You could get 0 superchats and still make a living just off ads if you're getting thousands of fresh views each day, which everyone in NijiEN is. Hell, you could even quit making content forever as long as people were still watching your old VODs. Minimum wage in the U.S. on ad revenue is equivalent to about 10k views on your channel a day, and most of them get that much on each of their streams every day, not to mention random views on older videos. Plus superchats/streamlabs, plus voice packs/merch, plus sponsorships, royalties on original music, and so on they're all really well off. Obviously most of them aren't rich or something, someone who's pulling in thousands of bucks in superchats is obviously significantly better off, but no one in NijiEN is anywhere close to poor. And with a company doing promotion and shitting out merch and finding sponsors for you it's even fucking easier because all you have to do is stream, you can fuck off for days or months and still make money off your old videos actively every day. Corpo vtubing genuinely is a golden ticket as long as you stream every day and don't go full retard
