I don’t think thats true.

There’s people who have endless time (teenaged trolls) and there’s people who have endless money (lonely middle aged techies)

The teenaged trolls (incels) provide the engagement, and the lonely middle aged techies (simps) provide the spending.

I don't know about twitch, but from my experience with other internet places, often the least mature people who you are sure must be some 15 year old asshole, turns out to be 40, and some of the most mature members turn out to be surprisingly young. I don't think we should assume all trolls all teens.
