I think "at the end of the day It's just business!" will age about the same as “the impact of this decision on our financial results will be negligible”
"There are not many Vtubers that are willing to befriend downwards." -Squ Looks over at Vedal constantly supporting smaller streamers
I feel so bad for Cotton. You can tell how much she cherishes her friendships and this definitely hurt
i feel so bad for bao bro she never gets a break. the world just keeps knocking her down. she's so strong
if sinder thinks there is limited space at the indie table, she is gonna be fucking surprised, when suddenly a fucking 40k shark appears in the near future from the depth of the oceans.
Chibi had the quote of the day for this whole situation. "Sucess doesn't change people. It makes them more of what they truly are."
This is just so sad. No one deserves to be manipulated, especially by a person you trusted and was a close friend to for years! 😢
From Silvervale's doc, it seems like Sinder is the type to seek "friendships" solely for the purposes of growing her channel through collabs. Apparently the reason she hated Silver (if you don't know, Silver was Vtuber1 in nano's doc) was because Silver had refused to collab with her in the past. I highly reccomend reading Silver's doc that she posted on twitter. I love the part where she had to straight up tell Sinder "I am not interested in transactional relationships with anyone." Which probably pissed Sinder off lol.
Cotton had a good take she tryed to be fast but respectful
"it's just business", "everyone makes mistakes", and "educate yourself" are great quotes from bad people. Remember the more number oriented they are, the more delulu they become when popularity hits
Now we need scene from pirates of the caribbean where Beckett during ship sinking says "It's just good business"🔥
10:03 mentioning vedal made me think about how earlier Squ said its normal for vtubers to reach up when considering friendships/associates in the space... but thinking about it, half of vedals friends come from raiding smaller vtubers and getting to know them after 😂
This makes me appreciate Dokibird so much more. She's a ride or die friend. She would rather uplift others than only think about herself.
I think biggest thing to come out of this will not be Sinder or her community and platform which will take a hit and shrink but probably be fine, but the lack of connections going forward. I do imagine that a lot of collab partners will stop working with her over this and stop being her friend and a lot of big artists will deny model work on this. Behind the scenes she will be blacklisted and that will stagnate her growth long term
Stuff like this makes me realize just how many Vtubers I watch because of how much I see it in my feed when it happens.
Never before have I so wanted to give Cotton and Bao a hug
15:34 I'm reminded of wise words: "This, too, shall pass. It'll pass like a fucking kidney stone, but it'll pass."
I thought it was really cool that Numi befriended Lucy. It felt like Lucy was pretty small comparatively, so it felt more genuine.
It makes me really sad when people are like "you're too small to be my friend"
