Female Streamers Can Earn Money from Their Live Streams: Through Subscriptions, Gifts, or Donations from Viewers
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the profession of streamers has become increasingly popular and accessible. With just a computer, a camera, and an engaging personal space, many individuals have transformed into familiar faces across various streaming platforms.
However, the swift development of this industry, outpacing legal frameworks and societal standards, has also given rise to controversial behaviors surrounding “view baiting,” “donations,” and the commodification of personal identity.
Accepting Donations at All Costs
This has led to a “bizarre phenomenon” where many women streamers can earn substantial incomes by accepting various challenges posed by viewers. For instance, recently, a viral live stream from a Japanese platform featured a beautiful female streamer who, after receiving a reward of 5 million yen (approximately 900 million VND), immediately complied without hesitation, shocking the online community! This scenario often sparks intense criticism, suggesting that such behaviors degrade the value of female streamers to mere financial transactions.
“Always accept everything,”
“I’m just here to witness what’s happening,”
“She doesn’t waste any time thinking about it…”
With a large audience, particularly those under 18, such images not only create stereotypes about gender and sexuality but also shape a disturbing mentality that “to be famous and rich quickly, one only needs to comply with demands.”
The identity of the streamer in question, Baerasoni, is no stranger to the scene. A prominent figure in the streaming industry, she is known for her bold style and engaging personality. Her streaming channel has seen a rapid increase in viewership, reaching an average of hundreds of thousands of viewers per broadcast. She not only entertains but also expresses a wide range of emotions, making her streams highly captivating. Consequently, Baerasoni’s streaming channel is frequently monitored and subject to scrutiny.
However, Baerasoni is not just a content creator for profit. She speaks multiple languages, including Japanese, English, and even Chinese, enabling her to engage with international audiences across various social media platforms. Notably, this “star” does not shy away from any challenge posed by “VIP” viewers. This has led to numerous debates about whether her actions cross ethical boundaries.
Baerasoni’s Actions Clearly Break the “Streaming Laws”
Baerasoni’s behavior has indeed violated the unwritten rules of most streaming platforms due to the explicit nature of her content, turning her live streams into a business model that commodifies the self.
Instead of delivering valuable content such as educational material or life skills, many streamers resort to sensationalism to achieve their financial goals, often compromising ethical standards. Baerasoni continues to generate buzz with her provocative content, leaving viewers captivated. Her approach has sparked confusion among audiences regarding the boundaries of acceptable content.
When Earning Money is Seen as Inferior
The case of streamer Baerasoni is just one example of numerous similar incidents that have occurred recently. It reflects a broader trend where many view the act of compromising ethical standards as commonplace. There has been a rise in the phenomenon of streamers who seem to transition from “rags to riches” multiple times on air. If this trend continues to grow, it raises concerns about the future of a new generation that views money as the sole objective, leading to a culture that prioritizes financial gain above all else.
A significant part of this issue lies in the inability of streaming platforms to regulate content effectively, or in the viewers who encourage such behavior through donations and incentives, perpetuating a cycle of sensationalism and degradation.
If future streaming platforms enforce stricter regulations and guidelines while promoting positive content, many inappropriate behaviors may be curtailed. However, amidst the competition for viewership, many may continue to engage in unethical practices to maintain their audience.
Viewers also play a role in this dilemma, often caught between wanting to support their favorite streamers while also being critical of the content they consume. The irony lies in the demand for sensational content leading to the continuation of such practices.
Mindfulness Before the “Donation Trap”
It cannot be denied that streaming can offer numerous opportunities, generous income, and the chance to help many people. However, it is also a profession that carries significant responsibilities, especially towards the hundreds of thousands or millions of viewers who follow them.
Donations should not be a mere tool for personal gain. Viewers need to be mindful, choosing content that is healthy and ready to engage with channels that promote positive and educational material.
For female streamers, while donations may seem like an immediate solution, they can create a long-term dependency. Fame can be fleeting, and if their content consistently undermines their value, it can lead to a loss of respect and credibility. Streamers have the right to earn from their creative labor. However, when creativity is linked to sensationalism, violating societal standards, it reflects a decline in cultural values.
Ultimately, the 900 million VND is not just a figure; it symbolizes a perilous race: will the streamer maintain her worth, or will she succumb to the pressure of view counts and donations? Furthermore, do streaming platforms have the necessary strength to curb sensationalist behaviors? And will the viewer community be conscious enough to avoid promoting such content? Now is the time for a philosophical shift, as the future of streaming should be green, clean, and beautiful.
