Why Twitch Viewers Shouldn’t Expect Shoutouts For Subscribing

One of the most popular Twitch streamers and political commentators Hasan Doğan Piker or simply HasanAbi has recently explained during one of his live broadcasts as to why he doesn’t thank people who subscribe to him on Twitch. Recently, twitch streamer Imane anys aka Pokimane has criticized streamers who display their sub counts and sub-goals on their stream overlay, which she believes to be an unnecessary method to squeeze more money out of people.

Then HasanAbi who displays his sub count and sub-goals on his stream overlay, have come out to defend the practice as he stated that people would call him a “fucking piece of shit” for hiding his sub count if it wasn’t visible. Hasan leaves a sub count and subgoal up on his stream, and this time he had over 41,000 subscribers and still continues to count.

Since then, the debate has ignited a discussion about how Twitch streamers handle subscribers and now on Hasan’s May 7th live broadcast, he went on to explain to his viewers as to why he doesn’t thank people just for subscribing to him and here’s what he stated; “Other streamers will make it so that you can communicate with them through subscriptions or donations. I don’t do any of that shit. If you’re subscribing exclusively because you’ll get a thank you, don’t fucking do that. The only reason I read out gifted subs is now there aren’t that many, so I can read them. But if I were to read subs then it would just be me reading subs all the time, so it would be dogshit.”
