>>12191945The streamer doesn't pay for it, the paypigs do
Imagine the usual attentionwhores: instead of sending a $500 akasupa they'll be gifting memberships to 100 random people instead
Imagine those 100 greynames, the usual greynames that don't really follow hololive stream etiquette, imagine them derailing the chat by thanking the paypig for the free membership, spamming the chat since members don't have slow mode, and destroying the comfy atmosphere of members-only streams when the holos usually discuss shit they won't ever mention on regular streams
Now imagine Sana getting derailed by cheap superchat trains, if gifted memberships becomes a thing her streams will never be the same...
