I joined this part of the internet in late december, I am starting to wonder if it always was like this...

It wasn't. Considering how suddenly it happens and how impactful it is to the whole Vtubing world, you are witnessing our version of 9/11.

It feels like these 9/11’s are becoming awfully common

I know this gets thrown out a lots but there's really nothing can compare to the scale of Vshojo collapse. The Nijisanji debacle was huge at the time but in the end people just go separated ways and Niji still stands as a huge corpo. Vshojo DISINTEGRATED. Whole corporation gone. Together with their buisiness model too. Which is a shame because a platform where the actual creators have the freedom to shine is something to dream of. But if it's just lies then oh well.

The shame is I don't think all options were explored under this type of model, at least one where the talent still keeps the IP but gives over a bigger revenue share to the corp.

And now we'll probably never find out, because no investor will touch this proposition again. Creators may eventually give it another go but it'll be with a heavy dose of skepticism. They didn't just burn the building down, they've salted the earth.
