Pokimane and JiDion burying the hatchet leads to talk of clout farming

This has led to quite a bit of talk about the situation. One person alleged that Ninja and his wife had nothing to apologize for and that Pokimane played her audience to get clicks and views on her content, and it worked. They accept it and seem to be ready to move on.

It’s well documented that drama between streamers brings in huge numbers. Some viewers of a YouTuber named Offline Ace’s video on the subject feel like this coming up around Pokimane’s huge announcement was a way to keep eyes on her channel and push more numbers.

Another commenter also pointed out that JiDion does not have a strong Twitch following and is enormous on YouTube (3M+ followers). The whole situation was incredibly random while also being very well-timed.

The content creator's following came up on Twitter as well. It seemed strange to one viewer, and another replied that if JiDion wanted to stream, he could, and nothing would stop him since he has a massive YouTube following.

Some asked if it was all a publicity stunt or some way to farm drama and social media impressions.

Not everyone seems to think the quick reconciliation is legitimate. People can squash a beef quickly and realize that they were wrong, and it doesn’t look good to some Redditors.

Some on Twitter felt it was all a big setup, and the viewers paid to view it all anyway.

Some felt it was just scripted to gain viewers for both streamers.

JiDion's platform on YouTube is massive, which led to some being sure it was all a plot to gain more views for both content creators.

It’s been a topic of debate since the original incident, and while some think the drama was just quickly and amicably squashed, others aren’t so sure, chalking it up to just another setup for views.
