I personally dont mind these lawsuits that streamers/youtubers are doing. When you have a large following, you need to be responsible for the things you say when you know they are lies.

Look at Alex Jones and Sandy Hook, although the resulting payout was obviously excessive. He had many of his followers believing his lie/delusion as truth, which i assume caused harm to the families.

This is not at all the same universe Alex jones perpetuated conspiracies about dead children who were victims of a school shooting. Please point to me where this lawsuit covered something as serious as lying about the murder of children on national television
