If it's streamer and influencer types, they're doing this as their job so it's all tax deductible and written off as business expenses. And games silently sponsor them and give them free pulls a lot or pay them back in sponsorship deals.

If it's regular people, the easy answer is addiction, and just like with many other addictions, they get the money by pulling money from other places in their lives that could have used it. Sure, I'm sure some of them are quietly rich and this is their hobby, but what are the chances it's all or most of them?

Right, like I've seen in a lot of fandom circles, gacha addicts grifting and doing gofundmes to cover bills and other expenses because all their actual money is going to gacha. It's sad mostly because there's no real way to stop the predatory game from existing to exploit addiction.

They don’t even seem to enjoy it! They rush to complete an event with the “optimal” characters and strategies as fast as possible, then rush to complete another event in a different game as fast as possible, zooming through game after game with no time to relax. I’ve been told ak.gamepress.gg is targeted towards this kind of player, which explains a lot about the site culture.

On your last point, back when Love Live School Idol Festival was a big thing (rip you are forever missed), there was this guy on Reddit who was extremely wealthy and decided to do an experiment to see how much money it would take to get every single Ultra Rare that came out. It was a ton of fun, but it also invited a bunch of whales to also share their experiences, and you would be shocked by the amount of rich tech guys who really like their waifus lmao.

Unless OP is exclusively or mostly following rich tech guys though, that doesn't really explain things. IME the whales are very open about being rich, like you said, and it's clear where those guys' money is coming from, so it's not those people OP would wonder about.

Either way, whales like that still make up a tiny minority of the actual playerbase in terms of population. The implication that there are more secret rich guys playing Genshin vs. regular people who are knowing or unknowing gacha addicts who then turn around and post their draws for more positive feedback seems inaccurate to me.
