Awwwww, that's cute.
Like any other entertainment medium Twitch viewers contain critics, rightly so, because the streamers aren't perfect. The know this themselves which is why they often ask for suggestions and feedback.
Contrary to what you have said, on the odd occasion I stop by to view Jaimes stream, there is a deluge of people sucking up to him. Telling them how he has changed their game so much because they binked some tournament or ran deep. I rarely see any criticism in the chat (I don't stick around all that long because I find the stream content repetitive) and any that is will either be censored or the commenter derided as 'salty'.
Jaime is able to handle himself, he gives as good as he gets, and he makes money by sitting in front of a webcam all day. I don't see the need to have any sympathy for a sponsored pro who gets paid regardless of results at the table. And who is also in the small group of winning players in Poker.
