      This is definitely a suisei specific thing, she's quite successful in music and has a lot of merch coming out so she's just in a period where she doesn't need the extra money. Don't apply this thinking to all vtubers, everybody's percentages are different in different areas based on their company. Some peoples main income really is super chats/ donations.

      @ProvectusNova 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The big problem about buying merch is that there's A LOT of money wasted on shipping. It's easier for them (in terms of revenue), but not for you. For example: in my country her plushie costs around 20 dollars, but the courier bills me around 75 more (total = $95) in order to ship it here, so I'm actually paying more (almost x4 times) on the delivery rather than the product itself. On the other hand, superchatting is instant, it lets you give a more moderate tip and you don't get scammed by DHL or any other private courier.

  • @forgehe

    As someone who follows hololive stats, the general trend for superchats is decreasing, while merch sales are increasing. It will never go back to Coco or Rushia levels of superchats.
    It also shows that cover corp is relying less and less from superchats.
    I'm gonna say, superchats = membership, in terms of overall value (not monetary value).

    • @milkncoffee04
      @milkncoffee04 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +105

      that probably translates to two things. One, the vtuber business is stabilizing. No longer relying as much on bursts of attention or standout talents. There's enough of a core audience for corpos to remain stable even outside of a trend wave. Second, COVER has a much larger business reach than it did in the coco and rushia days where other companies are more likely to collaborate with or sponsor them. This is pretty evident with the amount of game and merch collabs hololive has been getting lately. In any case, i'm personally happy to see the trend move from supas to merch, but i can definitely see why some people would prefer to have a large supa culture

      Talents became more busy and also more mindful of the use of their voices, so they spend less stream time reading superchats. Membership gifting culture also shifted the direction of support, Suisei got +650 members gifts on that stream which is quite lot for her: she got 950 on her last concert.
      Cover does rely on streaming income, as it still plays a significant part of their revenue. You can see it on their quaterly investor reports.
      Apparently they care more about memberships than superchats.

  • @Yenrei
    @Yenrei 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +20

    I remember thinking about this during the stream. Like, SCs are only yeeted into the void at worst and acknowledged at best. Not to mention YT gets a sizable cut. And on top of all that, I personally get shy whenever my oshi percieves me, but I still want to support them. Merch drops are always a good time for me for that reason, especially since they're not too frequent.

      You say that like this has never happened before. They all have the say on whether or not they want to turn off superchats. Calli has turned off superchats mid-stream before, to stop them from raining money. And I've seen Miko stream a game she's not even allowed to monetize. No superchats. Just hours and hours of playing a game she enjoyed while hanging out with her chat.
      And it's not like a streamer turning off SC for a while is gonna hurt the company anyway, with how hugely successful they are already.

      if you think about it in a business sense, it actually helps cover get more profit from direct merch sales instead of SC cuts. 30% cut from youtube is a big number to see if you're doing the finances and turning those off and funneling it to your merch where both talent and company get everything? man that's a win-win if nothing else.

      Well, cover definitely knows better than us, a bunch of random people on internet, about how to make money and manage the talents channels😂🤷 streaming (which includes sc) now is like 28% of Hololive revenue compared to 3 or 4 years ago when it was 50%. Merch, collabs and live events like the fes now are their main source of income and are increasing in % while streaming related income is decreasing year after year.

      @gokbay3057 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I don't superchat too much but it is probably the method I use most often compared to membership or merch.
      To me it is mostly because 1. Shipping adds a lot of hassle to merch 2. Merch is way more of a money committment than superchat.
      Moreover superchats are very easy to do.
      So if I feel like giving a little extra money I prefer using them (I am a member to three vtuber channels continiously but I am not able to justify to myself additional long term ones (even if individually they are incredibly cheap) and for some reason just joining for one month never felt right to me).

  • @cirmothe9
    @cirmothe9 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    Moving away from superchats to merch sales is a very legitimizing thing to do. It's like going away from patreon and kickstarter. I don't think all the talents could afford to do this right now, but it is something cover corp should seriously consider for the future of their brand.

    @tomaO2 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I am happy to hear this. I think people rely too much on superchats. Sometines I hear people saying they don't want supers while also not shutting it off, which makes it seem like they have to leave it open. Plus, a lot of the time superchats are ignored, which can't feel great for people sending them. I wouldn't say you should completely cut them out, but they can be kept for times dedicated superchat streams. I feel like it's an okay revinue source, but if you don't need it, then there are better ways of making money.
    On the other hand though, Asmongold famously doesn't allow superchats, and it was pointed out that his streams are expensive for twitch to host. Let me check. Oh, good, TH-cam seems to be profitable. I remember hearing that it wasn't. I thought for a moment that maybe it might be important to keep superchats since that helps youtube make money, but it doesn't seem to be needed.

    When you buy merchs, tickets, go to events, etc.; you're supporting a whole industry with hundred of thousands of jobs.
    Tldr: superchat bad for economy, merchs good. Go buy merchs.

    Superchats are the lowest source of income for vtubers (and youtubers in general) anyway since google takes a big cut, and the most part of their revenue comes from merch.

    I can see that many fans use superchats to get attention from the Talent and a way to convey their message. Unfortunately many are borderline creepy or used for bad reasons. So depending on the Talent, sometimes there's just too many SCs that they need to make an extra stream just to read it. Especially if they are busy.

  • @kaientric
    @kaientric 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I'm guessing this is something like achieving ROI in normal business. All 'invesments' from Hoshiyomi's have got her to a stage that all the revenue other than superchats are enough to sustain her activities and receiving more 'invesments' just didn't sit well with her.

  • @krysbrynhildr
    @krysbrynhildr 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Even when turning off a monetization stream she doesn't really need, Suisei doesn't stop the self promotion side of things. It makes sense though, because even beyond caring about her fans, from what I've seen of Suisei she really doesn't do the "I'm your waifu, give me money" angle in the first place, so telling people to buy merch instead is probably healthier for everyone involved for a lot of reasons, including people not breaking the bank on Superchats instead of getting a more reasonable amount of merch/membership.
    Definitely doesn't hurt that she gets a better return that way either, I'm sure, but having her music be what pays the bills is probably more fulfilling than just letting anyone with any intentions grab center stage as many times as their wallets will allow.
    tl;dr: I don't really follow her much, but her music is amazing and I'm glad she's doing well enough financially to be pickier about how the money comes in.
