Great. I can drop 1K on gifted Kson memberships so the Zhangs can join her membership streams.

I saw it posted earlier in the numbers thread too. Might be the same guy though. But in general whenever gifted memberships come up people bitch endlessly about it. Just because it's a thing from twitch so it's automatically bad?

Someone pays for memberships and they are randomly given to people watching the stream, so random retards and antis have a chance to obtain membership by doing literally nothing. You can also gift a membership to a certain person of your choice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12197902
>>12197853
It's simps that buy extra memberships, those memberships get handed out to random people in chat. Just like on Twitch.
It's a terrible idea for youtube memberships because you get more than just emotes. Idiots will hand out memberships to antis who will proceed to shit up chat when vtubers turn on members only chat due to spam. I hope it can be disabled.

[Anonymous No.]

Shut up this is between me and my Rosebuddies. Let them pay for me if they feel like it. Right buddies?
I bet Rosemi will be so grateful when she sees you go the extra mile to promote her.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198035
They can just ban anyone misbehaving in member streams. There's not enough "antis" for anyone but maybe Aqua for that to ever be a problem. Still allowing it to be disabled is seems fine.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198248
No. On average Fubuki has 7732 viewers, you are one of those so that's already 0.0129%. But then you have to take into account the fact that of those 7732 many already are members + the fact that people usually gift like 5-10 or even 50 subs at once, on twitch at least, so you're chances are pretty OK if you actually always watch Fubuki

Holos have private discords for members? I'm memebered to two Holos and two non-holos, and the only discords I know about are the non-holos. I just thought Hololive didn't do official discords.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198783
I've never heard of this. Sounds like a vwhores thing.
Unless ENs do it , because I never subbed to any of them.

I hate that this basically devalues intimate members content

usually it's unofficial official

Those people can also pay $5 or even less if they use a VPN and do it in monopoly money, it's a very minor barrier to anyone but the most casual of asshole.

[Anonymous No.]

Not how it works, gifts member are memberships pre paid by other users and the gifts are given randomly.
Granted if the chat at th moment is like 90% green you still have quite a good chance to get one.

>gifting memberships instead of membering with multiple dummy accounts

>>12198885
Do any of the Holos actually post on them? I know Kiara lurks on hers but none of the other have ever brought them up, except in cases like Ina responding to hers buying her a billboard. She never mentioned actually looking at the discord though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198953
I think Subaru said she infiltrated hers a long ass time ago.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198783
No, but the unofficial ones are massive and Kiara is at least somewhat familiar with hers.

If it ends like on Twitch the people gifting memberships do it in huge bulk AND with ARS, actually on youtube gifting with monopoly money might be easier.
You can expect to see almost every stream "Mr ARS gifted 100 Memberships!" popping on screen and there might be multiple Mr ARS.
I have like 12 twitch subs and i paid for 0 of them, when hey expire you just need to keep lurking in the chat until you get "renewed"

[Anonymous No.]

Sorry, I forgot he was talking about holo specifically. Yeah, the "usually" in my post was retarded.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12198783

[Anonymous No.]

This seems like a good idea to give vtubers more money. What's the problem?

[Anonymous No.]

If they're smart, they're going to make it so that T2+ members only get members exclusive streams to filter out any T1 gifted memberships. That means more money for your oshi and any trolls or plebs are filtered out.

Wait, how does this "gifted membership" work? I know the basic, but are you telling me that people will constantly throw away 25-250$ (assuming the lowest tier, and the membership lasts for a month) for fun?

If your oshi made it so that only $10 memberships gets you access to members streams would you upgrade?

There is no amount she could make it to dissuade me from being a member. I'm not rich by any means, I only have around 17k saved up but I would throw it all away in an instant for her, no questions asked. I don't buy merch though lol.

Most of them are casuals, that's the point.
Very few people are spiteful enough to GIVE MONEY to someone they actively hate on, just to fuck them over. The ones that are can't realistically be dealt with unless you hide behind obscene prices that no cunt is going to pay anyway.
Imagine giving everyone uzis Yeah, sure, you can buy one, but you need to go through a bunch of hoops.

on big streamers, with like 20k viewers+ you'll see people regularly drop 50+ gift subs. I don't know of any sites that track this, but I've seen streams where in like 4-5 hours people will drop like 200-300 gift subs. They only go to unsubbed people. So your odds could be as good as 1:100 if not better. Depends how big the simps wallets are.

no. the discordfaggots will never fully admit this, and resort to mindbending horseshit terminology like "unofficial official". there are unofficial fan discords, some larger, some smaller, all completely and absolutely unofficial in every way. there is no hololive fan discord that is any more "official" than 4chan is the "official" imageboard for a hololive member.

they might not share as much about themselves in members only streams. chubas are a lot more comfortable in members only streams and it feels more personal; if randos gets in, i doubt it'll be the same anymore. just looks at all the gray comments and see how low effort or even antagonistic they can be.
>>12198887
it helps as a ESL/third world filter. kinda like how games that cost money tend to have less cheaters than F2P games. it's not 100% but still a lot better than nothing.

gifted subs should not be able to vote or comment on members only stream/posts. only watch. otherwise, it's gonna be a mess, like trolling votes or losing value for actual members.

Daily reminder Anya is the only HoloID who doesn't acknowledge her fan discord. She even ignores its shills trying to invite people into it. She even made a membership-only free-chat room for Melhomies to hang out in.

Still exists, but no one new can join. Haven't seen AZKi log in or post, but the frog teases upcoming things in there. Only gets a post a week or so on average, though, since it's 90% nips and the rest of us are just observers.
