A fundamental point to understand about a corporation like this: The girls do not hold ownership over their VTuber identity - everything, the models, the music, the videos, the social media accounts - are company assets they've been permitted to access. They do not receive royalties nor hold even partial legal ownership. Were this not the case, Rushia and Sana could just delete the Cover logo from their banner and continue streaming as if nothing happened.
As for this random $30k number of yours... It's kind of bad luck for you that you chose to make up one of the few numbers we actually do know exactly from the Among Us yab. The girls are are given 50k yen ($344.25 USD) for merch-shilling. (With the underscore, being the greedy corpo shitstains they are, that Cover will not be pay them twice for doing 2 streams.)
If you think about it, that single known fact alone should be enough to debunk any 'The Girls Are Rich' schizorants... Yes, they're millionaires and Cover tries to grease them with 300 bucks. Completely believable.
