Or they would simply stop consuming on that platform or find an alternative source, or someone else would fill the market gap. This shit is clearly profitable and prevelant. It's not like Chapo ever stopped making money, even when Bernie stopped being a thing.

Someone would want to make money in that gap.

Edit: Unless you presuppose that watching streamers is literally an addiction, where addicts will go to less that premium sources to consume, which isn't a terrible model, but if that is the model for online ideological discourse we are already well and truly fucked.
