During Pokimane's live stream, one of the viewers asked her in the chatbox about Mizkif joining the "right-wing" Rumble and prompted her to look into it, she looked confused. She said, "I'm trynna check for updates." She added after confirming the news, "I mean, he obviously did it for money, which is unfortunate because I don't think he needs the money," Pokimane told her audience.
"Honestly, I should talk to him about it on stream. That’s probably the fairest way to do this." Pokimane is expected to confront Mizkif about his decision on her stream and convince him to reconsider streaming on Rumble, Dexerto reported.
Rumble is welcoming streamers
Rumble has already made headlines for its purported devotion to free speech and for providing a venue for those who are barred from streaming on other platforms. The platform is already acquiring some huge names, it's anyone's guess who else they have lined up to give contracts to as additional platforms battle for top streaming talent.
Rumble hosts controversial influencer Andrew Tate's work, and when Joe Rogan faced backlash for promoting what some deemed "misinformation," Rumble offered him $100 million to leave Spotify.
