The German Twitch streamer Max “Trymacs” Stemmler (29) is probably developing fatherly feelings for young colleagues. After dealing with the fate of a failed Fortnite YouTuber, he threatened young colleagues like LetsHugo (20) that he would freak out if they also made the mistake and forgot that they also had to deduct taxes from their income.
This is the situation:
Streamers make a lot of money and spend it. But if the flow of money suddenly collapses, they have problems:

Young people earn a lot of money for three years, squander it and then end up in debt
This is what Trymacs says: The successful Twitch streamer watched a video that deals with the crash in view numbers and Simex’s career. But Trymacs doesn’t feel pity, but rather anger and incomprehension.
From Trymacs’ point of view, it should now be clear to everyone that you have to save half of the money you earn as a self-employed person in order to pay your taxes:
They earn hundreds of thousands of euros and you have to put half of it aside. People make a lot of money at a young age for one, two, three years, then no more. And then they have to pay half of everything they earned in taxes. But these taxes are not put aside, they are used to buy a sports car, the craziest place, then invite all your friends, go on incredibly expensive vacations and then you have 250,000 euros in debt.

Trymacs is upset about this behavior and says: If a new streamer comes along, earns a lot of money and later has tax debts, he’ll “hit him up”, he’ll freak out.
He’s especially keeping an eye on the new generation of streamers like LetsHugo, and he enjoys them so much at events like Craft Attack:
If they owe €300,000 in taxes, I’ll punch them in the face. I’m fed up with young people who make a lot of money and then owe 200,000 euros in taxes two years later.
Don’t underestimate a blow like this from Trymacs, the man boxed and survived in the Canadian wilderness, so young streamers should keep their money together. But the blows he threatens to give to LetsHugo are probably only meant figuratively.
In any case, one can only hope so for LetsHugo when you see Trymacs carrying logs around at 7vsWild: ogres do ogre things, as his colleague Rumathra noted.
In April 2022, Trymacs hosted a boxing match:
