>>12269162>Susei is differentSuisei is not different. Suisei is literally IDOL VTUBER which isn't something you can say about most others in hololive who are only really idols once in a while. Suisei is literally nothing but an idol, that's her character which also disproves your claim that "idols are literally all about building parasocial relationships" when Suisei does none of that.

>why do so many people want to support vtubers compared to normal streamers.What do normal streamers do with their money besides use it on themselves? I'm not seeing them do anything other than streaming the same stuff they always do outside of a few who organize wacky shit like boxing matches and sometimes tournaments with prize pools.
