"Superchats" or their equivalent on any streaming services are just currency for dopamine dealers. The "famous omg so cool" streamers are the dopamine dealers. They make people feel like they're not alone at first, and it's comforting to watch/listen to someone playing/doing something you're into. But soon, like with all drugs, just watching isn't enough- you're not getting the same dopamine, the same feeling of comfort from just watching. You must engage. But why would super-famous streamer ever acknowledge *you?* You're just *you* after all, nobody special, not a super special streamer. But, if you give your favorite streamer $25, you can send them a message that everyone watching will see! And he might even read it out loud, and most importantly.... **YOUR FAVORITE SUPER FAMOUS STREAMER MIGHT SAY YOUR NAME!!** Omg you've been noticed! Out of the thousands of viewers, *you* got a call out from the streamer!! DOPAMINE HEAVEN YEAHHHH BABY!! That's not enough, eventually. Despite giving your favorite streamer hundreds of dollars, you don't have any real personal connection to him. You want to be *friends*, you want to be able to show the entire internet that [insert streamer] knows and likes *you.* So a competition between viewers begins- who can impress senpai the most? How do you do that? By throwing absurd amounts of money at them, of course. **STREAMING SERVICES WITH "SUPERCHATS" ARE JUST MODERN DRUG DEALERS. THE DRUG IS DOPAMINE, AND YOU GET IT FROM BEING NOTICED BY SENPAI BY GIVING HIM MONEY.** This also applies to the whore streamers too.
