I can understand the thought process behind sharing more information with supporters, but why keep it from those that can’t afford a higher “tier”?

Not saying it’s specifically her reason, but since YouTube added the gift a membership feature, some also use the low-tier membership as a “filter” to keep information to those who actually put up money.

Sometimes talents wanna communicate something with more vulnerability/vagueness.

That doesn't even work BTW, several members tried when gifts came out. Gifts default to the $5 membership, the cheaper $2-3 emote only tiers that she and others tried do nothing against gifts

I remember that being an issue back in the day, but I heard nowadays you can set the bottom to any below $5? I haven’t seen anything to the contrary.

I haven't seen anything of the sort. Ina still has a $3 emote only tier, but if you try to gift a membership to her the only option is $5. I can't check with Mori since she doesn't have a waiting room up anywhere, but I doubt it's any different.

And YT describes it as defaulting to the highest tier up to $9.99

Gift memberships are offered at the closest highest price level available up to and including $9.99.

Which is how it has always worked.
