Why Levy from GothamChess doesn't play on lichess?

Because lichess isn't as profitable of a platform for streamers - chess.com does strong promotion of streamers and offers them more tools.
chess.com bribes influencers to use chess.com instead of Lichess. It helps them increase their userbase and thus pool of people to sell memberships too
I guess he hasn't got time, thinking about what face to pull for his next thumbnail. :).

Why bribe? This is awesome when a company financially supports someone from the chess world to help him to live from chess.
This is a win-win case, and when you refer as bribe you insert a negative point of view, but this is a good thing to me, how would this be bad?
For fun!
Actually, it is because while Lichess is equal for everyone, <3
He gets privileges (streamer commands) on chess.com that allow him to force random people to play, etc., etc.
Now how is that fair?
