I mean have you been on Twitch in the last couple of years for example? “Simping” very easily makes that much money. At least you would get an actual response from this thing
Very true. I have a friend (with a wife and child) that has blow a grotesque amount of money on"cute" vtubers. In his words it's completely platonic but no man spends thousands of dollars on merch and "donations" over a tiny anime girl and not lusting over it.
If they were to start making AIs of those things he'd miss his rent.
