She is threatening to collect her donations somewhere else. Brutal.

  Putting her money where her mouth is. And Pokimane does have some pull in the streaming community, so this could hurt Streamlabs quite a bit financially

    > Streamlabs is free to use, we do not charge any fees and there is no monthly price. Please note that some services such as PayPal or Stripe charge their own fees that they collect separately. We do not charge you any additional fees on tips & donations. > Each tip viewers make will be 100% yours, excluding standard processing fees from credit cards. You have to be making money out of something to lose it when it goes away. They will however miss pokinanes $5.99 a month pro subscription. Will she leave and pay 5%++ to another donation provider (twitch: a $2 donation now results in the streamer receiving only $1.45 -- PayPal: A $1 tip will now only net you $0.48) on the millions a year in donations the multi-millionaire rakes in from non multi-millionaire viewers? Only time will tell.

      Streamlabs is set up in a way that it's super easy to sign up for their pro thing by accident while donating to a streamer. Their business model is "refund the complaints" Considering Pokimane went out of her way to upper-cap donations to a fiver I doubt she's concerned with losing money from this

Who is she?
- unpopularopp 5y ago
  Arguably the biggest Twitch streamer and the face of Twitch used in a lot of ads and promos. Also a Streamlabs partner, so good for her to call them out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokimane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokimane

    The female face of twitch, yes. XQC and others regularly pull 5x the concurrent viewership

    > Arguably the biggest Twitch streamer This person is #39 on this list [1] which shows earnings from ~2 years up till Oct 2021. She is arguably a top100 streamer, but I wouldn't use these heavy wordings of 'biggest Twitch streamer' cause I am sure there's going to be fans of various of these top100 personae who claim such.

      She's the 8th most followed Twitch streamer, and the most followed female Twitch streamer [1]. She doesn't score as high in most other metrics, so there are certainly more channels with a claim to "biggest (female) Twitch streamer" depending on how you look at it. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitch_channels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitch_c...
