@LoliHat @ryuuji It's because the investors want them to go full idol while they want to focus on streaming games. Most of the talents do want to be idols, just not as a career focus. Even the ones that were skeptical like Korone hopped on board the idol train after they actually tried it.
But now that it's all the investors want, and all hololive offers as a career path...
Going public is the death knell of a successful company. Even if they stay successful they kill what made them.
