As a prominent figure in the streaming communities, Pokimane boasts an impressive following of over 9 million on Twitch and 6 million on YouTube. Continue to know more about Pokimane's reaction.

'Reminds me a lot of Mixer'

During the recent live stream on Twitch, Pokimane gave her opinion on streamers who moved from Twitch to other streaming platforms. Pokimane who was impressed by Twitch claimed, "To me, it's not at all impressive for someone huge to go somewhere and have viewers, because you're already popular. Right? But, until I see an actual platform be able to make creators... like Twitch does and has, frankly, I'd find that impressive, and exciting. I think that's what would really add to this ecosystem of streaming as a whole."

Pokimane talked about the streamers, "It just reminds me a lot of, like, Mixer, a year or two ago. I'm not so sure... okay. Actually, this might be kind of a hot take. I have yet to be impressed by any other platform for streaming."

‘I see a smaller creator pop off’

In addition, Pokimane acknowledged that Twitch had made questionable and disappointing choices. She also expressed concern for the aspiring content creators in the industry. She said, "Obviously, yes, Twitch has done a lot of disappointing things as of late. But, for me, the real indicator that a streaming platform is viable is if I see a smaller creator pop off on that platform."

She also quoted an example of YouTube saying, "YouTube is almost there. But you still can't really swap to YouTube without having a pre-existing channel. It's like the only way. Like a pre-existing... semi-popular channel. So... yeah!" She gave an assurance to her fans and said, "And, I'm not going to lie. Like... your only alternatives are a platform rooted in alt-right content creators and a platform rooted in crypto-gambling content creators. These choices are a*s! I'll stick to my Amazon Primes for now. We'll see what the future holds, I guess."
