To play devil's advocate, someone trying to hide something always spurns people on to "find the truth".
All the instances that I can think of where people have been snooping in a streamer's private life have been where they were hiding stuff, for example dating while trying to appear single for monetary gain. Like, if Jinnytty was just upfront about the fact that she's actually traveling with her boyfriend most of the time, people wouldnt still be snooping around to find evidence of him being with her. And I doubt people would still be talking about it, if Fanfan had been honest when her boyfriend was leaked on LSF back in December and had just said 'yeah, I'm dating someone, he's not a streamer and wants to remain private, so please respect that'.
I don't see people snooping in 39Daph's or Waterlynn's private life to this extend, for example. Or in Maya's, if you want an example of a streamer being upfront about dating a non-streamer who wants to remain private/anonymous.
In the long run, being honest is often the better choice and results in less headaches for the streamer and gives less ammo to the people trying to justify invading a streamer's private life, imo.
