You can say the same thing about Patreon, donations, etc.

Sure, you don't have to pay to watch them but its a way of giving back to them. And on platforms like twitch, being subscribed to a channel does things like remove ads and access to emotes that are part of the live interaction if you want to participate in that.

Paying to remove ads is a bit different though. Paying $100 so a streamer pretends to like you for three seconds is really not healthy.
