Remember in the before times when there would be street performers doing a song on an instrument and they would have a open case on the ground for tips.
Imagine that but instead of a greasy hobo its an anime girl and instead of a boomer song its karaoke or a game you like. Also everything they do or say is somehow comedy gold.

They basically always could exist without taking any donations from public visitors, but they still do because people feel like they owe something in return for the enjoyment or entertainment they receive from seeing what's on display there.

People can cope and pretend like their contribution matters and is somehow keeping them afloat or encouraging more content but that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Giving money to someone is a tangible way to interact with that person. It's a way for them to know you exist. It's also the only way that you can legally force yourself upon that person, and make them have a relationship with you even if it is extremely one-sided. Some people take this even further and fetishize it into self-imposed findom.

Basically, donation is a form of parasocial rape.

Entertainment, It's like buying a book from you're favoirte author. The book in this case is your favorite vtuber's "content" (singing, playing games, interacting with fans, releasing original songs etc) i mean why would you buy a book or it's physical copy when you could just search it in the internet and read it there. Well for the vtuber community and any other community they pay concert tickets, buy merch or give money because they are entertain and thus fans are rewarding them because because they appreciate the work they put into.

You as a single person maybe, but I'm pretty sure Aki, Matsuri and AzKi have talked about them contemplating graduating prior to the Vtuber Boom because they weren't doing so well.

Also Yakushiji Suzaku of Holostars Gen 1 quit because his roommate was doing better.

So this statement is false because we have seen people quit or have thought about quitting because people did not superchat
