Sure you could avoid the openly hateful creators, but how would you ever know who is secretly hateful?

You don't know what you don't know. Nobody should be blamed for liking HP while they were unaware of Rowling's bigotry and how she funds hate groups.

But once you do know, you now have agency and responsibility. Absentminded consumption of content is not consequence-free, the information landscape you inhabit changes you. Do you ever catch yourself using a word more often after hearing your favorite YouTuber use it? That's just one small perceptible example of what OP means.

This is why it's important for articles like this to inform and remind people to be critical viewers, to be skeptical about what they watch, who they follow.
