Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo, a famous Twitch streamer, recalled his first encounters with well-known content creators like Jake “JakenBakeLIVE” and Imane “Pokimane” Anys during a recent livestream.
He related the tale as he watched a 20-minute YouTube documentary called “Twitch Rewind 2018-2019 | Livestream History Vol. IV,” which chronicled the most notable and well-known streaming events of the year. Eventually, the Texas-based influencer stumbled upon a clip featuring Pokimane and JakenBakeLIVE’s IRL stream moment. He used the occasion to express his feelings regarding first encounters with some of the most well-known individuals at TwitchCon 2018: “So like, I went to the ‘partner lounge’, which was a s**t hole, by the way, and it was like, it’s just high school, chat. Like, Twitch is just like high school.”
Today’s lengthy broadcast was presented by Mizkif, who spent the first few hours responding to popular YouTube videos. The video from Livestream History was one of them. At the hour mark, the co-founder of One True King (OTK) recalled first meeting JakenBakeLIVE: “You want to know the first time I met JakenBake? I was like a cringe lord. I was at TwitchCon 2018, with Erobb, and bro, I thought… don’t ever tell Jake I said this! Ever! This stays between you and me, chat. Okay? If I see one of you tell Jake, you’ll be perma-banned. All right? You’re gone, because you’re a snitch!”
He recalled his initial meeting with the IRL Twitch streamer being tense: “Dude, when I first saw Jake, I was kind of nervous to meet him, because he was popping off, and he was hanging out with all the OfflineTV people.”
Later, the 26-year-old used Microsoft Paint to show how the inner workings of the content creators’ communities were carried out, claiming that Twitch was “just like high school.”
Mizkif continued the conversation by saying that Erobb221 and himself were “not relevant in the slightest” and were therefore not part of the streamers’ inner circle. He stated: “In the middle, you had your most popular people. Right? Which was like, Pokimane, LilyPichu, JakenBake was there, Greek(Godx). You know, you had like, all these people, then you had your orbiters of them, then you have the oribters of them, then you had the orbiters of them, then you had me and Erobb outside of the area, because we were just not relevant whatsoever.”
The streamer claimed in the last section that he and Erobb221 were thrilled after first meeting JakenBakeLIVE and Pokimane in person: “So, me and Erobb are like here, right, and we’re like, looking in, and I’m like, ‘Dude, that’s JakenBake! What the f**k!’, and he’s (Erobb) is like, ‘Bro, oh my f***ing god!’ That’s the first time I saw Pokimane and she was sitting there with Jake, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t! I’m so close.'”
