>>74874372You buy it because you want merch of the streamer you have a parasocial relationship with. Ideally you buy it and eat it and buy more and maybe laminate the packaging but realistically it's just some shelf stuffer that none of the people advertising it would buy with their own money in a million years. Also don't complain because people will just say "well you don't have to buy it :)" or say you only don't buy it because you're poor.
idk i get merch and making a living and all that but really? You can't just sell a tshirt instead of $12 instant ramen? It's like 1 step away from shilling for memecoins. It just comes off insincere and vulgar.
>>74875071>I will say though doing an entire stream just to announce it feels less like you thought it was a good idea and more like it was a contractual obligation.Exactly the kind of thing I'm getting at. Them becoming so meretricious is fucked up if you used to watch them back when meat was streaming hylics and ranting about 101 dalmations on youtube.
