I have a really stupid question about twitch streaming

Thais might be really dumb, but what prevents someone following a streamers feed from joining their game, knowing their hole cards and taking the streamers money?

I believe everyone who watched a Twitch stream asked this question -most of us to ourselves.
Streamers put a delay ranging anywhere from a minute to five.
Yes, opponents can join the stream and see the hole cards after a few minutes or may have a chance to learn about the streamer's current strategy, tendencies etc. That is the -EV part of streaming among other things.
