Neekolul responds to backlash on $2m apartment tour YouTube video Twitch: NeekolulTwitch and TikTok sensation Neekolul has responded to criticism of her $2m apartment tour video, with viewers accusing her of being \u2018hypocritical\u2019 given her political stances. No Twitch streamer has had as unique a rise to fame as Neekolul. Back in March 2020, the Mexican content creator went viral on TikTok for a video promoting Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, and became an overnight success as she gained over 1000 average concurrent viewers on Twitch overnight. As a result of her newfound success, Neeko was able to purchase a brand-new apartment in Dallas, Texas, which she claimed to be worth $2 million. But the video has received some backlash, having since been viewed over 400,ooo times. It has just 4.5k likes, compared to 60k dislikes, at the time of writing, as viewers criticized her promotion of policies like taxing the rich, while simultaneously showing off a $2m asset. The streamer was neither surprised nor disappointed in the dislikes she was getting for the video, and explained that the ad revenue she was receiving as a result of the publicity made up for any unwarranted attention. \u201cI don\u2019t care how many dislikes it has because dislikes don\u2019t do anything,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why people are like \u2018I\u2019m gonna dislike it\u2019 and I could disable the dislikes on it if I wanted to. \u201cBut I don\u2019t care, because that video has a lot of views and it also has a lot of ads on it, so at the end of the day I still get something.\u201d The phrase \u201call publicity is good publicity\u201d springs to mind when looking at other statistics, too. After releasing the video on Jun 1st, Neeko gained 2,000 subscribers in a week: her highest weekly growth since November. It\u2019s not just viewers who have been critical, with fellow streamers believing the apartment isn\u2019t worth the hefty price tag. Hasan \u2018HasanAbi\u2019 Piker believes she \u201cliterally got scammed\u201d, while Mizkif damned the tour as \u201csome Ludwig clickbait sh*t.\u201d While this apartment tour video has exposed her to a lot of criticism, it\u2019s clear that Neeko isn\u2019t all that worried about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
