  … Emily, who agreed to be interviewed on the condition that her last name be withheld due to concerns of harassment..,
Surely it would be trivial to pinpoint her location given the thousands of clues that must be regularly on film: street signs, weather, mail, etc.

Also, the rewards are not what I was expecting. Maybe she receives more from tips, gifts, or other non official sources.

  …Emily’s paid-subscription count, which peaked last year at 22,000, has since slumped to around 6,000, dropping her base income to about $5,000 a month, according to estimates from the analytics firm Streams Charts.

I would venture to say that a study of influencers and streamers would find similar results.
