They do understand it, they just can't wrap their mind around the fact his fan base is so dense they don't understand that people who intentionally act like twats on purpose are actually twats, the biggest kind of twat.
Yes, because the world is precisely that simple and everyone is either a Dr Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.
Not at all, Athene is just no different to comedians who only tell racist jokes or make fun of the disabled because they can't come up with anything funny or original. There are dozens of streamers out there that produce very high quality stuff but people like Athene become famous instead and its disgraceful.
Yes, why on Earth should Dan Brown even get a penny when doesn't even stand a chance against an average nobel prize winner in litterature?
And I find all path of exile streams to be utterly shit objectively, but at the very least Kripp got many players to start playing Path of Exile while Athene raised a lot for charity. So that's why those two are on my care-radar.

And, I find it funny people hating on Athene. The jealousy is strong in gaming..
Has nothing to do with gaming or jealousy. It has to do with raking in a 6 digit salary from people's donations to "charity", when you could actually donate to a real charity where more than 5% of your donation will actually support the cause.
As a persona or a gamer or whatever, I couldn't care less. When you take people's money in the guise of "charity" and give yourself a 6 digit salary, that is downright scum.
You are an idiot. Where the hell do you get your information? It has been shown time and again he gets nothing from the stream. The people who run the charity has said so, and I doubt Twitch would allow him to SCAM people out of money.
You remember the guy who faked being in a wheelchair for donations? They banned him. But you are here telling us that Twitch would just allow Athene to scam people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but ban some guy doing it for 10? OK.
He makes his money off of Youtube, and I believe he made a huge amount of money in poker. He mentioned one time he made 300,000 playing poker; again, you are just jealous trying to find a reason to hate on the guy.
Jumping to conclusions and saying he's scamming hundreds of thousands of dollars right underneath not only a charity, but twitch as well? Stupid, jealous, hate.
You can hate the guy all you want, but dont sit around defaming him with bogus garbage like scamming charities. Twitch doesn't allow that garbage, as evidenced by the wheelchair faker, which you probably dont even know about.
The worst you can spin it, is he uses the charity for publicity for his Youtube channel, which does make him money in the end. But, hes not scamming the twitch subs; those go to the charity.
This guy.

I think what athena is doing is great. He is raising a lot of money for charity, and if he keeps 5% or 10% for himself, i honetly dont care because thats still a ton of money that would have been never donated to a charity because, lets face it, if you wanted to donate to a charity, you would do it on your own and not because some guy is playing a video game.
On the other hand, I also dislike him. Hes acting like a dick, and that made him popular. And people see that shit and they start sucking his dick for a bit of glory and then proceed to act just like him. So now you have a ton of people who act like dicks and call it trolling cos hey athena is doing it, and obviously you must be jealous and all. If those people at least would try to do some charity work id be ok with it but they dont. So he is just causes a toxic influence on the community by introducing a horde of fanboys that act like him but have nothing to show for it except their inflated ego.
But hey, ALL HAIL THE BLOCK/IGNORE/BLACKLIST/MUTE BUTTON

He raises millions of dollars for charity, playing videogames for a living. While you probably sit there pissed off at life and miserable, and wont even donate a dollar to a children's fun at the grocery store when they ask.
And, if you REALLY think Twitch would put their reputation on the line for one small-time game player, since athene really only has like 2k consecutive viewers most of the time, scam hundreds of thousands of dollars left and right under the guise of a charity, you are about as dense and delusional as it gets.
Again, I gave one example of what happens to someone who scams viewers; the wheelchair guy. Google ZilianOP.
For the record, I dont even watch Athene's stream. I catch his youtube videos, which are funny, compared to watching boring games being streamed and someone sitting there playing a non-competitive game like PoE/D3/whatever. I only watch League games if I am going to watch a stream. But, his youtube videos are full troll, funny, and I get a kick out of watching people buy into his act and actually hate him as if he was a real person.
But yea, when you actually do something for the world instead of just being a hater, maybe you can question his methods.
