The streaming world recently witnessed a thought-provoking discussion sparked by Ludwig Ahgren’s comparison of Pokimane’s fame to that of xQc’s during a broadcast. Ludwig’s assessment, positioning Pokimane’s popularity above xQc’s, came as a surprise, especially given xQc’s extensive following on Twitch.
xQc, reacting to Ludwig’s remarks, expressed his astonishment in one of his live streams. While acknowledging Pokimane’s larger Twitch followership, xQc asserted that one of his previous controversies received more criticism compared to the ongoing Myna Snacks drama involving Pokimane.
At the center of the controversy is Pokimane and the criticism surrounding her comments on her snack company, Myna Snacks. Her reference to critics as “broke boys” ignited a firestorm of backlash from the online community. Ludwig’s subsequent video discussing the mounting criticism aimed at Pokimane prompted xQc to draw a parallel with his own past controversy involving a dispute with Ethan Klein, which involved a flaunting of an expensive watch.
The streaming community swiftly reacted to Ludwig’s comparison, with discussions and reactions surfacing across platforms like r/LivestreamFail, indicating varied opinions on the matter.
