>>62985166ok the next step is to have enough money so that you can buy her small things. Firstly I would go with just a basic twitch sub. This works really well if you're the first or at least among the first. Then, it's just a matter of being able to vibe with the 2view. Props if you can turn the entire stream into just a conversation between you two. Once you're well into that stage and you have that of pull for her, she will start to see you as an important asset to her stream. This will cause her to look for you when the streams start and rely on you to bounce off of her for content. This is an especially important step to get to because it builds trust and she will see you as reliable. It's important to have a decent charisma skill for this because others will try and take your place. The best way to counter those other fugly bastards is to outspend them. You don't need to be a whale or anything, but if one of them buys a Twitch dono or a superchat, you need to one up them. BUT don't one up them RIGHT after the fact because then the streamer may notice what you're doing. Instead, you have to play friendly competition and simply wait for an ample opportunity to donate between donations. Or just wait until enough time passes... usually 20-30 minutes. Scale this time frame up or down depending how long her streams are. This will help solidify you as a whale in her mind, and this is hilarious because you don't have to spend that much money. You just have to outspend the other people. Once she sees you as a possible whale AND someone that she can bounce content off of, you will have the opportunity to enter a zone with the streamer that's a little similar to the friendzone but with benefits. It's important to really go hard on the attempts to truly connect with the streamer. As soon as they set up a discord or other social media, GET IN THERE and make sure you're the funniest person or at least one of the most supportive. But also it's important not to be creepy here. Don't go too hard and don't act like you own the streamer because in 2023 a lot of women are wise to this. That's why it's better to target younger 2views to be honest. I'd say a golden age is 18-19. They still have dreams of being big like Gura and often haven't been hurt enough to be distrustful to someone on the internet who is kind to them in this space. NOW a key part in this stage is to wait until the streamer announces that she has some kind of need. Whether she's talking about her disabilities, or perhaps her financial situations, or (the best) a falling out with someone she was close to, you can easily identify a NEED through this. Once you identify that need, CAPITALIZE ON IT. For instance, if she's got a terrible living situation with parents who don't understand her, help her minimize the amount of times she needs to interact with them for things like food. This is easily done by offering to buy things like meals or at least gift cards. You can still go the traditional "Dono"/Superchat/Streamlabs route, but it becomes less effective the more control you give the streamer over the money. So, best to move things over to tangible, non-money items soon as possible. This will help establish a relationship where the streamer relies on you for something. It helps them come to trust you. This is especially effective on Autistic streamers or streamers with mental illness. Over time, the streamer becomes used to your attention (which you have to keep up just like in the early days), and reliant on your gifts. At this point, you can assert yourself as someone who is truly involved in their community and perhaps make an argument that you want to "help the streamer." in more ways than just donations and gifts. This is where you can suggest that you should become a moderator or at least someone who helps with something like video editing or some technical thing that girls on the internet are always hilariously bad at. Once you can provide them with a service that also boosts their vtubing career, and it seems like you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart, or for friendship, you will have likely earned their trust. This is when the real grooming can begin. Do everything in your power at this point to isolate the streamer from her other views and potential up and coming mods. Pretend that the tasks she asks of you are monumental, despite having to do barely anything on your end (it helps to be technically and artistically skilled here). Over time, she will be unable to see herself, her streams, and her community without you as an integral cog. Then you are somewhat free to go in any direction that you wish.
