You get mediocre food and booze marked u !p to high heaven, but it's still something tangible you receiv e in the process. There's a low but non-zero chance you could win her affections and have the relationship grow beyond "hostess and customer".
There's none of that with vtubers. You are just a name with a PFP attached. Your only communication with the girl is through text. You receive nothing tangible from throwing money at them with SCs. You could buy merch, but you're still not getting real interactions with the vtuber like you would with a hostess. There's pretty much zero chance you could win her affections this way.
Ultimately, you should just view both as sources of entertainment and nothing more.
