Gura's pre-Valentine's Day stream earned 1,152,182 JPY in Superchats. As of right now that's 8,595.05 USD. Assuming Youtube and Cover take a VERY generous 1/3 cut of her SCs each, that leaves her with 2836.37 USD in income. From one stream. The actual figure is probably a bit higher, and doesn't even account from her passive income (salary, sponsorships, etc). .

Now, for that kind of money one could easily afford the newest, most high-spec gaming laptop on the market. Alternatively, one could opt to build a desktop PC with the most powerful hardware currently available, or even order a prebuilt that can handle streaming and gaming without any issues whatsoever. Yet she chooses not to, despite constantly being plagued by hardware and tech issues with her current setup, which often keep her out of action for days at a time. Curious, isn't it?

Just something to think about.
