On another topic, I've been watching the number of VIBs in her chat the past week, as I have done from time to time since the livestreaming era and financial model began in January 2021.
Early on, when the Nader arc was perhaps a month old and she was careening between rages and smug traphouse streams, it was not unusual for there to be in the neighborhood of 70 Beezers in chat. (You can see how many there are by choosing the "show participants" option, for those who never noticed it). By the time of the post-Cuba days, she was down to around 40 Beezers in chat. In her most recent chats, the number has hovered around 14-17 (and about 650 overall viewers at any given time, down from 2400 during Cuba).
So far, anyone who bet money on her income going down is deeply underwater. But for the last few months, there has been more and more talk of loans about 2 weeks before payday, including from Peetz, who was getting calls from loaners. There has been at least lip service toward downsizing (even if 'downsizing' means 'renting two apartments' in her fatty brain).
This drop in active Beezers, however, is a lot more dire for her than may seem apparent. Certainly, she is unable to see what a mess she has gotten herself into.
The VIB's are her bread and butter; at the high-water mark, it was estimated that she was bringing in at least $2K a month in memberships, possibly as much as $3K. Those Beezers, in turn, would shower her with superchats, to the tune of $2K-$4K a month. Then, there was another $2K or so a month in Ad Sense dollars. Altogether, that really added up to $10K a month (I highly doubt she ever came close to approaching her claimed $25K, let alone her $50K boasts; after all, she thinks she's skinny, too. But $10K a month does jibe with the membership/superchat action she was getting)
So if 14-20 active VIBs in chat on a given day is the new normal, she has between 20-29% of the active VIBs she once had. So, if VIBs accounted for $7K a month at that high water mark, they are bringing in around $1.4K-$2K via memberships AND superchats now. Her Ad Sense will have gone down too; her total views are about 40% of what they were during Cuba Beeze (which were themselves way down from the early Nader era). But I'll be very generous and knock only 10% off that Ad Sense $2K, leaving her with $1.8K. So, a reasonable estimate of her income next month is about $3.2K-$3.8K. That is still a livable wage for those who won't pay taxes, but it is far from affording her the luxurious life she enjoyed last year. And the VIB/viewership metrics are still dropping.
Her spending, while curtailed, is still beyond her means. She probably feels rich without Nader draining her money, but he was draining the thousands she is no longer making. Really, her situation is a lot tighter than it was a year ago. If you make $10K a month, you can literally flush $5K of it down the toilet and still live comfortably. If you make $3.8K a month, there really isn't any money you can flush down the toilet. But she's still flushin'
Again, predictions of her financial ruin date back years, and all have been far off base. I was guilty of some of them myself. But this time is different. She really has lost an awful lot of Beezers, who were not replaced as she had confidently predicted. And that is a much huger drain on her income than she is capable of understanding.
It seems that only the dumbest Beezers of them all have been immune to her VIB-purges, her repetitive content, an unpleasant and inescapable domestic violence obsession, a completely imaginary lifestyle, and endless loops. The rest got bored or offended, and left. Her recent content simply isn't enough to draw enough new ones to replace those who leave.
So, even if she doesn't wind up dead, in the hospital, or in jail, the moving-back-home-with-mom arc does not remain out of the question, and in fact has been quietly strengthening as a possible outcome in the background. It has happened to greater YouTubers than her, after all.
I'll be the first to say that I could be wrong again. But I just don't see where enough money is going to come from if only 14 Beezers show up for her streams.
