Announcement Regarding Termination of Contract with Yozora Mel
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continuous support of hololive production.
We regret to announce that as of January 16th, 2024, we have terminated our Virtual YouTuber
Master Agreement with Yozora Mel of hololive.
It has been confirmed that Yozora Mel has been engaging in acts that violated her contract by
leaking information to third parties that she acquired from the company. As a result, we have
determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her and have elected
to make this decision.
To all our fans and partners, we deeply appreciate all of the great support you have provided
throughout the activities that Yozora Mel has engaged in over a period of 5 years and 8 months
since her debut as part of the first generation of hololive. It is with regret that we must report this
matter in spite of the long-standing activities of Yozora Mel. We sincerely apologize for the
information we are providing at this time.
We will be closing Yozora Mel's YouTube channel and membership by the end of February 2024.
We are taking this matter very seriously, and we intend to make further efforts into instructing our
affiliated talents on compliance matters, so that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.
We hope for your continued support and patronage of the talents of hololive production, as well
as our company.
Thank you.

To everyone
We sincerely apologize for causing anxiety and discomfort to many people due to this incident.
I deeply regret my careless actions.
We have discussed it with the management and have resolved the issue.
He kindly gave me permission to publish this text.
I feel very sorry for having to say goodbye in this way to everyone who took care of me.
I had a dream that I wanted to make come true with everyone in Kapumin. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. But that doesn't mean the memories I have with Kapumin and Holomen will disappear. I will never forget this. I'm always watching over everyone. I love you forever. Thank you for what you have done.
And I'm really sorry.
Yozora Mel

This HL grift is crazy.
The amount of power that this glorified talent agency has over the people is insane. Imagine losing pretty much your online identity because of some asinine contractual obligation. I understand HL plays a significant part in promoting and supporting these talents but nonetheless the fact that they drop off the face of the earth when HL wants to retire the "brand" irks me.
And no, I don't actually watch or give a shit about vtuber content. Most of them are unironically 20 years behind the streaming meta, still putting out uninspired "look at me being bad at video games xdddd" shit that can only be endured if you're a terminally braindamaged weeb.

Putting aside the fact that a significant chunk of popular streamers were or are pro-level players, speedrunners, etc., it's incredibly boring to just be bad at video games and have that be the main source of your engageement. Even the more casual streamers generally have a baseline competence. Watching someone fail a tutorial-tier mechanic or whatever and then laughing/getting angry at that got old 10 years ago.
Video game skills aside, vtubers also tend to be much less engaged with their audience during streams (another big factor that pulls people into livestreaming, aside from watching the actual content on stream). And of course there's the elephant in the room that it's a lot easier to be enaging and charming and entertaining when you can mimic and emote and aren't just a live2d cutout with crappy motion tracking.

Some good points, but on the other hand the current streamer meta is being an r-slured c*m-brained gambling degenerate p-dophile who screams a lot so in comparison playing video games badly feels quaint.

Rude, you forgot having youtube videos on while either your chair is on stream or you are eating.
