I know I explained here, but the reason artisans like streamers tend to be reactionary is because, like the rest of the petite bourgeoisie, they stand to lose their autonomy. The petite bourgeoisie as a broad class collectively tend to value independence and fight against losing their autonomy.

This is the precariousness they have, whereas the proletariat has already lost their independence and so seeks collectivization. The petite bourgeoisie lose their independence through collectivization, but depending on the level of class struggle can actually side with the proletariat despite this against a common enemy, the haute bourgeoisie.
