My former coworker used to watch her streams regularly and even donated a few times. I was asking her why out of curiosity haha. I just wanted to know what complies people to want to donate to someone walking around Disneyland or streaming video games or whatever these streamers do. These are like normal every day things, so I’m not sure why they are getting money. Like sights and sounds, you are just sitting in a spot for 15 minutes. People sit in spots all the time, so I was wondering why one would get money for that. It’s taking advantage of people even if it’s not intentional.
When streamers (continuously) feel the need to tell their viewers that YouTube takes off a percentage of the superchats, what are they expecting? They are using Youtube as their platform, not their own. Of course YouTube is going to get a portion of it. Are they trying to take advantage of that too? Did they forget what they are using to run their so called business from? It's not their own platform that they created.
