People watch them for entertainment, it's a lot of work to maintain that follower level. The streamers I watch don't ask for money and are extremely grateful when they get one. Hell, I'd love to play games for a living but don't have personality to address 8k viewers and keep them entertained. If you don't like them, don't watch them. Edit: They also do charity work and pull in viewers when they guest on charity streams which in turn leads to more donations. Your post smacks of jealousy.
