Donations on twitch?

I didn't quite understand the model. As I understand that you can donate money to a streamer on twitch. There's something from twitch for that. Most streamers still have a donation button and you will be redirected to a page from streamlabs. There you have the possibility to send the streaming money via Paypal, but you will also see your private name and surname and your email address.

Why do you do something like that? What is it all about? Can you change that or what exactly is there in the bush?

Only as an affiliate partner & through advertising and subs.

however, you will also see his private name and surname and his email address.

No you do not see if you set it correctly with PayPal or if necessary. Create a business account / convert the private.

What if you keep your private account and also create a business account with PayPal? Is that possible?

One calls tax evasion… So casually.
Strictly speaking, you have to report every income to the tax office.

I'm not interested in evading taxes. The sideline would run in my name. I just want to separate work and private life. So my pseudonym would be my sideline. My name would not appear, but my pseudonym. If you then look in the commercial register, the company would run under my name (the real one), only that would not be so obvious and not everybody would jump my name directly into the face when making a PayPal transfer to me. I would do all of this with the help of a tax advisor.

I'm only interested in one thing, everyone who transfers money should not transfer it to my name but to the name of my sideline. So private and business account would be separated and nobody could send me emails to my private email address but I would have a strict separation between private life and business. Is that possible or is it completely excluded?

I would of course pay all taxes. This should only be a hobby in case I stop but I also want to draw a clean line.

Talk to PP about whether you get permission to open a second account as a business account. As a rule, it should work. Please clarify this beforehand, because PP reacts very strictly to it if you have multiple accounts.
