In-Depth: How much money extremists can make from livestreaming hate
(Snip)
Twitch is one of several platforms that allow streamers to collect donations for their content. Far-right extremists have leveraged such platforms to propagate and profit from their hate, according to research by Southern Poverty Law Center senior fellow Dr. Megan Squire.

In 2020, she spent months tracking dozens of hate streamers and donors on a platform called DLive. She chose DLive because it publishes all of its financial transactions, unlike larger competitors such as YouTube and Twitch which keep such data secret.
“They stream Monday through Friday, they have a work schedule just like other people,” Squire said.

According to her research, the top hate streamers on DLive made more than $10,000 a month – well over $100,000 per year.

...which started out as a gaming platform, of all things. Apparently it had a very lax TOS and used hard-to-track cryptocurrency donations which made it attractive to haters. Both RooshV and Fuentes were deplatformed recently. Fuentes was booted from DLive; RooshV went through some kind of psychosis and claimed he stopped doing livestreams because of his "religious beliefs". It couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that DLive demonetized his channel as a warning, could it? 
DLive is a bit like Reddit; both are so infiltrated by alt-right chuds that nothing stays innocent for long. Someone could set up a hobby-oriented streaming channel around, say, model railroading, and within a couple of days, the comments would be full of Pepe memes and garbage about Da Jooz and Soros running the world.
