Yes, I don't like them when they started popping up on twitch and I definitely don't like them when vtubers do one every milestone. Stream anniversary? Subathon/donothon. Partner anniversary? Subathon/Donothon. Birthday? Subathon/Donothon? 6 months since they debuted a new model? Subathon/donothon. That is more a grievance with western/twitch vtubers, but the company mandated ones like OP are weird. Idol made such a big deal about they give them all they need for streaming yet almost immediately milk fans for money.

I think with Idol it doubles as a growth strategy. Everyone saw how much attention Ironmouse's begathon got, and beyond the money that's a lot of new eyes on the streamer.
Having a multiday "event" like that is something you can try and pull a new audience with. Spam your ads, make people thing they are watching something significant. They ended up adding like 40% to their sub counts.
When you see the normal smallcorp trajectory (jump to high 2view / low 3view and flatline forever more) I don't blame them for trying new things.

All this tells me is that small corpo life runs on dreams and shoestring budgets and donos are their lifeblood regardless of any ethics or morals.

because they want money? The west has a much more active social scene than Japan, all these girls could be out sucking dicks instead of streaming. You need to provide a strong incentive for them
Japan is a different story, its riddled with herbivore men so its harder for women to find good casual acquaintances. A lot of JP vtubers do it for fun/their main source of socialization. (not to say there aren't JPs who do it for money)

It is pretty shady when there's literally no point to it other than to make money, then again birthday streams etc kind of are this too only there's a "reason" for it.

I mean, vtubers are normally like panhandlers who do street tricks for "work" to get money, they're always panhandling all the time anyway. The only thing that gets even a bit of actual respect from me in this business are the ones who put in hours streaming that are at least equivalent to working a real full-time job (basically ones like Koyori, Kaela etc). They're having fun and games for a living but at least sacrifice a serious amount of their own time doing it.

Ones who hardly ever stream and we know don't actually have a real job as their work obligation like Gura, Ayame etc just aren't taken seriously as real factors anymore, and indeed IMO don't deserve your respect (or money) for doing nothing. However even the ones with what we consider basically-adequate schedules (3-5 streams a week I guess) are, unless those girls have real jobs outside this or the streams are all 12 hour sessions actually-doing something (no sleeping streams bullshit), they're still barely fucking doing anything relative to the people giving them money and don't merit your respect either. These girls, any lurking reading this etc need to think hard about why people are so quick to anger and shit on vtubers all the time - you're not doing anything respectable in life, you're panhandling online and need to be fucking humble about it and not think you're actually some amazing celebrity. You're at best a street performer.
