52:25no perms necessary too
52:32Not pressured to do anything at all. everything depends on yourself
52:36both types do have their pros and cons haha
52:43yeah lots of tradeoffs
52:44Indie has more freedom but at the cost of making a name for yourself
52:46indie needs to handle everyything
52:50An indie vtuber struggles to deal with merch and other stuff no?
52:51if I was a vtuber I would be an indie vtuber. no offense.
52:52alot more restrictions too
53:04Make sure to ask for Ocarina of Time Remake months in advance :_LUL:
53:13like u want to play but perms also take a long time
53:16but one thing that is difficult for Indie vtuber: Monetizing their Cover songs.
53:34is it already a thing? some of the bigger indies hire their own managers/mgmt team?
53:38corpo perms is very tedious unfortunately
53:58@8man_01 yes, its a thing, Indie vtuber has their "manager" some of them
54:03getting merch deals is so much harder being indie
54:21not that kind of manager...
54:38I hardly know you, yet I missed you
54:43It's a massive grind for sure. Either that or you gotta get real lucky
54:47how do you get monetized when making a youtube video hypothetically asking?
54:48Corpo has the capability to get different connections for projects and merch without being absolutely massive
54:50an actual manager, to help managing schedule when there's an invitation for event and such
54:54the peak may have passed, unfortunately
