Pokimane | The Dark Side of Fame | Hypocrisy, Threats, False Copyright Strikes & More

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

On the Dark Side of Fame is another story altogether and Pokimane is no different. Although she’s only been streaming for a few years, she’s already made a number of enemies in the midst of her own community, all of whom consider her to be the very definition of a hypocrite thanks to her frequent use of Copyright-Strikes. Then there are those rumors of manipulating her male fans, not to mention some shockingly racist remarks. All of which serves to remind us that Pokimane might very well be one of the most divisive characters on the internet. When it comes to the story I’m about to tell you today -- I don’t think anyone is in the right -- not Pokimane, not JiDion, not Ninja, not anyone. Instead, what’s become obvious to me is that everyone is looking out for themselves while pretending to do so out of consideration for the greater good. So, join me as I uncover a bottomless pit of lies as we do a deep dive into the Dark Side of Pokimane’s fame.
