Pokimane set to sever ties with Streamlabs

The 25-year-old recently addressed the Streamlabs issue in a series of tweets on her alternative Twitter account. She revealed that she had asked the organization to take down her pictures from the platform, many of which she had not permitted them to use anyway.

Furthermore, Poki revealed that she made her decision in light of the number of companies that have made accusations against Streamlabs.

She revealed that she would switch donation services shortly, as soon as she could look for an alternative service that met all her requirements. However, Pokimane assured her fans that she would surely switch services.

The Canadian made it clear that she did not condone their business practices and did not support them at all. Furthermore, she also made it clear that she was not in any contract with Streamlabs. Pokimane simply allowed them to use a few of her pictures on the website.


Streamlabs controversy has got the internet hooked

Streamlabs has been under a lot of fire since the organization launched an Xbox streaming service with a bunch of additional features to facilitate streamers. The organization was soon called out by its competitor, Lightstream, for blatantly copying their web design.

Soon after, OBS followed suit and called out the organization for using their name without their consent.

Following these accusations, many streamers such as Pokimane and Hasanabi berated Streamlabs for their actions publicly, stating that they would stop using their services unless the issues were resolved.

The company posted apology tweets soon after, addressing the claims made by OBS and Lightstream.

However, these apologies have not been received positively by the Twitter community, and people still want the platform canceled as soon as possible.
