Seniority/brand loyalty plays no part in understanding the metrics behind stuff like this. To put things in perspective, Sirken could draw half of the server to his stream every Monday night for the rest of his life by doing Guise of the Deceiver raffles with the explicit intent of making money through a Twitch partnership, and he'd be lucky to see a single penny.
You can certainly accept donations. That's not RMT. If I make a thread to give away a hundred fungi tunics and then post a PayPal.me link at the end, that's completely legitimate. There's no prerequisite of payment. Would that be douchey? Absolutely. Is there any universe in which gaining Twitch followers from Project 1999 translates into income? Absolutely not.
It's totally shitty to post in someone's giveaway thread pointing out that it's "not entirely selfless" because he'll gain Twitch followers. If a best-selling author gives all of his book proceeds to charity, do you send him a letter saying how selfish it is because he's increasing his readership?
