1. Every time a streamer has good RNG, this turns into a video and goes around. It creates an illusion of streamers always having good RNG.

2. Streamers play a lot and know what they're doing. Anyone who plays a lot and knows what they're doing will be rich. Actually, the richest players in the game, temp leagues included, aren't streamers. It's usually a guy with a private profile you haven't even heard of if you aren't in the know. It usually involves a coordinated group of experienced players working together for objectives - or trading non-stop.

For example, in previous leagues there were groups rushing Uber Atziri - one guy farming and collecting fragments, one guy leveling the uber-killing build, another helping in other ways, etc. Then you have someone farming uber within a few days from the league's start and cornering the market, and then you see a screenshot of someone with multiple mirrors on week 2-3 and the conspiracy theories start flowing. The reality of the matter is, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The conspiracy theories are usually a lazy explanation by players who don't know even 1/100th of the process through which someone arrived at a ton of currency.

Fun fact: probably the richest guy in the game, Rayamn, never did anything involving RNG as far as I know. He has tens of thousands of exalts.

Another fun fact: I know a guy you haven't ever heard of who had 4 mirrors on week 2 of perandus SC league by flipping 24/7 for two weeks straight. He levels to seventy-something on day one to get a basic bank and then he starts rolling. Again, no RNG or cheating whatsoever, pure market knowledge and trading. Here's a thread in the crossleague trading forum where he vouched for a buddy and linked the mirrors (this was somewhere in the third week of Perandus league): https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1630752
The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.

Yeah, GGG gives free shit to less than 1% of it's player base just to anger the rest. Makes PERFECT sense. I'd call this a conspiracy theory but it's not even a hypothesis. You have literally nothing to back that statement up.
