      I’m assuming you’re just a troll, much like the asshat you’re defending. “Drug dealers should be allowed to keep the money they earned by dealing drugs!”, no, they shouldn’t, and they generally don’t get to. “Streamers should get to keep the profits they made by committing crimes for their audience!”, again, no, they shouldn’t, but for some reason they generally seem to get to. Guys got a net worth estimated at about $3million, money he’s earned by committing criminal acts and recording them. Money that he’s paid by American corporations as a benefit of him committing crimes in foreign countries, for the amusement of a (generally) American audience.

      Calling that out isn’t absurd.

      You just compared a fine for Twitch and YouTube to “throwing everyone in jail”. Touch grass.
