What experiences does Fibi have with waves of hate? The young and aspiring streamer has been confronted with relentless waves of hate for some time now. Streamer colleague Reved has publicly spoken out and called on her viewers to leave Fibi alone. Nevertheless, the 17-year-old continues to fight against the negative remarks.
Fibi herself has already spoken out several times and emphasized how much the hate personally affects her. In an emotional stream, she announced her decision to focus more on positive comments in order to achieve a healthier mental state. She is now actively trying to pass on this inner change to her colleagues who experience similar pressures.
What does Fibi pass on to her streamer colleagues? Fibi recently had a conversation with the streamer HoneyPuu, who is currently struggling with a flood of hate comments herself. Especially after announcing her breakup with Sascha, also known as “unsympathisch_tv”, the negative comments increased.
Fibi, who has already experienced a public breakup, gave an honest insight into the mental strain caused by constant hate. She clarified how difficult it is to concentrate on streaming when the chat is filled with negativity. The view of deleted messages further intensifies the mental strain.
In an appeal, Fibi urged not to interfere in the personal relationships of streamers and emphasized that she herself has already “overcome the wave” and is slowly coming to terms with the situation.
What does Fibi say about the influencer scene? Fibi revealed the lack of support within the streaming community. Streamers, who are supposed to be colleagues, often shoot against each other and quickly distance themselves at feelings of competition.
The streamer explained that many viewers do not know what private struggles are happening behind the scenes. She emphasized that it is especially difficult when friends are supposed to also be colleagues.
She has already had a similar experience during the announcement of her first own event when many streamer colleagues let her down: Twitch streamer organizes her first own event, gets cancellations from colleagues because “nothing comes back for them”
