Pokimane criticizes streamers for using her to promote themselves

Pokimane criticized fellow female streamers for promoting their content by making negative comments about her. She noted that some use her controversies to attract viewers, questioning the type of audience they want to build. During a podcast episode on March 17, Pokimane expressed concern that these actions foster a community based on misogyny. She suggested that such viewers could quickly turn against those who initially sought their attention. LilyPichu, her podcast co-host, supported Pokimane's views, stating that she disapproves of anyone who puts others down to elevate themselves. This is not the first time Pokimane has addressed this issue publicly.
