The blacklist being the reason for Miyune's hiatus is pure speculation on my part, but 10 days ago, FalseEyed ran a story about how talent agency MSM has failed to file their LLC paperwork, has been paying taxes and has been behind on paying many commissioned artists. Later that night, Krimbo ran a stream about he and the SouthSide group had been blacklisted by Seth(CEO) at MSM. Krimbo attributes Takahata101's departure from regular vtubing from stress from also being on the blacklist, which according to Krimbo was because Taka "wouldn't kiss Seth's ring".
Seth eventually released a statement saying that MSM does not have a blacklist, but does maintain a list of people who MSM advises their talents not to associate with. Which is the same thing as a blacklist. There's some other accusations against Seth, but I just want to focus on these points.
Previous, I just though Taka experienced burnout and wanted to focus on something else for a while. His Weary101 and TV2 streams have always been a high light for me. Hearing that one person might be responsible for what for me was splitting up The Beatles... well, I'd really like to hear Taka make a statement on the matter. BTW, I was so happy to see him for Wrestletuber2024.
Again, Miyune being in the blacklist is pure speculation, but a lot of people took a step back from vtubing in 2023-24. People who had good ccv and seemed to be investing in their setups.
Welp, that turned out to be a bit deeper than anticipated. Thanks for a detailed explanation!
That is the summary. I left out a lot, but you can look up FalseEyed's and Krinbo's streams on the matter if you want.
