Pokimane has kept fans, haters (you know who you trolls are), and speculators guessing these pas🍌t weeks as the successful streamer was in the process of deciding whi♛ch streaming platform she was going to sign with.
Pokimane began streaming on Twitch in 2013, when she was still new to it all, but her visibility since then has exploded, of course. Imane "Pokimane" Anys signed an exclusivity contract with Twitch two years ago, which ended last month, and the Canadian left it up in the air which streaming service she'🀅d go with. This left many to speculate the streamer might end up choosing YouTube. Now, Pokimane has finally revealed which platform she's decided on, and it's a bit of an anticlimax.
On Twitter, Pokimane revealed that she's re-signing with T♏witch meaning she will remain str♏eaming on there exclusively. Talking about her decision via Twitch (thanks ), Anys said she chose Twitch instead of YouTube Gaming since she "can't get enough of that good, good Twitch chat", making it clear that she prefers the layout of having a chat panel right alongside the stream and the audience interaction. At the time of writing, Pokimane has , , and total views of 212 million on Twitch, according to TwitchTracker.
Pokimane celebrated her platform announcement by making another announceme🥀nt - that she was giving away a car. Referencing the dramatic video in which streamer Ludwig Ahgren 💯revealed that he was moving to YouTube Gaming, Pokimane lightly poked fun at Ahgren with the comment "instead of choosing between a red or purple car".
Pokimane had been in some Twitch drama of late, when she became victim to hate raids instigated by streamer JiDion. He was banned for his actions and this prompted him to put out a request to his fans to stop harassing her. How🌟ever, a twist came when a surprise Tweet by JiDion showed enjoying a burger, with the Tweet "Ask me and Poki questions". JiDion later posted a short video on Instagram saying, "I don't like beef. I'm a chill dude... If you have disagreement with a person, it can always be mended". The two streaming personalities are to collaborate on something although details on what this potential project might be have not yet been shared.
