The decision resulted in a fair bit of controversy, but after a few months of being quiet, Fran once again addressed the situation on Reddit. In a post, she claimed that \u201c99% of NFTs are scams\u201d but made more selling them than she made in her whole streamer career. \u201cIf you\u2019re buying a picture of an ugly looking bear for $20,000 USD you deserve to lose your money,\u201d she wrote, upsetting some fans in the process. Ngl\u2026 reading this part of Frans reddit statement just comes off as so messed up. -she acknowledges its a scam -she acknowledges it hurts ppl -says she’s ok with hurting ppl bc they should know better and she made a lot of “”gains””\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/KVWqboh5uP\u2014 KCP NyanSpam\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc99#BLM (@NyanSox) July 1, 2022 Fran defends selling \u201cscam\u201d NFTs In response to a fan taking issue with Fran admitting that she sold NFTs for large profits, the former streamer defended her position. \u201cYou do realize the price of the NFTs are created by groups of people and their speculations, and that trading is done anonymously on marketplaces, right?\u201d she asked. \u201cIf you\u2019re trying to feel sorry for the person who bought my NFT, you\u2019re literally empathizing with other NFTers.\u201d She went on to clarify her comment about NFTs being scams, noting how \u201cmost of these projects don\u2019t last long and end up falling in price over time.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/FRANA_OW\/status\/1543960339796168705 During her years as an Overwatch streamer, Fran was one of the most popular support hero specialists on Twitch, eventually even becoming an OWL streamer for both the Atlanta Reign and Toronto Defiant. For those wishing Fran would return to the game with the release of Overwatch 2, don\u2019t get your hopes up. The former streamer says she dealt with harassment on a daily basis when on Twitch and wishes to \u201cnever experience that again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
