what makes someone a sellout

(these are my opinions)
First up, what should be on a speedrunner's layout?
The most basic things are the gameplay and splits/timer. Other things that would maybe be on it would be things like a webcam, the SRL logo, Text regarding splits, text regarding pb/wr, etc.
You shouldn't have anything on the stream layout regarding money. This means no sub/donation alerts. Some may ask why not? Well, if you are a sellout, then the main focus of your stream is money. If you are not a sellout, then the main focus is the gameplay. Having an alert, especially if it takes up half the screen (shoutouts to biinny), then this is changing the focus of the stream from gameplay to money (I once had a lot more written on this but i closed my window by accident and cba writing it all again).
Obviously, there are other things other than whats on the screen that makes you a sellout. Also what the streamer talks about most of the time is a factor.
Other things that makes someone a sellout are:
Merch
Shit ton of sub "benefits" such as sub only mumble/teamspeak, sub nights, etc
Paying more attention to subs in chat
Moments of the stream where the streamer is doing nothing because he is rolling in subs/donations
Taking about what viewers get if they sub
and IN MY OPINION, a green screen webcam.
