How did Asmongold’s statements come about? On November 19, 2023, the streamer expressed his criticism of the platform Twitch during a Twitch stream. The trigger was TFUE’s announcement to stream on Kick soon despite a streaming break. This platform is particularly controversial due to past gambling streams and controversial practices.
Since Ninja’s switch to Microsoft’s Mixer in 2019, successful gaming streamers like Courage, TimTheTatman, DrLupo, Valkyrae, and others have struck million-dollar deals. The streaming platform Kick has also made significant offers to many influencers recently. The well-known streamer MontanaBlack was also offered a lucrative deal from Kick, in case of a platform switch. However, he declined.
What does Asmongold say about TFUE’s switch? Asmongold appeared unimpressed by TFUE’s switch to Kick during his stream. He commented: “If I want to see TFUE, I just go over and watch him on Kick. Is that really a big deal for me? No, not really.” He criticized the commitment of the Twitch community and emphasized that many are not willing to leave the platform.
However, Asmongold also clearly expressed his dislike for the platform Kick in the same stream. He distanced himself from TFUE’s decision, stating that he does not want to support “this gambling crap”.
What is Asmongold’s opinion on Twitch? The streamer went a step further and labeled the Twitch culture as “something for losers.” The streamer explained: “Twitch culture is something for losers. Every Twitch meme and every Twitch joke is just an insider joke for losers.”
He added that there is “absolutely nothing good about Twitch culture” and that it is “stupid.” The streamer even has half of all Twitch emotes on his blacklist to ban them from his stream.
Asmongold’s controversial statements have sparked a discussion about the future of streaming platforms and community loyalty. While some share his opinions, there are also many who criticize the influential streamer for his harsh words. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
