I think it's likely also some amount of wanting to support people. I know I've added subscriptions to some streamers I've always watched because I'm watching more of their content now that I'm at home all the time. It only seems fair to pay them for their work if they're entertaining me for an hour or two each day.
I don't care if they think I'm their friend. They're providing a service that I enjoy and I should pay for it, especially now when I have the money to do so and other people may not. If you could pay $5 a month for weekly episodes of your favorite TV show, I'm guessing most folks would?
