They probably just tell themselves their pay-pigs are actually rich instead of just spending all of their disposable income sending pathetic messages.

>>31183905
it's probably not even disposable

>>31183659
Yes
>>31183784
>>31183905
Retards don't understand how rich the highest tier is
You poorfags wasting 300 dollars a month get nothing and forgotten
The ones who give them 10,000 a month would probably get serious attempt and they'd want to know if it was unironically a rich oil prince they can marry or some fat fuck that bought bitcoin in 2013 and wastes his life on the internet

>>31183659
A couple hundred bucks is rich?
Maybe get a job.

>SEAnigger thinks these people are rich
roru

>>31184096
it's a lot of money to spend on women without getting any pussy out of it

>>31184221
A few hundred a month is genuinely nothing to the top 25% of first world countries
Purchasing power is why its an insane amount of money in some places

>>31183659
>wasting money on supacha
if you truly love your chuba, buying plastics and membership gifting give them more money

A hundred bucks isn't even the monthly minimum wage, not even close. Two minutes of Google is enough to verify. Maybe consider getting a job, even a minimum wage job is enough for you to send one red superchat and still have enough for monthly expenses.

>>31184454
> membership gifting give them more money
Is there a source on this? I’ve been wondering which is better but it always seems to me superchats get more of a response from them than a membership gift

>>31184592
cover take less cuts from membership money
>more of a response
well duh you can't send message with membership gifting

>>31184745
> cover take less cuts from membership money
Where did you hear this? I can’t find anything anywhere that says they get a bigger cut of the money from a gifted membership. Some holos were outright hostile to the idea of gifted memberships when it started.

>>31184317
>If donors were actually from those places
Most of en superchats are from burguerfolk

>100 bucks
>rich
if i needed any more confirmation this board is filled with children
that's literally chump change, something you can spend without thinking about it when you have a job and no family

>>31183659
They're not rich, just very financially irresponsible

>>31183659
If rich people had that kind of time I'd be impressed.

Most of them don't.

>>31186005
My job pays $600 a month.

>>31186949
The medium income in the US $2,594.
The average rent is $1,900
It's a little offset because people live at home or shit so the average rent is paid by a slightly an above average employee so the amount someone can spend on groceries and hobbies/interests/socialising is going to be higher than $694 but not that much more, maybe £1000. So $100 is not just chump-change for the average adult in the US with a job. And these are easily Googleable statistics, so no matter how much some anon claims that they just really don't care they made millions on bitcoin and have a 6 figure salary and own a mansion or whatever and everyone else is either third-world or underage. you can see they are talking absolute bullshit.

>>31188316
As an actual amerifat:
I make almost almost $18/hr. After taxes and so forth, I get like $550/wk. I rent a house with my partner, its around $1700/month. My share of utilities is around $300 (gas, electricity, water, internet). I have health insurance through my partner, I pay $150/month. So there you go, some real numbers.

>>31184063
>The ones who give them 10,000 a month would probably get serious attempt and they'd want to know if it was unironically a rich oil prince they can marry or some fat fuck that bought bitcoin in 2013 and wastes his life on the internet

There are no Vtubers getting money from “Oil princes”. It’s rare that a single whale gives more than a thousand a month and most burn out after the buzz wears off.

>>31184096
Austria is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and still 1/3 don't even have 2k in their bank account. most people live with their paycheck.

Get a real job, burger flippers. Oh wait, you can't because of your free art degrees are worthless.

The retarded ones probably do, yeah

>>31183659
I've met some of the guys who donate and some of them have really high jobs. I dated one guy who was an accountant who used to Superchat Ina and there was this other guy who would super chat Kronii, he was an editor in hollywood too.

>>31189216

Who, Karona? KC, Rice or Gabe? Kek stop vague posting or something like i know a guy who know a guy

>>31189470
Aw shit, you sure showed me. Literal burgerflippers make under $10 in most states. I'm pretty happy with my job, in that I like the work itself. So nah, I'm good, thanks for the concern. Faggot.
>>31189612
Pretty much.

>>31188316
I can tell you this the same dumbass burgers giving them hundreds of dollars are probably the same retards who complain about gas prices or inflation.

>>31185549
>hostile
nta but Isn't that because there's a chance that anti would get free membership?

>>31183659
these people lose their credit score because they superchat too much. Some even go so far as to take loans for their superchats. These niggers are destined to become debt slaves

>>31189750
I'm not going to drop his name, also I don't know if he's a name fag.

Do you guys realize there's a country with $200 average monthly wage?

>>31190389
Cue the meme about twitterfags compensating all artists "equally," while disregarding purchasing power and the value of their labor relative to their local economy.

Someday I hope to sell my house and live in a cheap country with lots of Asian teenagers. I'll fly them in from places like Australia and Japan to make them preggernant, and force them to become vtubers.

>>31183659
They are probably rather wondering why people who are only middle class are throwing so much money at them, money they should be saving for other things.

>>31186005
>>31188316
Idk maybe I am just cheap but I have about 3000 dollars left over every month after my rent, food, utilities, and maximum contributions to my 401k, and I can't imagine spending 300-500 dollars a month on sending my oshi pointless messages that she really doesn't necessarily give a fuck about. If you're making 200k a year, fine, you do you since you're gonna have all your necessities paid for anyway, but if you make 50k a year and you only have about 1k after your necessary expenses, how the fuck can you justify it? I buy Gura's merch every time to support her, but at least I am actually getting something in return. Can't be saving spending your money on stupid shit like that if you want to actually own a property before your late 20s.
>inb4 what is the burgers obsession with owning a home

>>31184096
it's quite a bit of money when you take into account that they aren't getting anything in return really.

>>31191254
>maybe I'm just cheap
You are and this is why you'll never join Gura's special discord for top 10 paypigs.

>>31191254
most people are bad with money and try to cover that fact up by pretending it's merely chump change or everyone else is stingy.
then they get hit with a broken washing machine and car in short succession and need to get a consumer credit to cover the expenses

>>31191254
Unironically about 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. They literally spend all of their income. They don't save money. Horrifying.

Crossing out names = you're self advertising. We don't care you drop money simping for girls that don't give a fuck about you.

>>31190899
take me anon.. i can't get preggernant though

>>31183659
Maybe if the chuuba was an indie

>>31190735
i meant to reply this anon
>>31193065

>>31183659
maybe

I honestly just assume that they're obsessive and either spending half of their pay check, or SSI money. The reality is that quirky crypto millionaires are the exception and not the rule. Most of them are just autists the small amount of cash that they have.

>>31183659
Have you ever wondered how addicted people can buy drugs every day? It will give you the answer to your question

>>31183659
Vtubing and watching vtubers is a decidedly middle class hobby. While I wouldn't call them wealthy, they can definitely splurge on things they like. The people who put on streamers while they work are probably the most inclined since the incentive goes both ways: please keep streaming and I'll keep supporting you; I'm happy to stream thanks to all of your support.

>>31184592
Pippa said on stream Supas are more bang for your buck.

>>31183659
Most AAA games cost about that much. And people buy those all the time.
Monthly alcohol bill can be that or much more. It's on par with many other hobbies.

>>31183659
i do, i make six digits an i cringe when i see someone drop an akusupa for anything that isnt a birthday/anniversary. I don't know how people could say "Hey, rich person who doesn't know me, have $150 to celebrate your eight stream of Elden Ring". If I were going to be that loose with my money, I'd do it on people IRL

>>31183659
I think they probably wonder more why someone would pay such large amounts of money.

>>31183659
>how their paypiggies are so rich
For the most part they're not, they're just stupid.
I'm sure there are one or two who literally don't notice $500 disappearing but I've hung around enough gacha communities to know that most of the whales are working mediocre jobs at best and throwing away all of their money on their compulsive habits. They should be saving it or moving out of their parents' house, but they literally can't help themselves.

>>31203396
Children superchatting away their collage funds is both sad and funny

>>31183659
Excuse me I have an announcement to make this thread was made by a SEAnigger. In SEAland $100 dollars is enough to support a household for weeks.

>>31203396
>>31203495
Spending is what makes the economy go around though. Especially if they're actually buying goods it doesn't all end up going into the chuuba's pockets and even then chuubas still pay for commissions and so on.
On the other hand, meaningful investments take at least 5 figures and $500 here and there is hardly a scratch in comparison. If it wasn't gacha or supas, they'd probably be spending their earned discretionary income on eating out and other equally frivolous luxuries that stave away life's yearnings.

>>31189316
True. Oil princes don't need a parasocial relationship with a VTuber when they can buy women in real life.

>>31204159
>meaningful investments take at least 5 figures and $500 here and there is hardly a scratch in comparison.
$500/month is equivalent to a 5% matched 401k on a 60k salary. That is absolutely significant. And that's on the low end for whales, we're talking about people sending multiple akas per week or dropping four figures to max out ever gacha waifu on release. Justify it however you want, if this is how you handle money you're going to live paycheck-to-paycheck until you die. We used to have pensions and shit for this reason but boomers killed that.

>>31204719
You really think $500/mo on $60k/yr is that big in the grand scheme of things? 12% of your total pre-tax income in discretionary spending? Hell, 10% is what moralists say you should spend on charitable endeavors. I can and do live like that, spending less than that (hell, I only spend $200/mo on food), but I have a reputation of being rather joyless. As long as your other needs and responsibilities are being met, I see no issue. Yes, there are genuine addicts out there and later and later retirement is a systematic issue (hell, the pandemic brought BACK some of my bosses). As for the increasing postponement of other life goals such as marriage and home ownership, lmao.

>>31189316
doesn't luca get like 5k+ a month from some oil princess

>>31189991
Some of them mistakenly believe that membership is a super secret club and discuss more personal things than regular streams. I guess no one told them that member only content was routinely being leaked years before gifted subs.

>>31184454
I hate membership gifting, I don't want to see backseating greynames get member badges

>>31188316
My mortgage is $2900 per month and I make close to 4x that after taxes. My oshi WILL get at least $1000 from me per month and you poorfags WILL seethe about it

>>31183659
sukonbu are well-documented as oil barons.

>>31207357
I would never feel envy for someone who doesn't have a large happy family

>>31183659
L O L

vast majority of whales in any area (donations, gacha etc) are people w/ average paying jobs ruining their life doing it, and not actually rich

whenever a paypig vanishes chances are they had an intervention

>>31207357
What flyover shithole do you live in to get rent that cheap? Lmao

>>31183659
Actual rich people don't watch vtubers, and they're super cheap bastards so they aren't giving any money away. I think the high dollar donars are probably spending a high percentage of their income on this because it is the one thing in their life that brings them happiness. And you know what...fair enough. If you can get happiness by sending a super chat, that's pretty great.

>>31210697
>shithole
nta but wtf my rent is like 600 and I live in an actual flyover shithole, where the fuck do you live?

>>31183659
it's not rocket science, there's tons of lonely men today, likely working a high paying job in IT and have nothing better to spend their money on so they either whale in gacha games or donate tons of money to egirls/vtubers

>>31212801
they could be buying actual whores for that money instead of trying to get an anime girl to notice them

>>31213282

You unironically sound poor

Wish I could send a 100$ superchat just to say "today bad" like these whales do

Mmmmmmmm oily princess..... deep fried tempura style...

>>31183749

>>31213282
they don't want whores, they want a girlfriend

Honestly if you ever go to a gulf state you will see these guys with expensive call girls surrounding them. I don’t see why they would bother with anything else.

>>31207357
I have no mortgage and that’s the only reason I can afford to throw money away at YouTubers

>>31183659
I assume Ilit's like whales in MMOs/gachas
>biggest whales are richfags who don't have anything to spend money on except on superficial shit like games
>second biggest whales are people who are poor because they are obsessed with the game and spend all their income on it

>>31183659
I read some article where a camwhore talked about her clients, the answer was that they are lonely engineers most of the time whobwanna feel validated by a women somehow.

When it comes to big corpos the chubba is probably richer than the paypig in the majority of cases. Orca is probably an exception.
