The JP members seem to care a lot more about growing their channels and being highly successful (see: Koyori being sad over not hitting 500k by New Years), whereas a lot of the EN members tend to treat it more like a hobby or side gig and aren't that fussed over their numbers. It's just a mentality difference between JP members and EN ones. There's a reason that JP6 has basically already passed up Council, despite debuting 3 months after them. If you stop uploading for a while or upload infrequently, the algorithm will punish you pretty hard. Vacation time will always come at the cost of your channel growth for Youtubers. There is a reason the phrase "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is such a well known Japanese proverb. And this traditional work ethic is compounded in Japan by an ingrained sense of conformity. Even people who think "I don't hold this value, I'll ignore it and do my own thing" often are still much closer to that value on a spectrum than people who didn't have it ingrained in them. Societally ingrained values like that aren't so easily overcome. It's pretty hard not to attribute this difference at least in part to the JP work culture. Meanwhile the EN girls all take occasional one or two week vacations. Other than that you just see these mental health breaks. There isn't nearly as much risk associated with vacations as there is with independent content creators.īut more often than not the JP girls need to be forced by management to take vacations. They also have a dedicated community that is usually interested in multiple talents from their agency and thus will still be watching related content while they are gone and thus have a much higher chance of returning to watch the content of an absent member when they return. New generations get a massive follwing almost instantly (even Council which got screwed by youtube still built up a following that takes most new channels years in a matter of days). The members of hololive are in a fairly unique position for content creators, at least at this point in time. Add to that the fact that content creation is something where it can often take a while to build up a following that is large enough to financially support you and the often unrealistic expectations of the public/fans that content creators try to meet and you can see why it's so common.īut there is also a clear cultural difference between how the EN girls take breaks and how the JP ones do. Any time you have dedicated people trying to achieve something while setting their own schedules there is a very real risk that they run themselves ragged. Oh, it's absolutely a problem elsewhere as well. Playing video games in front of a cam all day seems sweet until you realize you can't really stop, lol. A lot of people have a very rosy perception of what streaming and content creation is like. It's the hard part of the job that is rarely talked about. So the threat of burn-out, and then possibly depression from being rewarded for taking care of it with diminishing income and viewership, is quite real. I know someone who essentially took their first week off in 2 years and that was because they had a child, lol. I know some of the more successful Twitch streamers haven't taken a single day off in years. that you get quickly conditioned to avoid time off, or you risk undoing a lot of your progress up to that point. There's such a big negative effect from not producing content on your sub counts, growth, ad revenue etc. The reality of the streaming and content creation world in general is that breaks are heavily discouraged.
