Yes. And if you press them economically, it will show.

The only difference is that most people do not optimize their lives for profit.

Not at all. In the hypothetical, without getting into the weeds of a business that doesn'tactually exist, if they stop producing the non-livestream content they could quickly find their livestream revenue dry up.

They could perhaps pivot, but at that moment, the superchats only exist because of the non-live content they put out.

So what you're saying is they will drive business decisions to ensure the viability of their livestream revenue stream. I feel like we're all in agreement.
