Respectfully, these reasons are utter nonsense to me.
1. I've seen plenty of Twitch and YT streamers (mostly Fortnite, PUBG, Apex Legends) on the 'bad' side of lag. I mean how in the world would you be able to selectively pick out users and specify them for a lower ping while others are higher???? Seriously... what networking magic can do this for them while still allowing the public to join?
2. Many of the major streamers I have seen (again same titles) stick with the same ID. Sure, some have multiple ID's and stream sniping can be a major issue for these people, but for the most part, the 10 or so streamers my sons and I watch, are typically using the same handle (Ninja, HighDistortion, Dakotaz, Chocotaco, NICKMERCS, Danucd, Dr Lupo, DrDisrespect, Timthetatman, TFue, NickEh30, Lachy, Shroud)... they all play the vast majority of their time under their main name.
Have you ever watched a stream on some of these major players and seen just how many stream snipe? I typically have chocotaco on (PUBG) and it is nearly constant. He gets around 3-8K viewers... can you imagine what TFue, or Ninja, or DrDisR has to deal with having 2-4x more viewers? It is a problem for them... either they just run up and say high and get killed or try hard to kill the streamer for their own fame.
