100 Thieves\u2019 Valkyrae explains why she\u2019s taking a social media break IG: ValkyraeRachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter, popular streamer and YouTube star for 100 Thieves, has explained why she will be taking a break from social media while widespread \u2018lockdowns\u2019 continue. One of the world\u2019s most popular content creators and YouTubers, Valkyrae has recently explained more of the struggles she experiences as a result of streaming. Citing \u201cdeath threats\u201d and the welfare of her dogs, she has recently expressed reservations about the behavior of some viewers. On May 7, she took her reservations one step further and confirmed that, while YouTube streams and videos will continue as normal she will be taking a step back from other forms of social media, like Twitter. \u201cGonna disappear for a bit!\u201d she explained. \u201cI want to use this isolation to focus on myself. I feel social media has been a distraction, time-consuming & reversing my mental\/personal growth. I\u2019ll still be streaming every day on YouTube as well as uploading videos!\u201d While she confirmed that YouTube videos and streams will be continuing, it certainly sounds like Valkyrae will be heightening her focus on content creation, rather than \u201cdistractions\u201d. It\u2019s fair to assume she\u2019ll be quiet on Twitter for a while, and while it\u2019s not confirmed which accounts she will be moving away from for the time being, she is also a regular uploader on Instagram and TikTok. Gunna disappear for a bit! I want to use this isolation to focus on myself. I feel socialmedia has been a distraction, time consuming & reversing my mental\/personal growth I\u2019ll still be streaming everyday on YouTube as well as uploading videos! See ya there!

Tori Pareno, content creator for Luminosity Gaming, wished Valkyrae good luck and said: \u201cThis is the best time to focus on you\u201d. On a similar note, streamer \u2018angelskimi\u2018 encouraged her to take all the time she needs. While restrictive social measures have been tough for some, it\u2019s good to see Valkyrae using it to focus on herself. We assume we\u2019ll see her back on social media as soon as she feels ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
