Pokimane explains why she approves of Disguised Toast\u2019s move to Facebook Popular streamer and Hearthstone player Jeremy \u201cDisguised Toast\u201d Wang has made a move from Twitch to Facebook Gaming \u2013 and while some fans are wary of the change, another top personality is mainly optimistic. Wang announced his move on Friday, November 22, joining the mass Twitch exodus from other top streamers to mark the first significant personality to stream exclusively via Facebook Gaming. Claiming that he hopes to gain a \u201clarger platform to share my voice with a global audience,\u201d Toast\u2019s move to the service has left many fans scratching their heads as other streamers move to Mixer \u2013 but streaming star Imane \u201cPokimane\u201d Anys is mostly hopeful for his venture. Anys, a member of Toast and crew\u2019s \u201cOffline TV\u201d group, gave her thoughts on Toast\u2019s transition to Facebook Gaming during a Twitch stream on November 22, where she expressed a hopeful outlook on the development in spite of fan speculation. \u201cFacebook Gaming, in general, isn\u2019t that developed,\u201d she began. \u201cBut I think he\u2019s not only a great streamer, but he\u2019s a very smart businessman. So he\u2019ll be able to help them make changes that\u2019ll make their live streaming better.\u201d The streamer went on to throw some subtle shade towards fans overly concerned with platforms\u2019 view counts, reiterating the fact that Facebook likely saw ample opportunity in partnering with Toast in light of competing sites like Mixer and Twitch. \u201cI know for a lot of you guys, it\u2019s just like, \u2018What\u2019s their view count at, eyeballs?\u2019\u201d she continued. \u201cBut no platform starts at 100k. You know? My point is, they\u2019re getting a lot of value out of him in probably a lot of different ways.\u201d While some might speculate that Toast\u2019s decision was based on profit, the streamer admitted that Facebook\u2019s initiative for \u201chelping others in need\u201d was a large part of his decision \u2013 a statement that comes as little surprise, as he encouraged viewers to stop subscribing and donating to his channel just ahead of his move. No matter the case, Disguised Toast\u2019s partnership with Facebook Gaming marks yet another top streamer leaving Twitch as personalities continue to explore other options in the wake of the site\u2019s controversial moderation decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
