Have you seen this before? It’s in movies or TV shows. You see a fan with streamers or strips of cloth blowing in the fan’s breeze. Why do you think this is done? Do you do it?
I searched & it’s mainly on TV just to show that the fan is running. It can also be to divert your attention to the movement.
I don't do it as I don't see the need.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.- Benjamin Franklin 1705-1790

I'm sure it is just to make the scene fancier.
