Why did she leave Twitch?

[–]Dudi4PoLFr 298 points299 points  (5 children)

Let me guess, money, and probably a lot of it.

[–]Lost-Suspect001 58 points59 points  (0 children)

She is opening cookie factory

[–]Beastclaw_Garm 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Is she joining Kick?

[–]wrathofbanja 74 points75 points  (0 children)

That would be an amazing heel turn

[–]ThisTooWasAChoice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didnt she give XQC a lot of shit for that?

[–]Commercial_Brief_619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No she didn’t! She explicitly told xqc she would never leave for money! Lol

[–]Rominions 134 points135 points  (44 children)

her "contract" expired and she wants more money. So she is leaving it open atm.

[–]SoDrunkRightNow2 64 points65 points  (15 children)

The Twitch CEO, DJ Clancy recognizes the fact that viewers don't follow streamers off platform. If streamer A goes offline, they'll just start watching streamer B instead.

Twitch knows it is the premier streaming platform. Knowing this, Twitch will likely never sign individual contracts ever again.

[–]Rominions 9 points10 points  (3 children)

That maybe true but let's face it 20+ million dollars and having to perform for less people is pretty enticing.

[–]gammongaming11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it is but iirc she was very anti kick, same for hasan, so i doubt they'd go there or that kick would want them.

especially because as twitch found out, people won't follow streamers, if they go to a diffrent platform they won't keep most of their viewers.

[–]SoDrunkRightNow2 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I dunno.

Remember when XQC signed with Kick - Pokimane basically called him a prostitute? She'd look like a hypocrite if she signed with them now.

Plus she doesn't really work with the platform's strategy. Kick exists entirely to drive traffic to Stake. XQC is perfect for that business model because he loves to gamble himself, and his fanbase of juicer-zoomers are much more likely to hop over to Stake than Poki's fans.

[–]gwTheo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be beneficial to have her move to another platform so the audience may go towards a less toxic and controversial streamer, as she doesn't seem to ever bring a positive image for twitch.

[–]amypond420 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

tons of streamers on kick are proving you wrong but ok

[–]bartier999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Knowing this “ butttt isn’t that backfiring lol. We literally see poki leaving cus of it? Obviously this is not the right move to stay “premier”

[–][deleted] 48 points49 points  (26 children)

I'd bet she didn't get a renewed contract considering Twitch and their current finances, probably gonna see Hasan go too

[–]Ohsolemonyfresh 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be just the finances, the Twitch CEO said they won't be doing big contracts anymore because the return they get isn't worth it

[–]CrimsonCalamity5 86 points87 points  (22 children)

Imagine if Hasan didn't have a platform. It would be the funniest thing to see him melting down about it on Twitter.

[–]Nerellos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Twitch doesn't want to give her any contract. She doesn't even avarage 10k viewers.

[–]yeet_god69420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She wants more money because she’s just as greedy as everyone else but thinks that she can fool people into thinking she’s not, and it’ll work on the simps

[–]morbihann 154 points155 points  (3 children)

They are all grifters.

[–]UnrelentingUnalloyed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why the f I heard this

[–]Shieree 94 points95 points  (4 children)

She's fishing for a new contract from the sounds of it

[–]SoDrunkRightNow2 29 points30 points  (3 children)

and it's not going to happen.

Twitch is in cost-cutting mode, and DJ Clancey understands the fact that Twitch is the #1 streaming platform by far. What's Poke going to do, go to Kick and stream with 19 viewers?

[–]Shieree 23 points24 points  (1 child)

Could go to YouTube where she'll keep a good chunk of her audience

[–]Lucid_skyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between YouTube and twitch most will pick the former for sure she'll be fine there are enough simps on youtube

[–]t3chexpert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You realize that Pokimane is bad press and attracts a lot of hate and drama to a platform, right?! I wouldn't sign her either.

After watching Zack for a long time, I try to be more openminded about people, but it really disgusts me, how much praise and success she has gotten over the years, considering how little she thinks of other streamers and her viewers. This aura of moral superiority and belief that everybody is just a supporting role in her show makes this announcement feel warm. Good riddance.

[–]Perferro 49 points50 points  (2 children)

Yeah, she’s definitely a full blown narcissist.

[–]ShadowAltair2 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Not to mention she say everyone is “broke boys” just because they called her out on her overpriced cookies

[–]concerneduck 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And that’s what she says in public, I think it alludes well to what she probably says in private

[–]-Amplify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was able to work when and where she wanted, total minimum hours, multiple breaks and she spits in twitches face on the way out. She brings nothing to the community yet she’s worshiped as a queen. I look forward to her next failed endeavor.

[–]No_Group8001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well asmongoldstein is constantly simping for her or any woman. 

So I don't know why you like this guy at all.

[–]ConanTheBarbariant 57 points58 points  (23 children)

I don't get it.

[–]manly_support 21 points22 points  (8 children)

Myna... mine now? Idk. I dislike this streamer but my assumption is she's moving to kick?

[–]HunterX69X 34 points35 points  (2 children)

Wasnt she against it lol

[–]Spotikiss 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes, but if the contract's high enough an the requirements are in her favor. I could see anyone changing their mind.

[–]HunterX69X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am hoping for that lol, I love seeing money making people give up on the very ground they were fighting on lol.

She was so against it and now imagine with enough money been offered she joined hands with Kick lol.

Everyone has a price

[–]ConanTheBarbariant 8 points9 points  (3 children)

I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted, I rarely use Twitch enough to know the ins and outs of everyone and their activities. I'm just legitimately out of the loop by what they meant here.

[–]manly_support 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don't put too much emphasis on the updoot ratio; reddit can be fickle and random. Who knows why anyone does anything, really.

[–]Outlandishness-Hour 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never worry about downvotes they mean nothing. Watch. I love pokemane, asmon has bad takes and is not bald. Updoot if you agree. I love heckin good puppers

[–]DariusLMoore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit simply has a lot of people who downvote if they the comment doesn't fall exactly in line with their perspective.

Meaning, some people get it, so you're downvoted.

[–]skeeeper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why is that your assumption? Based on all the times she criticized kick? You know that there are other streaming platforms, right?

[–]Nagon117 6 points7 points  (13 children)

She got flack for releasing overpriced cookies as part of her brand, and calling people poor who complained about the price.

[–]ConanTheBarbariant 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Perfect, makes sense now. Thank you.

[–]thinkt4nk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does it? I knew this and I still don't get the joke

[–]Jlietz93 55 points56 points  (7 children)

I very much dislike her

[–]r31ya 28 points29 points  (6 children)

Twitch pay her around 4 million a year for at least 5 year. That's not counting subs, donations and other offline endevours.

lets' say she had at least 20 million, on risk free 5% that still 1 million per year.

She's have noted several time that she have "enough" to not to work anymore.

---

I don't think kicks want her and i don't think youtube wants to spend 4 million on her, so i don't think she'll move, but who knows.

The wording few appareances with Offline TV (i didn't follow poki but offlinetv) indicate that she wants to quit streaming and do something else.

She started to post a bit more on her youtube channel and for better or worse, trying out several other business endevour.

[–]ThisAintDota 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Why do these people even continue to stream, take your money and disappear. Time to enjoy your life not bound to a computer screen. It baffles me how greedy someone can become. She doesnt even need a contract and can stream a few times a week and make 10x more money than your average person.

[–]r31ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some of these people knows the problem with their "Shelf-life" thus their habit to grind as hard as they could till they met that shelf-life.

In Ludwig interview, part of reason why Amouranth stream sooo much back then, only bested by the other goblin king, is her fear of this shelf life limit, (well other than the later known third party reason).

part of reason Ludwig is trying to pivot to be content creation company so technically he may able to generate the next ludwig and so on.

Poki is a case that she's aware she get "enough", have the fame for business pull, started to stream less and do more external business like advertising and stuff. not to mention, she seems wants to have more normie relationship with people. she had this "my princess" persona that seeps into her fandom, the fact that she's f*cking with someone can cause havoc back then.

[–]CrimsonEye_86 3 points4 points  (1 child)

20mil!? Wait, how is the % of tax? I'm sure after cutting down she is left with lesser than 14mil? Or less? I have 0 clue about how IRS tax people on amount of income since I'm not from USA.

[–]Kalthrowaway93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's probably in the 40% tax bracket, so she'd be left with about 12-14 million after taxes, yeah. But that would purely be from the contract alone. I wouldn't be surprised if she made twice that once you factor in sponsors and other revenue.

[–]snsdfan00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's basically been "part time" for the last year or so. 40 hours a month = 10 hours a week. She's got a pretty good following on her other platforms, so she could probably continue to make comfortable money w/o streaming as much, by being a "brand ambassador" or sponsoring/doing endorsements every once in a while. At the end of the day, I would say it was a win/win for both sides, twitch grew as a result of making her the "face" of the platform, & her influence grew as well.

[–]javii1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube and kick would pay her double to join them. Period

Just the kickback from news of her joining them would be worth It for them. It'll be what every streamer will be talking about.... Whether you like it or even agree with it, pokimane is the biggest and has been the biggest female streamer for a long time.

It's not even a question whether they'll offer her or not, she already has one, just not saying yet probably due to some policy. She probably already has a contract with someone.... My guess YouTube.

[–]Chuomge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She’s just going to multi stream

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (4 children)

What happen she see how much Amouranth made on OF and decide to sell a different type of cookie? 😂😂 only kidding don’t hate me.

[–]Newphonespeedrunner 18 points19 points  (10 children)

do they do anything that isnt "twitch bad"

No brand has ever been sucessful by being "other thing bad"

[–]BaldEagleNor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reminds of when Microsoft, in an ad campaign for their brand spanking new, cutting edge Windows phone, decided to hold a "funeral" for the iPhone. Great job, guys

[–]Cheezefries 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Sega does what Nintendon't

[–]General-N0nsense 3 points4 points  (5 children)

We've seen the fate of Sega now. They're a shell of what they once were. Nintendo completely beat them.

[–]Cheezefries 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I was addressing the comment that no one ever successfully marketed that way, which is untrue. They were wildly successful during the period they used that ad campaign. Dismissing that fact because they ultimately dropped out of one aspect of the industry years later is intellectually dishonest.

[–]General-N0nsense 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I mean, if it was so successful, why did they drop out of the race?

[–]Bropower125 0 points1 point  (2 children)

If I had to take a wild guess without doing much research, their consoles being abominations near the end, probably dropping that marketing campaign for something different, and Sonic kind of dropping off too.

[–]General-N0nsense 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I mean the thing is, why would they drop that marketing campaign if it was successful? People will just buy crap if it's marketed right so their consoles being abominations towards the end doesn't really matter. Plus like, I'm not sure how popular they were back when they first released, but Sonic Adventure and it's sequel are seen as relatively good sonic games this day. Like I just feel they wouldn't change their marketing campaign if it was working well. This may be a bad comparison, but Amazon hasn't made many actual changes to their business it seems because it's working insanely well already.

[–]Bropower125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue, but businesses sometimes have to take risks to get ahead of the competition without falling behind so they took some kind of risk for certain.

[–]TheKillerKentsu REEEEEEEEE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you mean like their console died XD

[–]Alterkati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you're taking the banter too seriously. These company twitter accounts are literally just community managers who are basically paid to switch between meming and making actually serious announcements. It's just farming engagement.

[–]wordswillneverhurtme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She acts like mother theresa all the damn time but the moment she can’t get the bag she just has to leave the platform huh? I bet if kick gave her a massive bag she’d stream there and probably dabble in gambling too, lmao.

[–]DeskFluid2550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's news to me that she even still streamed

[–]OrganizationExpert20 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Good riddance that 2 faced lying cunt is a cancer.

EDIT: she acts all goody two shoes on stream and shit but is a cunt IRL. like the whole CrazySlick. thing how her and hasan on stream laughed it off as a joke and their 1st instinct was "oh its trainwrecks spreading bs again" and both making excuses and refusing to own up. thats the real her. her cookie scam. than the calling people "broke bois" then backtrack and try to say "its just a joke" bullshit that was REAL you. and with those Cookies conning your simps advertising them as a "brand new product" then get exposed as rebranding another product get exposed and say the above "broke boy" crap and instead of admitting and owning up to it goers on a bitch ego trip. 99% of her audience is simps shes a dogshit streamer and "content creator" she jsut looks hot/cute and acts "kawaii" and attracts all the simps

can keep ranting forever but we aint losing shit. all teh simps and pplk go around treating her like an angel saint but she's total opposite. all the shit Trainwreascks said about her especiaLLY DURING the crazyslick shit is 100% spot on and hypcrites. people paints trainwrecks as the evil bad guy" when in reality hes mega nice and done more for ppl than everyone else on twitch (that isnt a chnnel absed around helping like alveus sanctuary etc) heds donated/spent MILLIONS of dollars to help people more than smot streamers will make in their lifetime. yet gfet treated like a villain. mostly cause hers the "gambling casino guy".

liek asmon lieks to say "rest in piss you wont be missed"

[–]vickers24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother I think you might be a little too invested in this. Time to take a step back

[–]indigonights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol Trainwrecks a good person? KEKW

Poki living in ur head rent free relax it's not that serious, my guy up in flames on some shitty cookies lmao go touch grass.

Good fucking riddance.

[–]CODE1X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the beginning she was criticizing kick and xqc contract and all the streaming industry in order to have more visibility on reddit/X/Twitch to arrive at the final goal is to have a fat bag like xqc contract .very fraudy way to achieve that goal at the end she got one so gg's for her .

[–]Dizsmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens to someone who likes for example subs for 12 months and then the next day she announces she's leaving twitch how does that work

[–]Bael_Lord_of_End 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny when they not offering contacts anymore she peacing out 😂

[–]crystalizedPooh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after eating a bag of midnight mini cookies in bed,

i scour the covers for all those crispy mushroom morsels

[–]Redericpontx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be so funny if they got her to sign a 75 mil contract and they just roast her and make fun of her for being hypocritical the whole time

[–]NightLanderYoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she run out of yes men's on twitch? Anyways it's a business ruthless woman, she might now have enough money to not stream anymore.

I wish her good luck and hopefully she is still to this day not eating McDonald as she said so to support Palestine.

[–]Defiant_14_88 -4 points-3 points  (3 children)

Still remember when she dick riding ex lcs pro (bgurgersen) to frame just like Emiloose(pussy) dick riding Dyrus to frame.

[–]grendalor -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I mean, Poki was not very actively streaming for a while now. She seemed pretty indifferent about streaming, and in the streams that I watched, she seemed to be pretty bored by it.

I think she wants to move on to other things. She doesn't need a massive monthly income, based on what she has said in the past. She wants to do content here and there on YT and TT, maybe some brand endorsements, pet offline projects and investments and otherwise just managing her money and living her life in LA. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but she did seem to me like she was, in her current iteration, a pretty indifferent streamer who was clearly coasting on her past rep more than anything else.

[–]Bropower125 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is, I'm guessing since I don't watch Poki, probably the most accurate assessment here.

[–]CrimsonEye_86 -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Where is she moving to? YouTube/FB? Or there's new platform?

[–]xPepegaGamerx 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Moving to somalia

[–]CrimsonEye_86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣

[–]Alterkati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm betting on multi-stream, or youtube contract (She may have a connect through offline TV, which has mostly swapped to phat youtube money contracts).

[–]Botanical_Director 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will she get the "this streamer is in another castle" treatement like that Ninja guy way back when?

[–]mgwwgm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her taking a kick contract after flaming xqc would be amazing lol
