Sadly, this is the way some of the world is and, also incidentally, the way some poker fans/players are. You can see that some people agree with you and I'm glad you say some of the things you have, because when I first started I used to think highly of some people that I do not now - as far as skill is concerned.
I don't think anyone who is a winning player and wants to uphold integrity in this game, also, has any "illusions" on whether some people are winning players or are decent people.
Yes, it's great that the guy brings an audience to poker. It's also great that there is an audience for the homeless. It doesn't mean that people should be disillusioned into forking over money to them. In the same way someone is capable of giving a charitable donation to the homeless someone can do the same for Lex, but not in the manner that WhatsupGuys points out - where Lex is talking about working on his game, then goes on to say he hasn't, monkey tilts when losing a single flip, then disregarding his good fortune, and berating people in chat, who from what I've seen, make very good points a lot of the time. I don't even watch Twitch anymore for the most part, outside of COOP events, because I'm focused on being a poker player and not on someone's entertainment value.
tl;dr some streamers aren't
(winning) poker players for the most part and they shouldn't deceive the audience while raking in money.
