>>35489399Anon, the praise of strangers might make them feel desired and the money eases their living situation, but these girls are fucked in the head which is why they resort to vtubing/streaming.
Why do you think a lot of them deal with mental health issues? Or literal health issues in the cases of sloths like Ina? I wouldn't necessarily equate them getting more comfortable with streaming as them being happier, though I'm not denying that some are happier; I think the perfect examples of that in EN are Kiara and Bae. But others like Gura, Ina, Kronii, Mori, and I think Ame to some extent still have struggles they don't address to their viewers unless they have to because it affects their streaming.
Why do you think most of them don't/can't do something as simple as driving? These girls are pretty fucked.
