It's posts like this that make it obvious a lot of the seethe against vtubers is rooted in jealousy of how much the 0.01% of them earn. Vtubers are probably one of the most poorfag ways to waste your time. You get 99 percent of their content for nothing, and the paid stuff is usually dubiously better or outright worse.
People really take the current state of affairs for granted, it's almost like they're begging to be screwed so they can convince themselves that something isn't too good to be true, and if they can't find it, they make things up. Well, streaming bandwidth and infrastructure is the thing too good to be true, and the trust in marketing departments to not make up bullshit numbers for how their advertising dollars contribute to sales. Don't worry, the real profit isn't being bilked from you and your supposed hapless weakness to "emotional manipulation" , it's from advertisers.
Ironically if it was a cable TV model where you had to pay 50 bucks a month to watch a vtuber company "because of game licensing and streaming costs" so many people complaining about self-imposed financial obligations for watching public streams would probably lose all their objections because they're finally satisfied that they can see the dildo rammed up their anus.
