I’m sure the dynamics of multiple people in an online chatroom and the effects on their mindset are well above my ability to understand, but I think it’s a lot simpler than that. Streaming is a business with the goal of getting people who walk into your (virtual) shop to give you their (subscription) money, just like every other business that has ever existed. The product being sold is the streamer’s personality and ability to entertain. If your business model involves insulting those people, I don’t think it’s really sensible or a good sign for the long term sustainability of that business to declare them weak minded when they predictably find that being insulted is not something they’d like to pay for. Then again, I’m not a streamer. Maybe they know something I don’t.
