Because it's designed for companies, why the fuck would you pay around 100k a month to give golden checkmarks to all Holo accounts?

The little badge thing is an affiliate account, that account itself doesn't need to pay for twitter business (as you can see by Kuro's blue check).
To get affiliate badges only one account needs to pay for twitter business "Full Access" which is 1000$ a month. That account can then invite other accounts to be affiliate. I think some affiliate accounts are included and every additional one is 50$ a month. Still expensive but not 100k a month.

An interesting take I've seen about this is that at some point, a VTuber begins to view their own model as competition for their flesh selves. They want the kind of affection and (let's be real here) lust that the fans give, but at some point they think that it's not really "them" that the fans love, but their persona (probably not unjustified).

Then the brainworms start. With time their thought process may start running along these lines:

"Yeah, my fans love me, but only because I'm an anime girl who's curvy/stacked/got legs for days"
"My fanbase is growing, but I'm not sure if they will really stick around for 'me'."
"If they ever find out I'm just some average or homely girl, they won't love me anymore"
"I can't take these thoughts anymore, I might as well post and see how it goes. At least I know that the ones who stay are really here for me. Just once can't hurt."

Of course, each girl will have a different attitude toward this, but you see this happen more with indies, because there's no corpo rules that can make them second-guess fleshposting. And yeah, there are those unscrupulous e-girls who really just do it to farm simps (looking at you, Froot), but I imagine many other chuubas who fleshpost do it for the reasons above.

My take: It's probably inevitable for many of the kinds of girls who become VTubers, but I don't like them doing it on main. Tonya and Yuuna's approach of having a semi-open alt with fair warning is a better (if imperfect) approach, since people who don't care for it can just avoid it:

Worth noting that this is different from a Mint and Kiara situation where they had to deal with a large influx of fans who just showed up one day on their RL accounts, not a designated alter ego for when they want to immersion break.

TL;DR: VTubers often want to be loved beyond the model. Understandable, but immersion breaking shouldn't be taken lightly.

Let me explain.

It's the idol story, watching someone stumble and work their way from being a beginner to having talent and pride in themselves. We might not all agree on who we're cheering for but that heart of that journey is the same.
There have been missteps and yabs aplenty but I'm in this with them until the end of it.

Maybe I've got but I'd think less of myself if I wasn't honest.

Feels so shortsighted. Looks fade, meanwhile many vtubers personas are usually just their own personalities slightly reconfigured or just turned up to 11 - and I doubt it's even by that much, as I don't think so many would have the endurance to go beyond their normal selves for multiple hours a day, at least not anymore than people usually do at any normal 9-5 job.

That a whole lot of people would like you for you should be the ultimate self-esteem boost. Exception would be the ones with a sexy model, but even then I think we've seen enough to know that that alone won't keep people coming back stream after stream. The vtuber must be enjoyable to listen to for hours every day, and that's the most amazing thing about all of this - these are women who are enjoyable to listen to for hours every single day. Magical fucking beasts, right here.

I would think people wanting to be with you with how you interact with them instead of something shallow like how you physically look would be the obvious way to go, but I guess I over(under?)estimate the amazing Woman Brain.
