“When people donate even more, I feel like they have a certain expectation - I feel so bad,” she said later in the same clip. “Even when sometimes people donate like $20 to me, I feel guilty,” she said during the same livestream.

She also encouraged people to get involved in the chat.

That same livestream saw Anys explaining her decision a bit more, noting she believed that watching livestreams, especially sponsored streams, was a better sign of support than monetary sums. Viewers took the change positively, with one recent donation jokingly stating that they were going to use the extra money to buy “double the RAM” on their PC now. Anys has also deftly commanded a lot of attention this year, like with her recent AOC livestream that encouraged viewers to vote - meaning that, even if donations are lower, she’s still getting paid. Earlier in 2020, the bubbly personality announced a multi-year deal with Twitch, and while specific sums weren’t disclosed, you gotta imagine it was worth a pretty penny. But, as one of the biggest channels on Twitch, Anys can likely afford it. It’s an enormously classy move, and one that runs counter to the ways many influencers seem to function. To anyone that was more generous- please support growing channels, charities, and treat yourselves.❤️ /QhrusbDFxD- pokimane November 2, 2020 Thank you for supporting me to the point where I consider anything more than that unnecessary. Worked with to create a donation cap of $5 for my channel!
