【ENG SUB】The reason why Mito doesn’t have a Membership

[@cryw1092]

That is a fair reason. It can be hard to trust yourself sometimes.

[@KNPS-MAGIO]

I respect that girl greatly. Involving money is one aspect I'll always have trouble with, I understand that this is business and thats probably where their biggest income is however, in everything in life whenever you involve money, bad things can happen, people will feel entitled to say things to you because they are paying and then you either will feel obligated to acknowledge them or feel bad for ignoring them. If you do memberships you will need to prepare double material and can't just stop doing videos, basically people pay more to eat more of your life.

[@Klactech]

Well said, that's exactly how i imagine i would feel in this kind of situation and you described it perfectly o7

[@RestedAura2]

Thats a new perspective for me on superchats and memberships honestly.

[@1na548]

Honestly, mad respect

[@noraiou]

Inchou always knows what she's doing.. As expected of Mito, she is the best

[@firzy1833]

She's called iinchou for not without a reason.

[@PhuNguyen-ph6lx]

Mito really got the one of the best "content creator" mindset of all the Vtubers I watch. Mad respect for her

[@noobadhi7029]

As someone who can't afford any membership yet, there's a time I feel left out whenever my favourite Vtuber does a membership only stream but not anymore now. Never had an ill feeling toward the Vtuber or whoever who buys the membership for the reason that it was one of the source income for my loved Vtuber and they deserved any of it. Iinchou also has a very valid and fair point on this, I think that she just doesn't want to lose complete authority on her chat "the bad ones" to her kind soul.

[@zaralux7959]

Big respect to iinchou amd kenmochi.

[@AlexPerez-tt9ru]

" justice"

[@frostea7043]

Honestly I can respect her position on this. I bought membership for some of the girls but it's because I wanted to support them. I don't really care if members still just get the same thing as non-members. I guess it's more like if members do happen to get some perkz then yippie but if not that's fine too.

[@RedactedVirus]

As expected, our class president is a very thoughtful person.

[@accuset]

I think Mito is one of the most responsible VTubers I know.

[@MinendTL]

Seeing people in chat differently depending on if they have membership or not is something even I as a fan catch myself doing. You have no guarantee the person who isn't in the membership even likes the Liver - is how I justify this to myself, but really, you can never be sure. It's also like permitting people who pay money to do more than people who don't, which is bullshit. While membership is indeed a status of liking the Liver, not having it by no means is equivalent with not liking them. I know that, but I still can't help but unconsciously treat the two groups differently. Stupid brain.

[@ChronicalV]

It's more unlikely that a member is a hater than a dono, and even that is unlikely. It's not unreasonable to separate the two

[@-Raylight]

This is why I respect Iinchou so much. Not only she's probably the reason Vtuber livestreaming become big But she's pretty humble about it too, she doesn't want to discriminate her fans Sasuga Iinchou, she's not Iinchou for nothing xD

Does she actually have SuperChat enabled now? I followed her awhile back and was never able to send her any SC.

[@Altercepez]

Respect for her,

[@fourze4z138]

Best girl

[@LuckyTyches]

Mito explained it perfectly and it is a valid reason, also if fans want to support her she is constantly releasing merch and voice packs

[@jzesu9889]

Merch and voice packs are also better since it goes directly to the company and the Vtubers themselves whereas superchats and membership money goes through a lot of cuts like KZbin and taxes.

[@shieldmaiden179]

How about the overseas viewers, they can't buy merchandise since the shipping fee is high unless those overseas viewers are super rich. So better make a membership that would cost around $1

[@ADayinWhite]

0:55 - 1:07 I respect the dude, but I can't help thinking about Kariyu here and chuckling given his recent Twitter block/unblock.

[@kagayori6780]

I have conflicting feelings to this matter. First is that I want them to be supported by others so Membership might be a good idea. But it might lead to a tight spot for the one who allowed it when decision making is needed on treatment. Either choice on treating the audience would be both with a reason behind but by being equal to all means setting a standard that new audience will learn and in turn might convince them to give more support which must be a goal. It's all about opportunity cost and... the trust to the audience and the trust to oneself of being impartial. This is a little bit similar to why there's some who don't put rules in their video description.

[@yoursonisold8743]

There is certainly a level of class divide with the membership system. It's not just blocking and stuff, but also member only streams, which as an incentive make sense, but which leave a chunk of the audience behind. Furthermore there are a lot Vtubers who act like members are a more personal circle and they can be more "themselves" in front of them, which honestly makes no sense. 5 bucks a months dont make you closer to the Vtuber and there is no reason to think they are nicer than others. It's not any less public and available in the end, so changing your attitude there wont help. It worries me more for them, because they let stuff slip sometimes out of a sense of seclusion that is just an illusion.

[@sinasafari7349]

they feel closer because there's less ppl

[@gladewings1192]

Member only streams are a bonus or extra if you think youre being left out then its your problem, youre just getting butthurt because they get an extra content thats all. Alot of Vtubers even do it like twice a month and some even rarely do it. Either way this Vtuber thing wont be a thing if people wont support or give them money no matter what you say $5 a month is nothing or whatever its still an effort to support them in return Vtubers give them some bonus content. And also alot of people join membership not because of member only streams but because they want to use custom emoji. And i myself wont be getting butthurt that i cant use any of their custom emoji, jealous yes but butthurt? no. Now if you think about it its more like Entitled fans vs Butthurt fans kinda thing but really its not the case alot of people who join membership just want to support or use custom emoji especially during singing stream. Mito's point is valid and fair but member or not if you dont follow the rules of no spam then you deserve to be block.

@@victorgin4562 honestly no one else is that dumb to simulcast a scripted stream directly on bilibili and expect no backlash

[@HudaefCares]

@@sinasafari7349 Apparently Kaichou doesn't have a bilibili account (one of the reasons why CN idiots think she's anti-China) so her CN fans streamed it on Bilibili (without her permission) for her. Also most CN people usually don't give a fuck about Taiwan issue, that's why they forgave Haachama so easily. Just that Kaichou's anti-China image plus geopolitical tensions between Taiwan and China at that time intensified equals so much shit for Kaichou. Why are they still hating on Kaichou? Partly coz as far as they're concerned it's her fault why Hololive left China. No connection with their awful behavior at all, no./s There are also rumors of some businessman financing the harassment on Kaichou, also rumors on China wanting to steal Cover tech.

You really had to upload this almost at the same time with Sora opening membership😂 While her point is fair, that just sounded like a "me problem" and at least Mito is aware enough that she might open membership in the future. Irresponsible people exist, member or not. Because, humans.

But I do understand where she's coming from. Were I in such a position I would like to limit how much people could donate with super chat that would just cause people to spam so that wouldn't really do anything

[@borntraitor289]

it is a -duty- privilege to simp, not a right to spam

[@a_paandah]

Sora and mito has the same principle But looks like sora give in and open membership with price half than the other member

[@monoremu3200]

I guess that also depends on a person's financial status. Some might not need membership that much, but those who do aren't giving in or anything, at least imo. It's like comparing yourself to a volunteer that does amazing charities and ask for no money u know

[@IncognitusAdham]

"give in" would be a little harsh of a word to use in that context. Since it's probably the management that decided and having a membership can also a mean to protect her chat, especially if she ever collab with coco on her channel. She even has the lowest membership fee in hololive.

[@a_paandah]
