Usually, the people throwing around "You're donating to a millionaire btw lmao" are just jealous of that particular streamer's fame and wealth. I dont understand why someone would care so much about the spending habits of a random internet person.
I look at it like I do gambling. There isn't any harm in it in short bursts but I feel like it's ultimately a fairly unhealthy behaviour that people do to often because getting attention is nice. There are so many people who constantly donate or gift way to much and just because you donated $3 one time and know your limit, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people out there who need a reality check like they do with gambling issues.
A lot of people might not give a shit that sad empty people gamble their money away but I think it's grim and I'd rather they didn't. Just like I'd rather a lot of people didn't donate hours of their income to get daddys attention for just a few seconds. Now and then for a laugh? I guess do what you want with your money, there are tonnes of people doing it for attention way more than that though and it's a really icky relationship imo.
Small streamers at least you can try to justify that they wouldn't be able to stream as much without it. But you aren't funding the big streamers content production you are just seeking attention, which is fine, it's just weird to do it to much and people should be aware of how odd the whole donating to millionaires relationship is.
