Myth and Dakotaz disagree on streamers promoting products to kids Myth – Stream \/ DakotazAli \u2018Myth\u2018 Kabbani and Brett \u2018Dakotaz\u2018 Hoffman are two of the biggest Fortnite streamers on Twitch, but they can\u2019t come to an agreement on how online content creators should influence children. Whether parents like it or not, content creators play a massive role in shaping their young viewers\u2019 lives in modern society. With so many of today\u2019s kids constantly watching streamers and YouTubers, especially when it comes to Fortnite, it\u2019s inevitable that what influencers do, say, and promote affect these children\u2019s character and habits. That then brings up the question of how careful do these creators have to be when putting out content, knowing that at least a significant portion of their viewer-base are kids. Read More: Tfue quits Twitch Rivals Fortnite event – That question stirred up a debate on Twitter on August 22 between Myth and Dakotaz, who seem to have a fundamental difference in opinion when it comes to the issue. Myth\u2019s main gripe was was with the promotion of caffeinated products, and how those promoting such products on their channels should also warn children of potential dangers. \u201cI wish more content creators highlighted some of the dangers of caffeine to their young audiences if they are going to be promoting that type of product consistently,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cCaffeine is no joke kids, and you probably don\u2019t need it.\u201d Read More: DrLupo becomes \u201cthe face\u201d of Rogue – Dakotaz, who of course has a massive partnership with GFUEL, seemingly had an issue with Myth\u2019s statement, and instead offered a different solution. \u201cBy the way, how about we let parents take care of their kids,\u201d he replied. \u201cParents should take care of their kids,\u201d Myth wrote back. \u201cBut influence is a real thing and it\u2019s our line of work.\u201d At this point, Dakotaz decided to take a tongue-in-cheek jab and replied with a GIF of a man holding a Dr. Pepper soft drink and saying \u201cnailed it.\u201d The message he was trying to get across was that Myth\u2019s Team SoloMid was sponsored by the brand, perhaps trying to insinuate that the Fortnite star streamer was being hypocritical. It\u2019s clear that these two certainly have different viewpoints when it comes to managing how they promote products to their young viewers, and they\u2019re likely not the only big-time content creators who disagree. That said, at the end of the day, streamers and YouTubers have the prerogative of pushing their content out as they please, so the onus is on them to do what they think is the right thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
