When it comes to the beauty of female streamers, Pokimane is arguably among the top in the world. Not only is she skilled at gaming, but she is also incredibly beautiful and charming in conversation. Therefore, it’s no surprise that every time she goes live, she attracts a massive viewership. Thanks to this, this streamer has been quick to venture into a new field, which is online selling during her live streams.
Specifically, Pokimane recently launched a line of cookies branded under her name called Myna. Essentially, these are small cookies sold at a price of 28 USD for a pack of four bags. While this is easy to understand, when Pokimane shared this on-air, many people mistakenly thought she was selling them for 28 USD each. When she received backlash and complaints about this exorbitant price, instead of patiently explaining to her viewers, Pokimane chose to respond in a shocking manner.
Accordingly, the streamer surprised many by making a lengthy statement. Besides explaining the specific price, she also sarcastically remarked to the complainers that “I know math is hard, but only for idiots“. Naturally, this statement quickly drew a lot of criticism from viewers. After all, misunderstandings can easily occur during interactions, and Pokimane’s angry response seemed somewhat excessive. Her attitude made viewers extremely upset, and things became tense to the point that shortly afterward, the female streamer had to issue an official apology.
Pokimane stated that what she said was simply a joke and acknowledged that she would reconsider her pricing to keep her cookies as affordable as possible. It remains to be seen whether this apology can mitigate the criticism directed at her, but it is certain that if she continues to maintain such an unfriendly attitude towards her viewers, her online business will soon fail.
