Not everyone comes here nor may they understand the influence such threads may have on the development of the game. A streamer is also not responsible for the lack of tact some of their audience may have.

I for one am glad that more people who prefer the quality of the content in DT can come here to express their gratitude and encourage the devs to stay the course and not cave to a vocal portion of the playerbase that spent over a decade playing the same game but still can't seem to move out of a glowing orange circle.
The problem is that he could have made a video, without pointing the finger at a particular thread. He masked the OP's name (for legal reasons more than anything else, I imagine?); nonetheless, it can be found in two seconds. Linked to the player's virtual identity. And from then on, causing problems / raids.

I completely disagree that a yt isn't accountable to its community. On the contrary: managing a community is one of the most essential parts of their job. Saying the opposite is like saying that a teacher isn't responsible for his or her class: if a few students get out of hand and are particularly problematic, we'll always assume that it's up to the teacher to try and calm things down a bit. At least to try. In the case of a youtuber and a streamer, it's the same thing and I'm always surprised that some people (not you: the streamers/youters in question ) think they're above that... What's more, when it comes to winning subscribers, they're suddenly very good at management!
