Mizkif reveals how Pokimane helped him deal with \u201cstress\u201d of being a Twitch streamer YouTube: Mizkif \/ Instagram: pokimanelolMizkif revealed the advice Pokimane gave him to help with the constant \u201cstress\u201d and scrutiny that comes with being a top Twitch streamer. Mizkif is one of the most prominent streamers on Twitch and is also a key part of major streaming org \u2018OTK.\u2019 Despite his massive online following and enviable career choice, Mizkif says that being a full-time streamer is no leisurely walk in the park. In fact, Miz claimed that he\u2019s constantly stressed out from being under scrutiny by so many people online \u2014 and he\u2019s hoping to do something different with his content in the near future. Mizkif reveals he\u2019s \u201cstressed & annoyed\u201d by streaming career On May 22, Mizkif uploaded a short Q&A video to YouTube, where he revealed that he\u2019s often stressed out by a number of factors in his job. From entertaining thousands of people every day to dealing with mean comments and even having a huge team of people rely on him for their paychecks, streaming isn\u2019t the cakewalk some people might believe it to be. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of stress that goes along with being a streamer, and the whole saying, \u2018more money, more problems\u2019 is true,\u201d he explained. \u201cAs I grew OTK, as I grew more employees, it gets very stressful having a lot of people rely on you.\u201d Luckily, he revealed that fellow streamer Pokimane gave him some sage advice for dealing with one major aspect of being a streamer: The constant scrutiny that comes with being a public figure. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to really feel your self-worth at all,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd that whirlwind of up-and-down gets very exhausting. I actually talked to Poki about this and she told me, she\u2019s like, \u2018Miz, it\u2019s a shield you build up over time and there\u2019s no way to stop it.\u2019 And she\u2019s right.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve built up a really solid shield to not care as much about negative comments, because you start to realize who you are. And I know who I am.\u201d (Topic begins at 4:12) Mizkif went on to say that he\u2019s tired of being \u201cstressed and annoyed\u201d from streaming and expressed a desire to do other things with his career, including creating a podcast and moving to Los Angeles to collaborate with other creators. Mizkif isn\u2019t alone in thinking that streaming isn\u2019t as fun as it seems on the outside; in fact, many content creators have had to endure large amounts of harassment both online and in real life, with more than a few becoming victims of swatting. This is just the latest brutally honest statement to come from Mizkif after the streamer urged smaller broadcasters to stop blaming Twitch for their low viewership earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
