What this does not establish
Superchat is one revenue channel and the dataset does not capture sponsorships, merchandise, agency costs, taxes or net creator income.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Preprint status, platform observability and agency attribution limit full-income inference.
What would change the reading
Seek peer review and linked multi-channel net-income data.
