Pokimane explains why she wants to be a \u2018faceless\u2019 content creator Twitch: PokimaneImane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys admitted that if she could start her Twitch career all over again from scratch, she\u2019d be a faceless content creator because it would allow her to preserve her identity. Poki is a household name for anyone familiar with the streaming scene. She is one of the most-followed streamers on Twitch, and her popularity even saw her get handpicked for a cameo in the blockbuster hit Free Guy. However, her meteoric rise to success hasn\u2019t been all sunshine and rainbows. Not only has it taken a toll on her mental health and well-being throughout the years, but it\u2019s also put her on a collision course with haters and stalkers. Fortunately, she\u2019s in a good place now, and she revealed a big part of that is because she\u2019s able to keep her streamer identity and personal identity separate, particularly in terms of dealing with criticism and hate. On the topic of keeping her identities separate in an interview with Anthony Padilla, Poki said: \u201cThat has served me well because when people say things about Poki, I don\u2019t take it personally, and I don\u2019t think any creator should. \u201cThese people don\u2019t know you personally, so their comments, therefore, cannot be personal. However, that doesn\u2019t mean I won\u2019t consider what they say or take constructive criticism. But I at least compartmentalize it.\u201d Poki explained that it helps her avoid lying in bed thinking about something a generic hater said about her. Then, she dropped a bombshell that would have solved the problem even more. \u201cIf I could do it again, I would be faceless.\u201d She believes that being faceless would eradicate many of the negatives of streaming. After all, it\u2019s worked wonders for Corpse Husband, Dream, and countless VTubers without stunting their popularity and growth. Poki herself streamed as a VTuber during the medium\u2019s rise. The difference, though, was that she started streaming back in 2013 \u2014 a time when faceless content creation hadn\u2019t gained traction yet. Still, it\u2019s something she would have liked to do if she could turn back the clock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
