@TheOnlyZoltan @JusagiChan Artists generally work for peanuts until they get enough of a following to not have to chase after clients.
I have family making good money in the traditional art world, but one of them was living in a studio with 5 other guys early on.

@JusagiChan I've never heard of anyone charging a "fair wage" for there talents as a freelancer (working with individual commissioners). But I'm also not an artist. Is that actually common among artists or is everyone working for peanuts?
English

I totally get that i should be paid a fair wage but honestly my standard commission has me making like 10 bucks an hour lol... still if I charged more I know many can't afford it. Heck, lots of people ghost me after they hear my prices.
It is what it is! I'm happy to keep prices low because I love animating!
Twilight Husky@Twilight_Husky_
Commission prices are out of control. Simple as. 300 bucks for a ref sheet or basic drawing?? Hell no. That's 10 HOURS of my life I would have had to spend to be able to afford that. Actually, it's definitely more than that because the government taxes wages.

@Shilledawood Life is about more than roasting people to vent your anger. You’d be much happier if you embraced joy.
English

@Shilledawood I know your life must be hard and you’re hurting, but taking it out on other people isn’t going to make things better.
English

@Lacinxiv @stardustlux_TW Im not saying they dont work hard u fcking retard. Its about the excuses holomems come up with some of u really are braindead
English

@Shilledawood @stardustlux_TW Oh, you’re a child that’s never worked an 80 hour week. Got it.
English

@Lacinxiv @stardustlux_TW Its about the excuses they make retard. If they work hard then just say u aint wanna stream or not in the mood to dont make these weird and untrue excuses
English

@aNiMeGaMeR0 @0SailorRose0 @aidoruhakase I went to an official corpo concert there and it was more limitations of the venue than anything else.
English

@Lacinxiv @0SailorRose0 @aidoruhakase I wouldn't expect Hololive-quality concerts. It's run by fans, after all (even if well organized.) I would expect Cover to bring that quality to whatever venue they use.
That said, the offkai/oshispark folks are decently good. Good enough for ex-Holos to work with them.

@ruinah @koffie_ch Flying from smaller airports are always more, but most regional hubs aren’t close to $900.
English

@Lacinxiv @koffie_ch Great for JFK, but even flying from ATL gets pricy, and Koffie's whole point is flying from NOT a major hub costs more.

English

yeah man flights are over 2k to LA from where I am in economy for fouth of july weekend and 1.5k for rest of july.... It's kind of insane that domestically if you don't live near a major hub it can actually be cheaper to fly internationally than domestically....
koffie 🩹🍰 vtuber!@koffie_ch
im sorry i love hololive but i cannot go to AX HAHA
English

@1Hololive_Simp @faunaswag Oh yeah, if you wander in the wrong direction and end up near Skid Row it’s rough. If you stay away from there you generally shouldn’t run into homeless.

English

@faunaswag I went to LA once for the dodgers hololive night never again. I was harassed by multiple homeless people. The streets smelled of piss and shit and my mom was sexually harassed. I'm happy others have pleasant experiences it's not California that sucks just LA🫠🫠
English

@koffie_ch @ruinah JFK to LAX is pretty reasonable depending on what dates you fly. This is flights on the 2nd and 6th.

English

@ruinah i mean regional hub regional on the east coast can be like 900 too but i do unfortunately "get" that
English

@Shilledawood @stardustlux_TW It’s crazy that they’re likely working 60+ hours a week due to all the projects and you say that the lack of streams is because they’re not in the mood.
English

@stardustlux_TW The excuses to not stream by holomems are getting crazy. Just say ur not in the mood
English

@aidoruhakase It wouldn’t be crowded if people didn’t like it enough to show up and deal with the crowds. I worked an anime con in TX and it was empty and easy to walk around, but there was nothing to do there either.
If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine.
English

@aNiMeGaMeR0 @0SailorRose0 @aidoruhakase They do Fes at a convention center because a concert hall can’t accommodate the multi-stage format.
I’ve been to Offkai before and as much as I enjoyed it and the concerts there, the stages weren’t up to the same standard as any of the Holo EN concerts.
English

@Lacinxiv @0SailorRose0 @aidoruhakase They have 7th FES in an Exhibit Hall, and use the dedicated arena for a YouTube stage & showing off a mobile game.
I doubt they’ll have too much issue with acoustics (they should but probably don’t.)
English

@aidoruhakase If it sucked it wouldn’t have over 400k turnstile attendees.
English

@princip_01T @jjjeeesss_ Keeping stuff local when they already have staff in the area for other reasons lowers costs quite a bit.
Profits also only come after costs are recouped. It’s just true that sales that come later are more likely to be profits.
English

@jjjeeesss_ They’ve also said a big chunck of profits come from the merch sales for the event and blu-ray sales after. But it’s not like they ever sell merch at the venue and blu-rays are sold waayyy after the fact.
English

@aidoruhakase We produce 40% of the entire country’s supply of vegetables and 75% of fruit and nuts. You’re welcome.
English

@aidoruhakase @JaAmfan It’s fine if you don’t like it, but hundreds of thousands disagree with you.
English

@JusagiChan I used to work in the construction industry and knew developers that would love to build things like this in California, but regulations prevent it.
English

I know "thing, Japan" gets memed to death but my god I wish we had this back in Canada.
Honestly, we do have a few malls that are built right into the train station but those are few and far in between
Truthful🛰️@Truthful_ast
Also this is super illegal to build now, a massive mall ontop of a train station with a bunch of other stuff Literally inconceivable to urban planners
English

@estherzelda0514 It heavily depended on what circles you were in. Most of the Valley kids I went to class with were too busy doing reports and studying to really go to parties.
When I switched to an easier track my senior year, I had people telling me about orgies under the bleachers.
English

Are Zoomers really this prudish? Most of my friends lost the V card between 15 and 20, and I punched mine at 17 in a threesome. I feel like anyone who was Gen X or Millennial that occasionally showed up at a party or a rave (and wasn't religious, asexual, or going through some sort of sexuality crisis) had no trouble at least getting to heavy petting with someone cute given a couple of hours.
Sleeping with 3 different people before 19 seems just as reasonable as being a virgin at 19, right? Am I out of touch?
kate bush’s husband 2@iloveairbagged
"3 bodies at 19 is insane" lol
English

@RimaEvenstar It really depends on the spaces you were in, though I’d say it more like 15-25 years ago.
Phantasy Star Online was really like that. FFXI Online was too. I’ve heard Neopets was too. WoW was more of a mixed bag but that was somewhat true there.
Shooters on the other hand…
