This is only a bad move because Nintendo is now losing a lot of advertising

Also lol@ letting people making millions by playing video games and stream, and worst is letting them take all the proceeds themselves..  

First thing, actually it's also bad since they are the only ones doing it. They are the black sheep.

Second thing, they don't get to keep all the proceeds themselves. Youtube take a big chunk. Besides that, what's wrong with them making money from it? They are entertainers, if people are willing to pay for entertainment then those that provide it deserve that money.

Nintendo aren't the only ones doing this (or something similar), but they are part of a minority. Most of the industry appears to believe it's an entirely beneficial relationship (or at the very least no harm), with many publishers actively paying content creators directly to cover their games. Even Nintendo appears to believe it's beneficial to them, they just want a piece of the pie on-top of that.
