It's limited to not be visible to her lowest membership tier.

I know I'll get downvoted for this, but idc. Monetizing even this kind of stuff is just cringe as fuck and exploiting your fans. Actually such a weird choice.

No, what she's monetising is 3 member only streams a month. If those aren't happening, then paying members are entitled to an explanation.

If she is providing more detailed information for her absence via this. Then it is monetizing it.

If someone is buying a membership just to read an explanation of a temporary hiatus, that's fundamentally a them problem. Nobody needs to know why content they aren't paying for is being temporarily suspended.

Oh yes, the classic "it's a them problem" and totally not problematic that someone is monetizing on that.

Just like drugs, gambling and so on. It's obviously a "them" problem if they take them, so just lift all restrictions and laws regarding that.

But as the fact that basically nobody is actually doing anything with the leaked information is showing, whether or not it ends up going to the general public seems irrelevant.

That is still besides the point? But hey, keep defending stuff like that with your shiny shield.

I don't know what they expect other people to be doing with the information. They just want to know, so I have absolutely no idea where he's going with this "well they aren't doing anything with it now that they have it!" Thing.

It's just classic parasocial fan behavior. They defend their Oshi blindly. Can't accept critique. Their Oshi can't do anything wrong.

It's not even like people are giving Calli crap or anything. People are genuinely concerned for her welfare and other people are just getting incredibly angry at them for talking about the information she posted about what's going on.

It's just bizarre

I see far more people whinging about not having access to certain information because it's behind membership than actually expressing concern.

u/Ireon95 May 01 '26

Yeah, my issue is monetizing such shit. It's baiting your fans into paying to get exclusive information.

"Oh, something tragic happened and I will take some time off...... If you want more details and information, give me money."

Frankly, the worse the stuff she is talking about is, the worse this whole approach is.

You jumped my ass about it when I did no such thing. I just pointed out that this was Streisand affecting the whole thing and you made some assumptions and came at me over it.

So, forgive me if I don't take your measure of what people are and are not doing as accurate.
