Pokimane BLASTS Amouranth & IndieFoxx.
As the Twitch community comes to terms with Amouranth and Indiefoxx’s ban for exploiting the ASMR category, an increasing number of Twitch personalities like Pokimane have weighed in on the situation.
Addressing the lesser-discussed side of the issue, Pokimane shared her concerns about the real “ASMRtists” suffering in the wake of the category being exploited for views.
The minute-long stream highlight comes from Pokimane’s latest, where she elaborated on the ongoing controversy in the community. Pokimane said:
“I feel like I haven’t heard a lot of people say this, but I do personally want to add that I feel really really bad for legit ASMRtists that spend their whole life trying to make interesting, cool ASMR content. And as someone who has done ASMR for a bit, I actually stopped making ASMR videos primarily because I noticed how much effort and dedication it takes to continuously upgrade your equipment, to continuously come up with creative, cool sounds that are intriguing to people, it’s a lot of f*g work.”
