Lurker
A subscriber who pays but rarely or never interacts — no messages, no tips, no likes.
A lurker is a subscriber who maintains their subscription but never interacts with the creator — no messages, no tips, no likes, no comments. Lurkers are silent consumers who make up a significant portion of most creators' subscriber bases.
While lurkers don't generate PPV revenue, their subscriptions still provide reliable baseline income.
