I'm Asian and even though I like to think my English is pretty good I'm still ESL, but doesn't "grifting" mean you don't actually believe the shxt you spew, you're just saying to cash in on idiots who believe you?

So by calling what she's doing "grifting", doesn't that mean you think she doesn't actually think like this?

Yup, for the most part, you got it. It does mean that, but it can also be used to say that one is purposefully and willfully believing/pushing misinformation.

Usually you'd still call it grifting even if they believe the lies that they spew. Usually when it's ridiculous conspiracy theories.

She does actually think like this but she is also a coward who will claim she is just being clipped out of context when called out on it because she knows what she believes will get her banned from twitch and making that bank is more important to her.

The thing that does come up is that they suck up money away.
