>religious serviceYou have the preacher, center of the attention of the congregation, telling you words that calm you and make you happy.
You have the congregation in itself which, unlike escort patrons (which prefer to remain sight unseen), create a bond between themselves and, in general, enjoy each other companies to the point of forming "brotherhoods" even outside the service (like Haaton, Nousagi, Fandead and other fandoms).
Then you have the voluntary contribution that can be as small or as big as the person wants, and for the most people it is zero or close to, but for some people that feel more blessed, it reach the high value you see.
VTubers (GFE or not) resemble more a religious service than it resembles an escort service.
