Just looked it up, since I remembered hearing about it and apparently there are some new rules where you only need one if you average more than 20000 viewers.

That's the case for just 2 streamers in Germany. No other streamer had more than 20k average viewers in the last 30 days, but some are close, so they might have one as well.

I wasn't sure if this was a joke about overlicensing of everything in Germany, but alas no.
I think it's even funnier because it's true
