Bootleggers on etsy will always exist because the people running the website don't seem to care or get sued.
What's utterly stupid is faggots in certain generals like /moon/ saying that merch is too expensive and that they should buy the bootleg shit on etsy. But what do you expect from indogs.

>>14279742
Etsyfags provide an actually valuable service to third-world poorfags like me, so they're cool in my book.

>>14279742
that's assuming people are purposely going out of their way to look for 3rd party merchandise to buy which isn't a guaranteed thing VS SEAnigger clippers making guaranteed ad revenue money cause of clickbait content of certain Vtubers which can average 100k views and assuming most of those views comes from mobile users, that's easy ad money that can make any third worlder live like a king in their country

Thank for the notice anon! gonna report it to Cover now.

>Vtubers get their largest source of income from merchandise
>ayame merch in the OP
checks out

>>14279742
that's because clippers are controversial so when you'll say that you'll usually get one or two people who disagree starting a argument whereas with bootleg merch sellers everyone agrees they're scum so no conversation gets generated from it which means no one bothers to bring it up in the first place.

Corpo cock sucker.

>BUY THE OFFICIAL OVERPRICED HOLOLIVE MERCHANDISE!!!!!!!!!!11
>W-WHY?
>BECAUSE I SAID SO CHUD!!!!!!!!!!

>>14279742
Until the Omocat merch dropped none of the Hololive merchandise so far has been fuckin worth buying. Even then the Omocat stuff is sold out atm so you can't even get that.

Sounds based to me.
The hololive girls rake in thousands of dollars a week. Might as well give my cash to the community that actually needs it.

>>14279742
I bought unofficial Vtuber merch on melonbooks before. Nobody cares if they use their own art.

>>14280329
He's right, you know.

>>14280958
What do they need it for? The girls pay for stuff like music production and other commissions for their streams.

>which sell off-brand merchandise using the likenesses of vtubers to profit
Legit there's no problem with that. That's capitalizing off of a market using an idea or thing like any other brand making a certain universal product whether it'd be some company coming up with a different way to sell a type of chocolate or some other example.
>rebuying limited edition merchandise and selling it for more/scalping
Everyone agrees that they're scum which is why there's little to no discussion or virtue signaling. Just don't buy from scalpers, simple as. Unlike YT algorithms and other bullshit, a lot of these 3rd party sellers are left out to dry, even if they attempt to scalp since there's little traction coming their way. People typically aren't shopping as much as they're surfing YT, so the profit margin between the two is HUGE. Shitbag clippers can get away with clickbaiting and catching ad revenue from clicks while a 3rd party seller has to make something worth turning away from already expensive official merch for if they aren't already scalping. It's not that people are unaware, they're just being ignored because they're a far lesser problem.

No, the majority of official merch for JPs is crap

vtubers are leeches that make thousands of bucks per video stealing content from overworked underpaid game devs

I bought a few t-shirts from another website. As long as the print doesn’t wear off after a couple of washes, who cares? The price was ok.

One of my holoen fanart got a bootleg mousepad and I'm just surprised that my shit is good enough to be bootlegged at all.
