In a new Twitch clip from a Diablo IV stream Tuesday evening, however, Mathil made it clear that not only is he not jealous, but xQc\u2019s behavior is most certainly indicative of someone that is selling their audience out. \u201cIf someone has no money and they get 100 mil, yeah, sure, that\u2019s big, life-changing shit,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if someone\u2019s got probably 100 mil already, gets another 100 mil, what have you done? Nothing. You\u2019ve sold your audience out for another few zeroes, and it is absolutely selling your audience out. \u2026 The whole gambling sponsorship here, the whole gambling slots thing, it\u2019s disgusting.\u201d While Mathil\u2019s comments were largely in relation to the negative impact sponsored gambling streams have on viewers, he made sure to note, in a post on reddit, that Kick\u2019s existence is largely predicated on sponsored gambling streams, as was made evident early on through online casino Stake owner Ed Craven\u2019s investment in the platform. Related: XQc has been live on Twitch almost every day since joining Kick\u2014and that\u2019s what they want \u201cPromoting or being sponsored by slots is just 100 perecent siphoning money from your audience and delivering it to yourself because you've decided you need it more,\u201d he said. \u201cThat's what those previous sponsorships were about, and that's all this new platform is about.\u201d In response to claims that he is \u201cjealous,\u201d Mathil expressed on stream that he is perfectly content with his income and doesn\u2019t feel any desire to vie for a $100M contract. In essence, he provided an argument that followed the old cliche \u201cmoney can\u2019t buy happiness,\u201d and in his Reddit post, he reiterated that sentiment. \u201cThe main thing the juicers will come into my chat or hit me on twitter with is about jealousy,\u201d Mathil wrote. \u201cMaybe when they're grown up they'll realize that just because their streamer only values money and they only value money doesn't mean that is the value system for literally everyone else on this planet. Money's great but it only gets you so far in our gamer lifestyles and beyond a certain point you really don't need to do scummy things to get more of it.\u201d XQc will likely not change the way he operates regardless, as he has previously said he intends to fix the \"tarnished\" brand of Kick.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/xqc-intruder.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899181"}],"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\/1771"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899181"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":899272,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899181\/revisions\/899272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=899181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=899181"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=899181"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=899181"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=899181"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=899181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
