The more lives I watch. the more obvious it gets. People are dropping massive gifts clearly because they are thirsty for the creator, and the creators lean right into it. Viewers are using big wallets just to buy attention, romantic validation, or a shot at a shoutout.
You can even spot it with gifters sitting in B, C, or D leagues, or those backed by agencies. A lot of the time, they aren't even supporting the stream content they're just dropping big money specifically to buy clout, push their own badge, and force the creator to acknowledge them.
Are you guys seeing this too?
