>>92736348the viewerbase and churn is always higher than it feels like it is
payers are always a lower percentage than it'd seem like if you're not poor
and 50ccv is nowhere close to 50 real viewers, especially on youtube which hates counting views
it's really hard to have a good intuition for it, especially if you mostly pay attention to who shows up in chat and it seems like there's usually roughly the same gang of active people, but there's a lot of signs that that's a really small percentage of the total viewerbase + tourists
there's the lurkers that show up every time but never chat
the people that show up a lot but just say hi/bye
the people that watch streams here and there, maybe chat, maybe don't
the hopefully constant trickle of people checking things out for the first time
I'd have to see real numbers to think most of those gift subs aren't just pissed away, not that people should do it
