No black text on a white background. This is concerning because there could be bad news now associated with any correspondence from Cover.

I almost fear Dokibirds success after graduation is almost encouraging streamers to leave hoping they will grow more or something. This is also a concerning potential development.

I mean if Doki’s success encourages people to go indie, I’d personally see that as a positive. Especially if they feel their agency isn’t providing the same value as when they first joined. What concerns you about this?

Dokibirds success was kinda lightning in a bottle. A talent that greatly benefits from an agency might leave thinking they can repeat Dokis success, only to fail and end up worse off than when they were still with the agency. That is my concern.

I see where you’re coming from, but when I also see Mint, Sakuna, Sunnysplosion, and Dooby sharing similar or greater levels of success compared to their PLs, I feel less worried. Not all of them get a shoutout in their YouTube recap like Doki, but they do seem to be thriving.

That doesn't seem to be relevant here though. Fauna clearly said her reason was she disagreed with management. Doki's situation was also unique due to the Kurosanji shenanigans, which caused a lot more traffic to her PL than most others. I think most are well aware.
