>>75648366yeah and thousands of people pay memberships for absolutely nothing for months on end from several holoENs. actually, it's that membership money that really keeps the perma-AFK girls afloat really, that and merch that people buy for the girl to do literally-nothing. if she's doing fine enough off members and merch and doesn't need to stream anymore the audience just loses.
but you never see holoENs just admit this out loud, they won't say "yeah I'm greedy, lazy and hate streaming if I don't absolutely have to, thanks for the money suckers." it's always "ooh umm I'm moving and my internet is spotty again and my cat died and my dog ate my homework and if you complain you're literally hitler ok bye love ya all <3" and it's the most disingenuous shit ever. the audience that's still there and especially the members that are still there don't necessarily deserve to get the obvious bullshit runaround over and over again. they're eventually going to go "ok that's nice but when are you ACTUALLY going to stream" and they do have a right to ask that if they are being strung along endlessly with money involved.
