Well said. The power of anonymity means we are more unpleasant to eachother than ever before. Keyboard warriors but face to face completely different.
Feel as though we are all getting worse as human beings.
People are bashing developers over game design decisions or pricing of items. EA is such a big organision of thousands employees that any monetary matters are definitely at Director level, not by developers.
Guess they would love to say that but they don't want to bite the hand that feed right.
If there was someone in charge to blame then straight from their website below of their executives. I don't blame developers as they're being used as meat shields against public opinion.
"Chris Bruzzo is the Executive Vice President, Marketing, Commercial and Positive Play where he leads EA’s marketing and commercial operations. In addition to overseeing these organizations, Chris is responsible for EA’s long-term planning focused on initiatives that build meaningful connections with EA’s player base around the world, including business partnerships that concentrate on player health, community, inclusion, and positive play."
Maybe he should surf the forums or someone tweet him about EOMM, SBMM, Cosmetics etc. But then argument has to be logical enough to make him understand its easy to make a quick buck now or better to build stronger trust and reputation for long term loyalty by engaging in consolidated community feedback. Reputation is like free marketing. Community feedback is like free QA/Testing for great ideas. EA got potential to change opinions easily in future.

You're right the result of ban became less of an issue.
She was perceived on her reactions and how she composed herself. Her mistake was generalising everyone has issues lashing out because she didn't leave enough time to cool off. Out of all the positive and negative comments anyone could be her subscribers, so its important to be humble and choose words really carefully.
I've watched few of her streams and every now and then she is bit toxic about randoms and bashes the game. I mean who doesn't, ShivFPS is mentioned loads of times and he is like major rage every now and then. Dr DisRespect was worse he would uninstall the games live on stream bashing developers then next day reinstall it then carry on playing it. We don't know why he was banned, probably signed an NDA with payout for silence if Twitch done something wrong.
RIP headphones with these streamers.
Back when Shroud was actively streaming Apex he was always humble even though he knew he was too good. He presented a "nice guy" image and yes he complained about latency, but he never moaned when he was outplayed and hardly ever rage. He focused on positive of the game, what could be improved and tactical decisions. You watched him not just because how well he played, but how he was good at entertaining and informative. Also without toxicity. Those are better role model streamers.
I'm sure there are other more lonely streamers who would appreciate your sub instead. Would be nice for Twitch to do a random side panel of lonely streamers with low viewers to bring more attention to them. They are forgotten about easily. In fact some stream for months with 0 viewers as they need to be persistent and stick to broadcast schedule to get subs.
