    ...and they're not even remotely objective. The big ones are paid cash, and before they stream they've already had a team working with them, covering what exactly they do or don't want shown and talked about - and if there are any technical problems, they've been worked out, which may even include special builds of the game. The smaller ones are "partners" who get access to the game earlier than purchasers, zero-cost items for giveaways, and some access to game publisher staff - but only if they play by the (NDA'd) rules of the publisher, and those rules usually explicitly say "do not say anything negative about the game."
