It's crazy when you do the math lol but you're absolutely right, I see the same dudes in some live streams dropping hundreds and even thousands of dollars on a girl in a single session and they do it every time. If you can land one or two whales then you don't even need a following any more and I think it's the hail mary that a lot of girls go for if they can and yeah the whales are usually so deep in the parasocial that no matter what, if that's "their girl" then they'll keep on supporting no matter what she does or doesn't do
