>>26853354Well, they do get something. Youtube makes your message more eye-catching and stay up longer the more you pay. But this is literally irrelevant to the streamer, they can see all SCs whether they paid a dollar or five hundred. So what is the feature really 'designed' for?
It just means more people in chat are likely to read your messages.
>But I don't give a shit about chat reading it, I only care about the streamer reading it!Well, turns out some people do care. Half the time people scratch their heads at the same paypigs throwing SCs every stream thinking they're blindly supporting the streamer when they're also actually paying for clout and recognition in their fan discords with thousands of members. That's why they will SC even if their "oshi" will get into trouble for it being on a demonetized stream, and dole out a hundred members even if she clearly doesn't want it. That's why you don't see big fat akas being dropped on 2views, because sure, you might capture more attention from her than anyone else, but who cares? You're a big fish in a small pond. There's not enough people to worship at your altar.
