For every streamer, the number of followers is always one of the most important metrics, as it not only affects their income but also represents the status of any streamer. Whether they are famous or influential relies entirely on the number of followers they possess. Therefore, the recent event where Pokimane had to “plead” with her fans to stop and remove some follows from her channel is considered quite rare.
In fact, the name Pokimane is probably no longer unfamiliar to all of us. Once known as one of the famous female gamers, her name became widely recognized only after she fully transitioned into the livestreaming industry. Besides her professionalism, her sexy and hot appearance is also a captivating highlight.
Returning to the main story, earlier this month, after signing an exclusive contract with a well-known livestreaming platform, Pokimane started to rise rapidly. As of now, she has up to 17 million followers on social media platforms, while her personal stream channel has 4.7 million. It seems that noticing an unusually high number of followers, Pokimane began to express concern. This is quite surprising because for many, it is a positive signal. But for Pokimane, she stated that she does not need such “showy” numbers.
Specifically, during a livestream celebrating reaching 4 million subs, Pokimane earnestly pleaded with her fans to unfollow some accounts on her channel. Of course, it was not because the streamer did not need fans, but rather a way for her to focus better on her work. Accordingly, Pokimane asked fans to remove the fake follows and only keep those who genuinely care. For the streamer, she would only truly feel happy if the total number of follows genuinely reflected the number of people who love and care for her.
Truly paradoxical like Pokimane, but this is enough to show that, in the position of the world’s number one female streamer, sometimes numbers may no longer hold much importance.
