Poki says that one particular brand wasn’t interested in working with her after she went through a “controversy,” which she revealed during a game of ‘Spill Your Guts’ with fellow broadcaster LilyPichu.
Perhaps referring to the same or a different brand she continued.
“The literal second that I had any sort of controversy, they dropped me. They were like, ‘Delete everything.’ I can’t be surprised. It’s their prerogative. It’s kooky-beans.”
It’s unclear what controversy Pokimane might be referring to, but the streamer did come under fire in November 2023 due to the launch of her cookie brand, Myna Snacks.
After consumers complained about the cost, Poki hit back at a viewer in her Twitch chat, saying: “If you’re a broke boy, just say so.”
However, she later apologized for the incident and explained that her pricing was due to the quality of ingredients in the product and time spent making it a healthier alternative to other cookie brands.
If I remember correctly part of the controversy came around the same time that XQC reviewed the cookie. I don’t remember what he said and I am too lazy to look it up but I don’t think he was exactly flattering to the product. If I remember it wrong, I apologize.
Whether you are big or small, if you have ads and have to deal with any kind of affiliate manager you quickly realize the relationship is kind of like a High School Dropout working for the government telling an architect what is wrong with his building. They don’t know shit but like to shoot their cum while playing boss.
That is one of the reasons the media, trying to cater to the internet, has become so f’ed up these days. It may be partly because of the insane politicians but it is also because of the insidiously stupid affiliate manager who too many people have kowtowed to and allowed them to have their way rather than calling their boss and getting them fired.
An affiliate manager trying to control your content is as bad if they were trying to f you up the ass.
If you are an affiliate manager, love you. 🙂
