Pokimane Gets Slammed

Twitch streamer Imane anys aka Pokimane recently took the controversial move of capping her donations. Pokimane confirmed that she created the new donation cap in collaboration with live streaming software company StreamLabs because she wants her fans who would otherwise donate to her channel to focus on growing channels that are in need of monetary help or to use the money to treat themselves as she posted on Twitter.

Her intentions of doing that appears to be generous however, with even fellow streamers liking her idea and move, while some were not so happy about it. Twitch streamer xQc complained that other streamers will very likely be criticized by their respective fans for not following Pok.

Maya called Pokimane’s move ‘kind of stupid and sad’. Maya is supportive of the decision, but thinks that it is sad that a streamer such as Pokimane has to think about how other people are spending their money.
