Pokimane mentions that she won't sell out to accept gambling sponsored streams

During a recent broadcast on May 18, the Twitch sensation spent the first hour of her broadcast talking about various controversial subjects, including the prevalence of gambling-related content on the livestreaming platform.

During the same stream, the Legacy Award winner took the opportunity to discuss how addiction is a mental illness and emphasized that people should get educated on the topic.

As the topic of conversation moved from one thing to the next, Pokimane came across a clip featuring Ludwig saying that he did not have a price to sell out for gambling-related content.

The OfflineTV (OTV) co-founder agreed with the YouTuber's comments and mentioned how some of her friends have discussed the same subject and mentioned that everyone has a number to sell out.

After giving out some hypothetical multi-million dollar figures, Pokimane claimed that no matter how big the number was, she wouldn't accept a gambling deal:

"Listen, I've had a lot of friends even tell me that they have a number. Right? Is it three million a month? Is it five? Is it 10? Most people have a number. I'm really glad that Lud is ready to say he doesn't have a price and same here!"

She carried on with the conversation by mentioning how she would end up profiting hypothetical $5 million because of her fans losing money:

"Because if I was making five million a month because you guys were losing five million a month. No, you would have to be losing way more because Stake would have to profit. If I'm making five million because I know my viewers are losing 10 million, the guilt would eat me alive, genuinely speaking."

Some viewers in the Twitch chat disagreed with the streamer's statement. Her response was:

"Kapp (Twitch emoticon)? Yo, tell Stake to give me a hundred million a month offer, watch me decline it. Go ahead, tell them to do it."

The Moroccan-Candian livestream then continued to stream for the next four hours.
