They are basically trying to manage pressure from the administration against that fact that Hasan still makes them a good amount of money. Twitch still makes most of their money from subs and donations, and Hasan is the #4 most subbed to streamer currently with ~52k subscribers.
For anyone who doesn't know, that's $5 each monthly at minimum. Twitch used to just flatly take half, I think big streamers get a better rate now or something but let's just make it simple and assume Twitch is taking exactly half of it. That would mean Hasan makes $130,000 a month at the absolutely most conservative estimate. And that's without factoring in how many of those subscriptions are higher tier (up to like $25 monthly) and the fact that he probably gets a higher percentage of it.
For talking to a webcam.
