The young Twitch streamer Fibi recently experienced an unexpected moment when a viewer donated 3,000 euros to her. In her reaction, she displayed confusion and emphasized that as an influencer, she is not proud of not having achieved anything significant in life.
Who is Fibi? The 17-year-old Fibi, also known as “xFibii”, has experienced an impressive rise on the streaming platform Twitch within just three years and has built an enormous following of over 650,000 followers on her Twitch channel.
This makes her one of the most prominent female streamers in Germany, and her success even extends beyond national borders. In August 2022, she impressively reached the top 10 of the world’s most-watched female streamers.

“You work for it,” Fibi said, surprised
How did she react to the donation? Fibi could not hide her surprise and gratitude when she learned of the generous donation worth 3,000 euros. In an emotional outburst, she questioned the donor and asked if they had “fallen on their head” or “were out of their mind”.
During her emotional outburst, no words of thanks were spoken, but rather words of confusion. She stressed that she wasn’t actually doing anything extraordinary and couldn’t understand why someone would donate so much money to her.
Amid loud statements like “You work for it” and “I’m just 17”, she emphasized that this excessive generosity couldn’t continue like this, as she believes it goes far beyond normal support.
What is behind the statements? Despite her rapid success and the generosity of her fans, Fibi has repeatedly shown a certain distance to her role as an influencer in the past. She stated that influencers generally have not achieved anything significant in life.
We influencers have actually really achieved nothing in life. One should be proud of an education, one should be proud of a real job. […] We are just the entertainers. We are just the people who take away boredom, nothing more.
Fibi admitted that she feels she contributes nothing to society, even though she genuinely wants to help others. She explained: “It can’t be that I wanted to be a federal police officer and now I’m an influencer who does nothing but make money”.
The streamer reported on a touching moment when she received a message from a viewer who told her that her content had helped them during a difficult time. This was the only moment when she felt she had truly helped someone.
For people with conventional jobs, it can sometimes be difficult to understand the high income of large content creators. This discrepancy occasionally leads to heated discussions.
