Times Square charges $150 for 15 seconds every hour (it says photo) for a whole day.

They did that last year. Bought 30 seconds to play the butta dawg korsche. I think it got to run twice.

Kirsche's fans trend towards older single weebs with decent careers, as opposed to most vtubers' audiences being late teens to early 20s and consequently broke af. Same reason MechWarrior Online has a super high spend per player compared to other "freemium" games - the target audience actually has lots of disposable income by simple merit of being old enough to have marketable skills. Plus, I'd be willing to bet this is a collective effort from multiple superfans who pooled money to do something that just one income couldn't achieve.

Yeah that makes sense, at least from an affordability perspective. I’ve never given a red cent to a live streamer and never will, the fact that others would is a rather alien concept to me.

That’s funny, but not $150 funny.

I remember that, good times.

Kirsche's louder fans are as audacious and as authentic as she seems to be.
Honorable Chaters reflect her pretty accurately, it's nice to see.

Which just shows Vtubers that they don't have to be some perfect idol, they can just do their own thing and be genuine with what they do, even if they don't have a large following they can have a dedicated one. Kirsche was a two view for years and even after the Pippa bump it took a year or so for her to really ramp up, she's earned it and I want to see more stories like her's in the space honestly.
