If we talk about game streamers in general, this is a sensitive issue: some of them, despite having a million-strong audience, advertise dubious or outright fraudulent projects based on the principle that "money doesn't smell." And considering that the popularity and authority of streamers inspire trust in the advertised products, and the majority of the audience consists of teenagers or young people with a low level of critical thinking, the profit from the advertised projects turns out to be very high. Streamers have ready-made excuses if someone starts to criticize them, and they won't even respond to individual viewers – only if the criticism comes from someone of roughly the same level of popularity and authority. One author even had a video titled something like "Top 10 Corrupt Video Bloggers in the Russian-speaking Internet" (but it's clear that there are many more, it's just that you can't expect to see advertisements for anything decent from smaller authors).
There was a specific case that I observed last year: one streamer advertised a website that, based on several indicators, was fraudulent. A lot of people who fell for it (and practically everyone did) wrote angry comments under the video, to which he didn't respond at all. However, I don't know what happened next, but he almost certainly continues to stream as if nothing happened and may even advertise something bad again.

Воскресайте, камінні душі, Розчиняйте серця і чоло, Щоб не сказали Про вас грядущі: їх на землі не було…
