Lol bullshit. You make this up.
If Cover takes 30%, and Youtube takes 30%, then she would earn 50% of that total before taxes.

Also, deducting taxes from your earnings is something that literally nobody does anywhere. By that standard, the average American actually earns $40,000 a year, instead of $65,000 a year. Also the average European pays more taxes, but gets more services from the government in exchange. So how can you make this determination? Insisting that income only counts "after taxes" is some retarded bullshit.

>I think superchat revenue makes up more than that
You think wrong. Polka said that superchat revenue is trivial to her earnings. And Matsuri explicitly said that superchat is less than 10% of her income. And she made $600,000 in superchat. That's Matsuri, who's far lower than Pekora on the earnings board. In reality, Pekora's marketing probably brings in many multiples what Matsuri does. Her superchats are probably like 5% of her earnings or less.

You are using dishonesty to push an incorrect narrative.

I'm not the anon you were replying to but that's wrong. JewTube takes 30%, then Cover by default takes 50% from what's left. So let's say you send 10$, YT takes 3$ and Cover takes 50% of what's left (3.5$) and the remaining amount is 3.5$ PRE-TAX. However, this is the "default" deal at cover. At this point it's public knowledge that Pekora has 60/40 split with cover so Cover takes 40% after YT cut.
Having said that, here's the caveat:
Viewers who superchat the most (either by quantity or amount) are Apple users, many of whom use Apple Pay feature. I don't know about the current situation but at least in the past that meant that another 15-30% will be deducted BEFORE jewtube takes their initial 30%. Knowing all that it can make 10$ donation look like shit considering a contracted vtuber with 50/50 split at cover will get 2.5$ from apple pay donations and 3.5$ by other means before they even pay any taxes. So when a vtuber who gets 300k a year from superchats only receive a pre-tax salary of 75k-105k you can then understand why it's considered pocket money compared to merch sales or ticket sales.

p.s
Whoever thought cover takes 50% before YT/payment providers take their cut must be retarded beyond hope or have 0 understanding how businesses work despite vtubers themselves like Coco publicly disclosing info that cover takes their cut AFTER all the other shit.

>>24310518
There's no way to know how much she earned but we've seen that her birthday merch has generated over 1M USD revenue. Birthday merch releases are generally the most profitable ones along with anniversary ones because you can buy them as sets and so on. I'm sure she generates at least few million USD each year from merch sales but how high does that figure go is beyond anyone outside Cover to know. Considering merch "cogs" make up at least 25-30% of the cost and people pay for shipping themselves, it would mean that for each piece of merch bought 70% of it is profit. How that profit is shared is another blackbox but according to talents themselves it's way better than superchats so we have to assume either cover takes just a little bit of that or none. For example, at vshoho they get to keep 100% of merch profit although I doubt Cover is that generous.
Finally, people seem to disregard sponsored content. Top streamers that have average 50k+ CCV are often offered 100k USD + per 1 video/stream and top worldwide brands can offer up to 500k USD for highly targeted content. It would not be outlandish to state that if Pekora earns 300-400k pre-tax in superchats then she must earn at least a couple of millions from other activities (merch sales, sponsored content, ticket sales and etc.) Which would be inline with some holo members claims of SC making up the minor part of their income.

Millie Parfait has a CCV average of about 1000
She leaked her youtube dashboard, revealing that she makes $120,000 annually, after youtube's cut.

If Pekora has a 20,000 viewer average, she should make 20x as much, right? Also Millie doesn't even have any merchandise, and Pekora does. So Pekora probably earns more like 50x as much, if not 100x as much.

Probably more than that. She said superchat was less than 10%. But it could have been like 5% for all we know. $6 million is a lowball estimate for what she earns. Talents like Pekora and Gura are easily making over $10 million a year. Even Ina is making like $4 million a year.

Pekora doesn't even earn a million a year let alone 10 million you absolute retard lmao. Even the top Twitch streamers don't earn that much and they get bigger cuts and don't need to split it with a corpo. Get real. Mr Beast only earns 30 million a year and he's 20 times bigger than any Holo.

The discussion was over anyway. Saw a clip of Moona talking about it translated by JP clippers, and basically Moona and Cover split the earnings 50-50 so 35% goes to talent, and 35% goes to Cover

Mind you that apparently it was considered quite good deal by JP commenters. Some companies basically took everything then give it back to talents in form of agreed-upon commissions in lower rate. "No wonder people really wanted to get into Holo"

Oh, they absolutely donates lol. She is now the highest earners after Rushia got kicked. Her birthday stream and milestones are absolutely raining with Red SCs. She may not do GFE thing, but she still spend tons of hours reading SCs.

Probably saving up for her 3D debut. She tried on the "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" game for their Pekomoona anniversary but its probably tiring for both sides. With 3D debut, she can invite Moona to come to her 3D anniversary, come to Moona's 3D debut, sing with her, do off-collab, and all sorts of stuffs.

Basically should be way easier than streaming with non-JP-speaking person

They got successful, then rich, then probably more than a couple got married and pregnant IRL. ALL the incentives line up for the more veteran girls to seek stability and dial down streaming to an audience of loser neckbeards.
