“Regular” artists/bands are different, there’s singers who drop an album, make a round of concerts for a year, and then disappear for multiple years before publishing the next one. Being a corporate vtuber means you can’t just do that.

The comparison could be better with regular streamers, and a lot of them definitely drop after 4/5 years. And being a corporate vtuber is even more stressful because you have multiple obligations that a “freelancer” streamer doesn’t have. I doubt most of them have to fly back and forth between US and Japan multiple times a year, for example.
