There’s also a difference between some 100 viewer Andy on Twitch, and someone like Kai Cenat or Pokimane or xQc. Those are some recognizable names and faces, and they take precautions about this stuff. They have assistants and other staff that nobody would ever recognize.

Yet I have never heard any of those names before. If you ask a random person on the street you’d be better off putting your money on them not knowing those names.

  Some of them are popular enough to have 100k concurrent viewers. Some have had multiple stalkers and threats on their lives. When they go out and do IRL streams, they have to hire security.
  
  The average person may not know who they are, but all it takes is one coincidence to put their lives at risk.

You’re making my point for me; I’ve literally never heard any of these names before you mentioned them. Wait, I might’ve heard the name Pokimane before but I must’ve thought it was an alternate pronunciation of Pokemon or something and didn’t realize they were a person, much less who they are.
