No, no, not at all, i just do not unterstand it.
He actively wanted out as seen by the desperate text sent to his mother saying how he "felt like a hostage" that was read aloud by one of his abusers on stream, but due to coersion both financially and socially. In one of the streams his abusers openly brag about how if he doesnt participate in their "game" they'll take the keys for his car and his apartment until he does.
There's generally a lot of factors that add up to staying in an abusive situation. From his point of view its likely that there didn't seem much of an option for him outside of this.
Yeah, so go after these fuckos. They deserve even more outrage than the plattform which has obvious shitty protection protocolls
A person with a intellectual disability will often be easier for abusers to manipulate and may not value their own well-being over the abusers approval
I mean, i get that the platform has obviously shitty security features, but more outrage should be directed towards the two asswipe streamers that actually tortured the guy.
