And the fact that “disagreement with management” is getting listed more and more as a reason is not a good sign, both because there might genuinely be something wrong happening and because even if there isn’t, the vagueness will let rrats spread more and more.

Grandpa Vesper talked about it with his other persona. The root cause is upper management being extremely risk averse, they shoot down 99% of all proposals and don't really let the talents be creative anymore. They want everyone to only chase what's already popular over and over. The Hololive of today would never hire a Subaru, or let a Hachaama arc happen.

And as the other commenter said, they went public. That's always the first step to enshittification.

That could be the cause for some talents (I’m pretty confident it was for Ame), but from other clips (another from Randon/Vesper and especially Laplus talking about Chloe’s decision), to me it looks like behind-the-scenes workload might be a more widespread cause.

Either way, in both cases it seems like something not worth losing talents over, so addressing this issue should be a no-brainer for Cover, imo (unless there’s a different issue we’re not aware of, hopefully not tied to the good old fucking LineGoUp™).
