Female Streamer Faces “Backlash” After Being Donated a Huge Amount by a “Rich Benefactor”
In the world of livestreaming, particularly among female streamers, competition can be fierce. However, if a streamer is a hot girl and possesses a bit of charisma or vibrancy, she may find it challenging to connect with her audience. The source of income through donations can be quite significant. Recently, a new female streamer received a whopping 220,000 RMB (approximately 770 million VND) from just one male fan. However, this large donation ended up causing her some trouble.
It turns out that the “rich benefactor” actually has a family, and the large donation was later deemed “illegal.” Immediately, the authorities summoned the female streamer to return the money. The court ruling stated that she must refund over 50,000 RMB of the initial donation received from the benefactor. However, she is not required to return the remaining amount.
Lessons from the Streamer’s Experience for the Livestreaming Community
The court’s decision has been evaluated as reasonable and fair. While female streamers may not actively encourage fans to donate large sums, many believe that some streamers, especially female ones, still seek to evoke emotional responses from their audience to “encourage donations.”
One viewer commented: “There will be manipulative tactics, such as offering exclusive content to male fans or creating a sense of urgency, which may lead to an overwhelming response from these fans. As a result, viewers may feel satisfied by contributing large donations.“
Of course, in a straightforward situation, there wouldn’t be much to discuss. However, many streamers have experienced “backlash,” even venturing into legal territory when fans donate large sums. It can be said that the industry is not only highly competitive but also fraught with many complicated situations for those involved.
