The story
In a chat thread on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyou G” board, several topics heated up in parallel. What stood out most was a post claiming Hololive-related merchandise sales had reached “¥5 billion,” which set off speculation about its relationship to Super Chat (donation) income, and whether part of the sales figure came from the talents themselves buying their own goods. The thread also mixed in exchanges about the accuracy of AI-generated images and illustrations, along with reactions to a personal account about a poster’s upbringing — a real grab-bag of both light and heavy topics sitting side by side.
What people said
A Google account, lmao
Unpopular lmaooo
Gemini's actually pretty good at generating text
Though it can judge things like the "stage" too
Doesn't mean much if Super Chat income dropped to make up for it though 😅
Apparently half of that's the talents' own money!
So that's why she's been on edge lately
And you're still gonna tell me I just didn't try hard enough?
What kind of abuse was it?
Whenever my dad was in a bad mood he'd slam doors really loudly
and stomp up and down the stairs
Re: #305
I get it — that kind of thing made me scared of being yelled at and sensitive to loud noises
And if I'm unemployed because of that, are you all gonna say I just didn't try hard enough?
There are plenty of jobs you can get with just a middle school diploma, and those places are short-staffed, so if you can show up and work seriously without skipping days, you'll get hired no problem
You weren't abused, so have some confidence
Summer's coming to an end~ 🌻🐶

How many free retakes did you make the artist do for this picture?
This is clearly a two-person portion
With cooking sense like that, no boyfriend confirmed lol
What's that mystery dish on the right 😥
Looks kind of mushy too 😅
Sui-chan 😭
That's me 🥺
Who do you think you are‼👊😅👊
Using common sense, you shouldn't be jogging on a school route in the first place
Getting mad about being told something obvious — who do YOU think you are
Dabou Ponchi-san!
Another one of Rui's girls, huh 🥴
Got a mole in it? (ネズミ, slang for a sneaky leaker/spy account)
Background and points of debate on this topic
The “¥5 billion in merch sales” figure that came up in the thread originates from a 5ch post — it’s worth noting this is not an official number released by any management office or company. VTuber revenue is split across multiple pillars, including Super Chats (donations), merchandise sales, and stream ad income, so a rise in merch sales doesn’t necessarily mean donation income has fallen — in some cases total revenue stays stable even when Super Chat income cools off. The thread mixed two competing theories — that strong merch sales might be the flip side of falling Super Chat income, and that the talents’ own purchases of their own merch might be inflating the sales figure — but both remain pure speculation. Alongside this, the thread also carried unrelated topics of very different weight, from judging AI-generated images and illustrations to a heavy personal account of someone’s upbringing. That such a wide range of tones can coexist in a single thread is very much characteristic of the Nandemo Jikkyou board.
