Fuck off. Servers make bank and most other tip driven jobs make way more than they're worth through tipping. When i was still waiting tables I could make my entire monthly rent in a single good weekend, and that was just part time. The only people bitching about tipping are bored, overeducated white bitches on Twitter, Eurotrash who only know about the outside world through TV news, and normies who are understandably tired of having to pay someone else's employee.

The people who don't want living wages for servers are the servers themselves you dipshit. They make more money from tips than they would a living wage. The problem is tipping culture is so normalized that places where they do get a living wage now also try to scam for tips. The reason Japan doesn't accept tips for example is not because of any nonsense about living wages but because of honor.

People who buy Starbucks everyday have never known how much money they have in their bank account a single day in their life, nor do they care. What you meant to say people buy coffee everyday, but they get cheap coffee because Starbucks costs too much.

I don't superchat because idolfags says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a superchat, if they really put forth a GFE, I'll give them something extra. But this superchatting automatically, it's for the cucks. As far as I'm concerned, she's just streaming.

it's the exact opposite of an obsession because I have better, more interesting things to think about at literally every single moment in my entire life than minor incremental changes in value

That's barely any money at all and you damn well know it. Unless you're live in some shit-ass third world country and contact us through an internet cafe with muggers waiting outside of your booth, nothing prevents you from making something out of yourself and earning twice if not thrice the amount of that voice pack in one hour.

And for the rare occasion you ARE from a third world country, you've chosen the weirdest fucking fandom to waste your time on, hololive fans don't live in mud huts, they spend 20 times the amount of a voice pack on merch.

I understand not sending sc but not membering or buying merch just feels beyond stingy unless you're dead broke. And those mf'ers usually have adblock too so they're not even giving them those few cents of ad revenue.

then you wouldn't be spending money on the worthless thing. You'd be spending it to spite the worthless thing. And of course the $1 was just an example. We can take any arbitrary sum of money that is of little positive value to you instead. People may be willing to spend more on a particular good/service than you'd care to. You may not understand why they'd do it. Similar situation with OP's scrutiny of voice packs costing 2000 yen
