When Pokimane decided to take her talents to Twitch, it was obviously a smart decision as it's led to some pretty enviable experiences for the star. For instance, along with "quickly [becoming] one of the 100 most followed on the platform," according to the Daily Star, Pokimane also took home the award for Best Streamer of the Year at The Shorty Awards in 2018.
That kind of popularity is also why in March 2020, Pokimane announced that she had signed a "multi-year deal" with Twitch to stick with the platform. While The Verge notes that the details of the contract (i.e. how much money she racked in) haven't been disclosed, the Daily Star asserts that there's "no doubt" that the "deal will have been very lucrative for her."
Impressed? Well, you might gain even more admiration for the star when you find out that she actually could have scored a larger payday if she'd moved to another platform, but she accepted "less money" from Twitch in order to stick with the service that helped make her famous in the first place.
While that sounds like Pokimane is riding high on constant success, it turns out that she's also suffered a heart-wrenching loss.
