It started with Christmas $15,000 music video, paid out of pocket.

    I don't follow Vtubers, so can someone explain why they have to go through agencies? It seems pretty simple for them to buy modeling for a few hundred/thousand dollars and start streaming instead of being chained to a corporation.

      Idk too... I guess it's the same reason why people take out loans to buy houses, it's just that more efficient and economical I guess?

      I mean, you'll have to find a manager for:

      organizing interviews

      collaborations

      paid promotions

      ad content on streams.

      Sometimes they can be financial advisors, but that is not always the case, as money made through agencies may include subscription or merchandise sales.

      At least according to this source:
