the concerns of all parties are heard and taken to consideration, regardless of the method of delivering the concern].

>>102684995

>>102671873 (OP)
yes, that's how it works

>>102685135
>oh well I see you want empty ceremonies and I want effective communication even if it is a bit quirky
I'm too white for this shit. there is no such dichotomy, you are an adult interacting with other adults, politeness and respect are not just the only appropriate option but also the most effective. if your boss treats you like you are 12 or like you are their friend, you have either been groomed (if you are young) or failed to stand up for yourself (if you are not) and in either case it is workplace harassment and you should get out if you can. all the "oh but it actually works" is cope and self-infantilization

>>102683029
No he's got a good handle on women
Just needed a filter between himself and the talent for uh, delicacy

>>102683029
Nijisanji almost got brought down for less.

>>102685860
allow me to rephrase, selen "almost killed herself" for less. it is insane that these phase receipts are out there and are just used for twitter banter by the talents

>>102685935
Selen attempted twice after Elira's clique kept abusing her.

>>102685935
well, that's because the company isn't actively trying to sabotage the employees, and isn't hiring WAY more talents than their overworked, esl managers can handle

Keep in mind that Veibae just revealed that Vshojo had hardcore shills on /vt/ at all times, 99% chance this thread was made by a paid Phase Shill.

>>102686009

your point is shit, retard. focus on their own thing? their own thing is appealing to the audience of twitch streamers (and failing)

>>102686176
i think he might mean by western company. And even then he’s probably wrong. Although, phase do have a JP branch that is deader than dead wood.

>>102685532
>politeness and respect are not just the only appropriate option but also the most effective
Not saying that you are wrong, in fact what you are saying is more effective as business scales up. But from my experience, at a smaller scale with a younger age mean(1-5 person personnel around 20-30y/o) it is way more effective to be more casual since you are not seen as someone who is a privileged know it all.
You do bring a good point of an adult interacting with other adults, since you could argue that the age group I mentioned can be argued to never reached adulthood.

>>102686746
Wouldn’t be a surprise. Inside trading and poaching tends to be a big no no with Japanese companies since those places operate on the idea of loyalty and employees are consider a company’s property. It would be like a tech company having their hardware or software stolen and given to a rival company. Even when Cover grabbed Luna or hell when they grabbed Polka there was lots of noise from Niji and Kizuna Ai’s company. Sayu was lucky she wasn’t sent Yakuza enforcers who’d probably rape her, then take pictures and spread it all over the net and where she lived. Although, that would be more of Cover’s thing since they do have Yakuza connection.

>>102687122
I remember what, a few weeks ago? where she had like over 20k ccv?

>the largest western vtuber corpo
Coffee mascots do it better

>>102688052
So Phase Connect is the #1 western based agency

>>102688099
Yes. They have a huge amount and sponsors via merchandise as well as more investors since they act as a traditional company, meaning the investors get huge payouts while their livers get jackshit as they are not consider employees but more contractors. In Japan still, Nijisanji is still a big name and whenever vtubing is mention it is Nijisanji first. They also have a large amount of livers to cover the base of merchandising, so they always have a niche to sell.
Cover on the otherhand is seen as much more apprehensive by investors because much of their money goes to the Holomem rather than investors so they feel they don’t get enough money and is not a good investment. Also Cover’s talents are employees and get a salary even if minimum and rather than vtubing Cover is still considered a Tech and entertainment company and rarely do they find decent investors since Japan being old fashion tend to not favor ambition cause its too volatile. Cover also only has a few known name that Sponsers want like Pekora or Suisei and it would seem sponsorship is decided by the Holomems if they want. It makes it limiting and harder for them in most cases compared to Nijisanji. Hololive being so grinded down at their home turf was why they went to China and the US. Had both failed, Cover would have prob cut down their Vtubing activity to minimum like that of phase connect and just sticked with their original plan of introducing VR and motion control tech.

>>102688099
>are they THAT strong in JP???
Yeah the main branch is still going strong despite the multitude of fuckups from the western branch.
A big factor in that is the fact that they were the first vtuber corpo to focus entirely on streaming

>>102674632
They are moving up not because they are getting better numbers but because the competition is imploding. I mean they still have 2 view talents.

>>102688418
If you want to limit it to geographical location of their HQ then yes. It's a stupid distinction to make though.

>>102688344
What happened with EN now? Other than finally firing sexpest nr. 23

it is incredibly based. Pushing people to better than they think they can be and watching them achieve is powerful stuff in any avenue in life. It also shows he believes in that talent and sees something there.

And who exactly ever mentioned vtuber companies to be falling out in general?
As far as I remember, Hololive and Phase are doing just fine.
Vshojo didn't fall off because their business suffered the end of lockdowns or some loss of interest in vtubers. It fell because of poor management and literal scams.

That's not what she said. The podcast with Matara was exactly what they always said it was: a short term thing. But during the course of that she pitched the idol group idea to Gunrun and eventually signed. Nothing she said suggested she was poached from Niji.

You are both right on the issue and that is the ultimate correct approach depends on who you are dealing with. Being straight laced with a person who is inquisitive and flexible will guarantee a joke at your expensive you would take offense to automatically and ultimately be the weaker link, other times the other party works best in a professional and respectable manner, only dropping their guard for people who they consider close and an acquaintance is none of that unless their good natured charisma bounces back and forth.
