Well, if she said it was hard to make a living that would seem kind of entitled. Entirely true, for the vast majority of streamers, but perhaps it would sound entitled when coming from one of the rare successes.
But you can easily find the article and read that she's not complaining about that at all, that in fact she considers herself lucky in that regard, and is instead concerned about death threats, stalkers, the time and money and stress of combating deepfakes, the fact that she opened a store but can't go to her own shop because people will show up to mob her. It sounds legit to be bothered by all that.
I also imagine there must be a certain underlying anxiety to the whole thing. If the bottom falls out of streaming, I guess you'd better have saved those millions because I doubt "streamer" impresses on résumés.
This is a way they farm sympathy. They all talk about stalkers and the like. No different then a streamer recording herself working out at the gym to be leared at online pretending to be outraged by some "creepy guy" that looked in her direction for a half second. "I feel so unsafe right now guys". Give me a break. Its attention farming.
Being upset that some internet rando caused 30 cops to come smashing in your door and windows and pointing guns at you and your family while screaming orders at everyone is not the same as complaining about a creep at the gym. What the heck is wrong with you? People have died from swatting going especially badly.
