“Don’t feel the need to push yourself, you know, you should be able to eat before you’re able to superchat me, ok?” This response was quickly met with a mass exodus of donations, with fans donating even more money to the streamer.
“I will end this…I hold the power here, I have the power here!” laughed Mori. “It’s called I turn the donations off. I’ll think about turning them on later, but when I turn them on, no one’s going to know. I’m going to do it secretly.”

Whether the reaper will limit her donations in future streams remains to be seen, but for now, it seems the Hololive star will be monitoring the superchat a little more cautiously.
