>>66645182The key is always boundaries.
Also treat artists the same way: some people will love bomb you with art using it as a replacement for money.
Just show no special treatment to anyone and everyone will feel special instead: this is actually a good strategy for growth
which bring us to this thread current favorite topic: the mod/vip issue again.
Some people will try to do work for free for you for the same reason oilers drop their paychecks.
If you must have mods, make it clear for them where are your boundaries.
They will try to dm you constantly under the excuse of "work", and these are the people most likely to be in love with you the most out of your chat, so you got le parasocials fostering under your nose, and giving them ban privilege.
Once you cut money, art, or mods, the groomers will try a last resource: they will become vtubers to be your "equals". This is the famous viewer to chuuba pipeline, but is actually just another aspect of the previous examples.
The solution is again, boundaries, and dont collab with men just to own le parasocial incels, since your collab partner is very likely one of them, specially around this town.
Collab with people because it benefits your career, because it will make interesting content, or because your viewers want to see you interact with them.
Doing it out of pity or obligation because this vtuber has "raided you a lot" is just another blackmail tool they have in their box
