Mizkif admits Twitch fame has lost its shine: \u201cI need that time [offline]\u201d YouTube: MizkifMizkif opened up about the hardships of being a popular Twitch streamer and admitted internet fame has lost its shine. The star explained the long hours and constant stress has taken a toll, with him needing more time offline to find balance. Mizkif\u2019s popularity has been on the rise in the last couple of years. In fact, Dexerto ranked him the number one streamer on Twitch in 2021 due to his immense growth and innovative content throughout the year. However, he admitted that it\u2019d taken a toll on him, and he explained why, claiming that he enjoys his time off more because it allows him to escape the constant stress and \u201csubstantial\u201d hate he receives online. \u201cNowadays, I actually like my time offline more than I like my time online,\u201d said Miz. \u201cI need that time, and I think it\u2019s because I\u2019ve gotten my fill of attention and popularity. I don\u2019t need it or crave it as much as I used to.\u201d He explained that it\u2019s not because he\u2019s achieved his goal of being one of the most popular streamers on the platform. Instead, it\u2019s because he thinks being in the spotlight all the time is \u201cnot as great\u201d as people think. \u201cThe constant stress in dealing with your fan base and the amount of hate that you get can be pretty substantial. I know a lot of you guys don\u2019t really realize that, but I definitely do get my fair share of hate. It\u2019s very stressful. \u201cStreaming isn\u2019t a job, it is a lifestyle. I don\u2019t go off the clock. That\u2019s never been a thing. I\u2019ve been on the clock now for three and a half years because every second, something is happening in the streaming world. If that wasn\u2019t difficult enough already, he also said that the fact some of his biggest competitors are also his friends makes it even harder. \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to navigate that friendship when they\u2019re your competitors.\u201d Miz concluded that being a successful streamer isn\u2019t worth it for the fame alone. However, he admitted that the money that comes with it is nice \u2014 just not at the cost of his mental health. \u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned in this industry is nothing is worth your mental health. If you lose that, if you go insane, there\u2019s nobody fixing you. So as long as you keep your mental health [in check], you can do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
