That might be changing, however, as the most followed female Twitch streamer could be moving.\u00a0 With over 9.3 million followers on Twitch, Pokimane stood firm while YouTube, Facebook, and several other competitors swooped in to offer lucrative deals to her fellow top streamers\u2014signing her own exclusivity deals to remain with the purple-colored website. With Twitch loosening its hold on creators and those big creator contracts drying up, however, it looks like her time sticking to one platform may be coming to an end.\u00a0 Is Pokimane leaving Twitch? Where could she stream next? After serving as one of the faces of Twitch for more than six years, Pokimane appears to be moving on from the platform to chase new horizons.\u00a0 In a cryptic Tweet on Jan. 30, Pokimane said this was \u201cthe end of an era,\u201d noting that she has seen Twitch as her content home for more than 10 years but that it is now \u201ctime to say thank you for all the memories and love during my League, Fortnite, & Among Us days.\u201d She did not immediately clarify what this means, but the wording makes it seem like she will no longer be broadcasting on Twitch\u2014or at least not in the same way she had before this announcement.\u00a0 To further add fuel to the fire, Twitch responded shortly after the post went live: \u201cWhat an incredible journey it\u2019s been. We\u2019re so proud of everything you\u2019ve accomplished and what\u2019s ahead in the future. You\u2019ll always have a home on Twitch, Poki.\u201d\u00a0 No further confirmation on what is next for Pokimane has been shared by the streamer, her management, or any other platform just yet. Despite that, it looks like the most likely move would be her signing a deal with either Kick or YouTube.\u00a0 Kick CEO Ed Craven has gone on record that he and his team have wanted to sign Poki to the platform before. That doesn\u2019t seem like a move Pokimane would want to do, though, considering she openly pushed Twitch to ban gambling and had a decisive stance on Kick, which has \u201ctarnished\u201d the brand of other streamers like xQc. It is more likely she will make the safer move for her brand, jumping to YouTube as the Google-run company continues its efforts to expand into the livestreaming space.\u00a0 This article will be updated as we learn more about Pokimane's future in the streaming space.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19172659\/Pokimane-shrug.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1115012"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1115044,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012\/revisions\/1115044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1115012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1115012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

That might be changing, however, as the most followed female Twitch streamer could be moving.\u00a0 With over 9.3 million followers on Twitch, Pokimane stood firm while YouTube, Facebook, and several other competitors swooped in to offer lucrative deals to her fellow top streamers\u2014signing her own exclusivity deals to remain with the purple-colored website. With Twitch loosening its hold on creators and those big creator contracts drying up, however, it looks like her time sticking to one platform may be coming to an end.\u00a0 Is Pokimane leaving Twitch? Where could she stream next? After serving as one of the faces of Twitch for more than six years, Pokimane appears to be moving on from the platform to chase new horizons.\u00a0 In a cryptic Tweet on Jan. 30, Pokimane said this was \u201cthe end of an era,\u201d noting that she has seen Twitch as her content home for more than 10 years but that it is now \u201ctime to say thank you for all the memories and love during my League, Fortnite, & Among Us days.\u201d She did not immediately clarify what this means, but the wording makes it seem like she will no longer be broadcasting on Twitch\u2014or at least not in the same way she had before this announcement.\u00a0 To further add fuel to the fire, Twitch responded shortly after the post went live: \u201cWhat an incredible journey it\u2019s been. We\u2019re so proud of everything you\u2019ve accomplished and what\u2019s ahead in the future. You\u2019ll always have a home on Twitch, Poki.\u201d\u00a0 No further confirmation on what is next for Pokimane has been shared by the streamer, her management, or any other platform just yet. Despite that, it looks like the most likely move would be her signing a deal with either Kick or YouTube.\u00a0 Kick CEO Ed Craven has gone on record that he and his team have wanted to sign Poki to the platform before. That doesn\u2019t seem like a move Pokimane would want to do, though, considering she openly pushed Twitch to ban gambling and had a decisive stance on Kick, which has \u201ctarnished\u201d the brand of other streamers like xQc. It is more likely she will make the safer move for her brand, jumping to YouTube as the Google-run company continues its efforts to expand into the livestreaming space.\u00a0 This article will be updated as we learn more about Pokimane's future in the streaming space.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/19172659\/Pokimane-shrug.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1115012"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1115044,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115012\/revisions\/1115044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1115012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1115012"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1115012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
