>>16209158Membership scales heavily with # of people who will watch you live. It's not the only factor, but its one of the big ones. It's why Pekora, Gura, Marine etc all have very high membership counts.
SCs are a bit trickier, but one of the biggest factors to getting SCs, is reading them. Gura doesn't read all her SCs, so she doesn't get as many SCs. Mori and Kiara, DO read all of theirs. If Ame didn't hate money and didn't have poorfag mentality x imposter syndrome, she could very easily have way way way more SCs than she currently does. However, she hates money and also is a maximum self-saboteur, so her SCs are in their current state.
All of the top SC earners in JP, they either read all SCs and/or cultivate a heavy Gachi/unicorn following. Rushia, Lamy, Kanata, Nene, I can't be arsed to pull up the list but you get the picture.
