>>81406720You can think about the Canadian and the US economies like this:
>US is Filian>Canada is a much smaller chuuba who streams at basically the exact same time and makes extremely similar emotes, but less reliablyIf you, a twitch subscription invester, only have money to buy one sub, it just makes more sense to sub to Filian. Even if you have enough for 2 subs, you might as well up your sub level to Filian or sub to a streamer who has a different timeslot/emotes to diversity your portfolio.
Most people think this way, so over time Filian's sub growth rapidly outpaces the smaller chuuba. Filian can thus reinvest the sub revenue and produce higher quality content and emotes, furthering the gap between them, and allowing Filian's streams to grow more and more consistently.
Eventually Filian becomes the safest twitch chuuba to sub to on the platform if you want solid returns on your investment. This results in lots of viewers from other stream times also investing in her because her emotes and VODs are so much better than what their own oshi produces, loyalty be damned.
The small chuuba simply cannot compete and has no choice but to kneel to whatever few paypigs she can keep hold of. They have a lot of leverage over her content and can cuck it to suit their interests, harming her growth potential even further.
