He then targets Pokimane as the most prominent and most shocking streamer to join in on the fad, saying he was disappointed in her actions:

"Was shocked that someone as large as Poki, and as representative as a role model as Poki, and runs a f*cking talent agency... Actually, one of the stupidest f*cking things that I have seen in the history of the platform."

He clarifies that she wasn't the only one watching copyrighted content on stream, extending his insults towards other streamers that acted similarly to Pokimane.

"I'm not saying that she's the only one that did it, lots of people did some really f*cking stupid things, most of them are in this category."

He then further says that while he has worked at Twitch he has seen some really dumb things happen, but this one takes the cake.

"Let's be fair, we've seen lots of stupid stuff, but this one? I could never understand why anyone would take the risk. I don't get it."

Many people took to Reddit to talk about the clip, sharing their diverse opinions on the topic.

Even though the "react" meta has now been slowly losing popularity as a subject, it seems that many internet users and industry experts like djWHEAT still have heated opinions on the topic.
