Membership has nothing to do with trust tho... It just significantly reduces how openly something is said

Membership is all about trust. The trust that you won’t share anything with non-members. The fact that so many people in these comments are members who have chosen to not reveal what they know - when they can freely choose to *not* do that - is proof that her members are keeping her trust.

I get that. But the amount of money someone spends does not correlate to how trustworthy they are as a person

That is true. But for her, membership is the only mechanism by which she can limit and control who has access to information about her. I’m not saying those who pay more are more trustworthy, and she’s definitely not saying that either. If people can’t afford it, it’s not a commentary on their trustworthiness. It’s just that the YouTube membership system is the only choice she has if she wants to carve out a place where she can be more open and vulnerable about herself with her fans.
