>>33771223Well I was only talking about the donations from the simps. Merch, advertising, and whatever I can't comment on for either party. But if a Holo streamer is generating ~$10k / month in superchat and memberships, then their take home from that is $7000 after YouTube takes their cuts then Cover takes their cut from whatever percentage that is in superchats. For argument's sake, let's say 5k of that is superchats and 2k is memberships (these numbers are probably low for a lot of them, but I'm just working with easy numbers). Cover then takes 50% (someone earlier said 40% so I don't know what's right) of the $5k to leave the streamer with $2500 in superchat and $2000 in membership revenue, for a total of $4500. Compare that to a VShojo or indie streamer on Twitch where they get 100% of the equivalent superchat revenue (bits and direct donos through Streamlabs) and half the subscriptions (membership equivalents). Based on my $10k example before, that's roughly $7000 + $1500 or so, for a total take home of $8500.
So what I am saying is that unless Cover is paying ~$4000 / month to their streamers in this example, then they're not breaking even with an indie streamer / VShojo girl. $4000 / month is also not a gigantic salary in this example (~$48k a year) so it is perfectly reasonable.
However, make that $100k instead of $10k and now Cover has to pay a lot more to have their Vtubers break even with VShojo / indies. It scales up considerably depending on who is making what per month, so the monthly salary is kind of important to decide which "deal" is better.
