>>12362778>Why are people quantifying their contributions?When you care about somebody, it's easy to rationalise wanting to contribute as much as you can - to them, specifically. And various methods of support have their upsides and downsides.
Superchats:
+ You can give more than a Membership
+ Your message will get read by Mori
- One-time donations are unreliable for a budgeting business
- Between them, YouTube and Cover take more than half of the money
Membership:
+ A small, regular payment easily forgotten among other expenses
+ "Proof" of how long you've been a fan
+ Member Streams
+ A regular contribution is much more useful as far as budgeting concerns go
- Smaller monthly cap than SC
- Between them, YouTube and Cover take more than half of the money
Merch:
+ YouTube is cut out of the equation
+ You have physical goods to show for your money
+ Mori likes it when you post pictures of your merch on Twitter
- Other middle-men come into the picture
- Potential for delivery complications
GEEKJACK HATE- Weird Japanese marketing practices may mean you have to buy a load of shit you don't want to get the shit you do want
- Not always available
Roommate:
+ Cover gets cut out, and so might YouTube depending how you do it
- No acknowledgement from Mori
