How much do you spend on superchats? Is it a big part of your income or just a slight inconvenience?

[Anonymous No.]

Not a damn thing.

I have memberships to every holo I enjoy and I donate like 10 bucks when they have major streams like birthdays or milestones which is barely a drop of my income. But I'm rather wealthy. Honestly I just do it because if everyone had a "FREE ENTERTAINEMENT" mentality they probably wouldn't be able to keep streaming even though they're making 1000s of dollars now.
Schizo coomers who donate their life savings for attention should be jailed in poor houses though.

i don't do any superchats smaller that $50.

I do it pretty regularly. I dropped a $500 on the kiryu coco return stream. That was the only time i ever did that much and i basically gave up my next gen console money for that.

but desu it is only my disposable income. Since i'm a neckbeard with a high paying job i only really spend money on essentials (food, rent, internet) and then have a shit ton left over for streamers.

i did drop gacha games for vtubers though

I only donate to the small Vtuber channels, since they are extremely appreciative and they will actually read your donation message.
Im not going to donate to a holo girl just to have her read out my name at the end of stream. I couldnt give less of a shit about that. Its not really their fault, since they get so many donations constantly. But I think its pretty crazy that they dont even read the red superchats often times.

Understandable. But I think if a girl is getting so many donations thats she cant read them, then she doesnt really need mine added to it.

They should have some kind of benchmark where if you donate a certain amount, you can be sure your message will be read. If its a a purple or red superchat, it should be getting read, period. They could totally manage to read just those superchats at the end of stream. It would take maybe ten minutes to, you know, acknowledge the people who are paying your bills.

>>951296 Case in point. Ignoring red superchats is pure bullshit. They get a handful of those in a stream. There is no reason those shouldnt be getting read. If you have 20 red superchats, be thankful that you just got 2000 dollars to stream a video game and take a little time to recognize those people.

In Kiara's defense, at least she never read SCs during a collab, and does generally seem to have an unhealthy co-dependence with her members.

look, I would tirade about your personal choice of throwing your hard-earned money at virtual personalities you'll neither ever meet nor understand (most likely, no offense), but I sincerely have to admit it would be jealousy.
Watame is also a nice pick. Call her fake all you want, she still regularily spends a third of her day on her PC for your entertainment, as well as spending even more hours practicing singing for the same purpose.
Also you finance my hobby.

Have a good day sir, I salute you and respect your actions.

If I find a Vtuber that interests me enough I sub to her to archive everything, member-only stuff included.
Other than that, I SC £2 from time to time, very rarely I go £5 and only once I did a £10. Anything over than that number and you need to reconsider your life choices unless you are a ETF/crypto entrepreneur with millions banked on your Binance account, in which case I guess it's alright.

[Anonymous No.]

>>940283
I don't regularily spend.
Only if it actually enhances the stream.
I've SCed several times a stream (2€s each) when Miko streamed DDLC to roleplay as Monika for a laff, did the same with Kanata.
Then after Miko recovered and did her two years anniversary late, I gave her the 35,35€s of appreciation for her content, since she often did callouts to me without even spending any money back in her lesser known days with like 900 watching, 450 of those EOPs.
Feels nice to have someone enjoy your comments, I never thought I'd feel emotions like that. Rationally thinking all of those were really dumb donations and I got nothing from it, but eh. Won't die from it.

The only other chuuba I considered SCing so far was Senchou because she really deserves the success, but she has enough fans already and seems tired often, so I just pump watchtime whenever I can.

I absolutely refuse to use superchat to "support" my oshi's.
>Jewtube takes 30%

>Taxes
Why the fuck would I superchat when the person I'm superchatting would only receive ~25-30¢ per dollar donated? It's remarkably inefficient which is why I much prefer merch: they get a bigger cut and I receive a product. I do have a memberships for a couple of them though- mostly due to lack of merch.

>>962469
This is the thing, there's probably a lot less incentive than usual for vtubers to bother making merch considering the absurd amounts of money they already rake in via superchats. For normal streamers/youtubers merch can be very profitable compared to average ad revenue, but for a big chuuba it would probably only bring in a fraction of what they already get normally.
