Twitch’s popularity is growing and major streamers like Imane “Pokimane” Anis and Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo are calling on the platform to take action against the presence of game streams on Twitch after another streamer admitted to taking money from fans. viewers and other broadcasters for funds. his gambling addiction.
Mizkif, Pokimane, and Devin Nash spoke live about the Twitch gaming issue yesterday and proposed shutting down the platform, which would see many major streamers not using the platform during the holiday season, to get a response from Twitch. . As trends come and go on the platform, like hot tub streams on Twitch, gaming presents a real challenge.
The proposed week-long strike over the Christmas period is by no means confirmed, but all three have expressed interest in the idea.
“Hire a big streamer like Miz or Poki to have ten to 20 biggest streamers, 10,000 or more viewers write a joint statement to send to their partners and ask Twitch to review the statement and make a gaming concession, or others 10 or 20 of those streamers will go on a week-long strike over Christmas,” Nash says, reading a Twitch post by Stephen “Destiny” Bonnell.
The idea was to hit Twitch during the holiday season and impact their ad revenue, with all three saying live that they would be behind it.
“I think you want to make sure the fruit is low enough that people want to pick it,” adds Nash. “It won’t be a huge hit, but it will be big enough for Twitch to take a look at.”
“If you really think the game is that bad, you should be ready to take a week off,” Pochimane added, urging other streamers to take the matter seriously.
After chatting on stream Mizkif as good as Pokimane each tweeted a simple message: “as if Twitch should ban gambling.” Nash also tweeted that Twitch should have banned betting streams on the platform a few months ago, adding that they left Twitch due to the issue.
The new discussion about the lack of games on Twitch was fueled by the news that streamer Sliker borrowed money from other streamers and viewers to finance his gaming habit. Slicker has since apologized and admitted it (via dexerto), and more and more people are coming out and talking about gaming addiction and Twitch’s lack of control over it on its own platform.
By Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has said themselves and “Ludwig” Anders Agren “will do everything possible to return the money to these people” who have been scammed.
