Same reason people pay for onlyfans
They're so desperate for attention from ANYONE that they're willing to pay exorbitant amounts of cash so an anime girl will read their username out loud

They’re funny, charismatic and I like the lore on a lot of them. Simple as that.

dumb tourist making dumb thread with dumb question about dumb subject he doesnt understand because he's a normalfag

I'm not. They're just entertainment to me and that's all they'll ever be to me. Free entertainment to boot. Never superchatted or membered any of them. But
>Is it just male loneliness escapism gone wrong or what?
it's pretty much this. Lonely, depressed men starving for attention from literally anyone. A cute anime girl reading their name and thanking them does that for them.

They can be pretty entertaining, and I'd rather look at an anime girl moving about than some bearded söyboy.
Donating money to them and expecting them to be your girlfriend is absolute beta cuck behaviour though.

Dumb schizo with dumb reasoning and not even answering such a dumb question because he can't justify it without revealing he's either mentally ill or retarded

Pretty much, this entire board is just another /r9k/.

>>18374798
It's basically like having a sentient waifu, it's the best thing we have until AI technology advances far enough that we can all have our own anime girl gf

Anon, they're just streamers with an avatar. The advantage is that they don't have to be pretty IRL, so the selection is based on personality traits instead.
They're also weebs, which means it usually aligns with the average 4chan-goers idea of an ideal woman.

tl;dr, cute girls doing cute things
