dont you think vubers should just rely on ads and sponsorships? rather than direct fan funding (merch, membership, ticket, donation) since taking money straight from fans breeds a sense of ownership, and that fuels entitled behavior like unicorns.

>>115856959That makes the sponsors the customers and the viewers the product. No thanks
>>115856959It's best to have a balance of bothYou don't want to be too reliant on one source of income. Having multiple income streams as a vtuber is ideal in case one of them ever dries up for some reason
>>115856959That's still relying on fans
>>115861292People do watch them.

>>115856959Maybe?
>>115856959you know, the views? they're nothing without them
