I question how people spend upwards to 3000 dollars on Love Live content... How? Just what is it with Love Live that I'm not getting? Anyone who has played the mobile game/watched the anime, please tell me just what it is that I'm not getting about it. What I see, when I watched someone on Twitch play the game is that it looks like your typical school Idol anime game.

The same way people spend hundreds of dollars on Fire Emblem Heroes, or on Champions and skins in League of Legends.
Some people value their time more than they value their money. And if one likes the gameplay and the characters, it is natural to want to speed up progression, especially if you have the means to do so. Sure this may be an extreme case, but some people have a lot of money, and spending that much over the course of a few years may be a reasonable investment if you find it to be a fun game.
And rhythm games are fun. I've probably spent +50 dollars on song packs for Cytus and Deemo.

Well the main question is just what is it about Love Live that I'm not getting? Like, I see people making Honoka Shrines with plushies, expensive figures, and everything Honoka all in one place and what I'm thinking is "It's a cutesy anime about high school idols? What am I not getting... here?" It's kind of like what happened with Sailor Moon when that was first around, but back then I could understand why it was so popular. Love Live I just don't get. I'm not saying its bad because clearly its not, but I'd have to hear it from someone who's played the games and watched the anime to understand what makes it so appealing and make people spend a little too much money on characters for their mobile game. Just what is it about the series that makes people's heads explode?

People can grow attached to a thing for any number of reasons, and there are many ways to enjoy a product.
Currently, there's a person donating 100$ to Ame's Patreon every month. Over 2½ years he too will spend the equivalent of 3000$ on Pokemon Reborn. Merely because he likes this silly little fanmade Pokemon game. Some people spend thousands on League of Legends, others on World of Warcraft. People get attached to things for deeply personal reasons. But to sum up, people get into things because they find them to be fun, rewarding and fulfilling. To some people those needs are fulfilled by Love Live.
Is there a need to understand it on a deeper level?
