Frustration Among Loyal Supporters: A Case Study in Online Streaming Culture

In the realm of live streaming, the relationship between broadcasters and their sponsors can be complex and fraught with emotional investment. Recently, a prominent supporter known as Applepangpang expressed his disappointment on social media, highlighting the challenges faced by dedicated fans. “Despite the criticisms and controversies surrounding you, I remained a staunch supporter of your broadcasts,”he lamented. “Although my ability to donate has diminished due to personal circumstances, did you truly have to treat me with such indifference?”

This sentiment reflects a growing concern among sponsors who feel neglected, even after years of unwavering loyalty. Applepangpang continued, “I have been with you since 2022, standing by you through various scandals including your boyfriend controversies and allegations both in the Philippines and the U.S. Are you really under the impression that I was oblivious to the extent of the situation?”
