I've studied Japanese for years and I've never come across this expression
before. I saw this in a Twitch chat and the full quote was the following (I
was the one who asked the thing in 「」 brackets):

> 「ゲーム以外には何か趣味がありますか？」軽く煽られてるように見える程度には汚れてしまった

If I'm not mistaken "/the quote/ 軽く煽られてるように見える" means "when someone says /the
quote/, it looks like this person is trying to slightly agitate (you)". And
when you end a sentence with 程度には汚れてしまった at the end, I think it means the
speaker has experienced whatever is said before that (in this case, a phrase
that apparently is being used to agitate people..?) so much that this person
have come to only associate this thing with something negative (煽られてる).

But this is only a guess... Can someone break this down for me please?

<Something>ように<可能形>程度には<something else>
You are completely correct.

In Japan(or at least Japanese Heavy Internet User), we even think "nice try"
as something negative. It's just like that.

This is a bad culture in the old internet world(it still is though). On 2ch
(now 5ch), a BBS we used to use a lot, there was a lot of behavior of putting
others down in a roundabout way. In my opinion, the real origin of this
behavior comes from the (now rarely seen) disposition of Kyoto people.
Reference (Japanese website): <https://finders.me/articles.php?id=1955>

The reason that streamer thought that your sentence is agitating him/she, is
because he/she probably thought that sentence as "You're doing this
(streaming) because you have no hobbies other than gaming, right?"

I would even think so if I was him/she, sadly.
