For youtubers, I'd be absolutely giddy if Technology Connections was secretly paid off by grocery stores to sell discount dishwasher detergent. (And they'd be right)
For streamers, well I've always liked the thought of Sasha Grey being paid for by a large church. Either the LDS or like Methodists or something.

I can understand not wanting your favorite streamer to get funding from a toxic source, but why would I want them to be funded by anyone specific?
Time can only tell if you've been rooting for someone like Peter Thiel all along.
Wouldn't you want someone like him to be secretly funding your least favorite streamers if anyone?
The community and not a single person who can dictate a direction the person goes.

Plenty of people want to fund a cause without taking credit for it. Jacques Cousteau's patron for example - Thomas Loel Guinness.
Steve Buscemi

Our future alien overlords.
"Aliens" is really the only correct answer here. The rest lack vision.
Timothy Chalamet being an actual NL sub would be so huge
I don't have a favorite streamer, but I hope George Soros is funding hasanabi. It would make MAGA's face melt
Either you're very confused or I'm misunderstanding your post.
George Soros is a MAGA boogey man because he's a liberal billionaire and is the subject of many conspiracy theories. He's often cited as funding liberal causes.
Hasan is the most famous socialist streamer in the world. He's been leveraging this recognition lately to support progressive politicians.
