Pokimane explains why social media is \u201cexhausting\u201d Female Twitch streamer Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys sparked discussion on Twitter on December 17 when she spoke out about social media being \u201cexhausting.\u201d The 23-year-old is no stranger to the internet, what with her career being online based, but she opened the conversation up for debate when she spoke out about how platforms like Twitter can make people feel. \u201cSocial media is exhausting,\u201d she tweeted. This echoes similar thoughts of popular YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, who quit the platform on December 16 after calling it a \u201ccesspool\u201d for \u201cvirtue signalling.\u201d Fellow streamer Benjamin \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo replied with his thoughts on the subject, and explained how constantly seeing the best parts of people\u2019s lives can contribute to that. \u201cIt\u2019s a curated showing of the highlights of people\u2019s lives, which very quickly can make someone else feel inadequate,\u201d he said. It creates a mess of instigation and assumption between people every day. [It\u2019s] also is a good source of cat memes.\u201d it\u2019s a curated showing of the highlights of people\u2019s lives, which very quickly can make someone else feel inadequate. it creates a mess of instigation and assumption between people every day. it also is a good source of cat memes. \u2014 DrLupo (@DrLupo) December 18, 2019 The Moroccan-Canadian responded, and said that part of the reason being on social media is so tiring is because you never know when you\u2019re going to stumble upon something you didn\u2019t want to see. \u201cMaybe that\u2019s what makes it so addicting,\u201d she said. \u201cYou don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll win by seeing a cat pic, or lose by seeing something that makes you feel bad about yourself.\u201d maybe that\u2019s what makes it so addicting ? kinda like gambling, you don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll win by seeing a cat pic or lose by seeing something that makes you feel bad about yourself. \u2014 pokimane (@pokimanelol) December 18, 2019 Team SoloMid star Ali \u2018Myth\u2019 Kabbani replied to this with some advice of his own, and echoed that it\u2019s easy for people to forget where they once were and how far they\u2019ve come since. \u201cReading a book right now that talks about how people unhealthily compare themselves to other people rather than to who they were yesterday,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s easy to forget where we were and how much progress we\u2019ve made.\u201d Reading a book right now, just finished up with a chapter that talks about how people unhealthily compare themselves to other people rather than comparing themselves to who they were yesterday. I think it\u2019s easy to forget where we were and how much progress we\u2019ve made. \u2764 \u2014 Myth ? (@TSM_Myth) December 18, 2019 Former Overwatch pro F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel also responded to Pokimane\u2019s original tweet, but with a different sentiment than his other fellow streamers. \u201cJUST TURN IT OFF LOOOOL,\u201d he tweeted sarcastically, seemingly referencing the common statement of \u2018why are you even on there\u2019 when people say they\u2019re tired of the internet. JUST TURN IT OFF LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL \u2014 xQc (@xQc) December 18, 2019 Pokimane has had a busy year in 2019, making her own clothing merch line, being nominated for Streamer of the Year at the Esports Awards in Arlington, Texas, and having her very own Youtooz figure produced.
