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.
Even if you hate them all there has to be someone who yoy hate particularly more than the rest. Meaning there is someone who would be, generally, more acceptable than another.
Or perhaps, someone you hate the most being sponsored by someone you hate the most in the hopes they all die tragically in an act of mutual anihilation.
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.

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?

There's no such thing as 'my favourite streamer'.

Not having a favourite streamer doesn't imply hate towards all streamers.

Who is your favourite duduk player?

The community and not a single person who can dictate a direction the person goes.

I don't think there's any secret funding scheme that I would think is good. If it's secret, there must be something sinister about it, no?

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

I'm pretty sure it's just the viewers. He's shown numbers before and they seemed believable.

"Aliens" is really the only correct answer here. The rest lack vision.

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.
