'Confronting Pokimane'

In the latest chapter of this long drawn saga, Graham posted a video on the 22nd of July which featured Pokimane. He started by talking about her social media exploits, before explaining how the two ended up deciding to meet up. The next moment, we see him sitting in Pokimane's house.

As the video progresses, Pokimane explains that it was back in the second year of University that she thought she could become a full-time streamer. Pokimane ended up making more than $10,000 only via Brand deals.

Further, she says that whenever somebody asks her about her job, she calls herself a 'YouTuber'. She argues that most people nowadays only understand terms such as 'YouTuber', or 'Internet Influencer'.

Pokimane says that her mindset hasn't changed much since college, and earning a hundred thousand dollars feels pretty much the same as making twice or thrice that amount.

She also goes on to explain how her team works and how she chooses the jobs that she will do. Pokimane talks about her business model and how her team coordinates with each other.

After talking about the financial aspects, Pokimane talks about how her days go by when she works. She also claims that sometimes she feels like giving up streaming. However, she then tries to treat it like a 'job' and get back the motivation.
