Pokimane explains her biggest fear about taking breaks on Twitch YouTube: PokimaneAfter thinking about the \u201cintensive\u201d nature of being a streamer, Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys realized that the \u201cfear of falling off\u201d pressures her into streaming sometimes, and she wants to change that. Twitch stars like Pokimane are lucky to make a comfortable living doing what they love. However, it still requires a lot of time and commitment, which can take a toll on the individual, especially if they\u2019re feeling burnt out. Poki enjoyed some time off recently. But it got her thinking about the culture of streaming and how intensive it is, as well as her own struggles to find a healthy work-life balance, and she admitted it could lead to some changes. When talking about what it\u2019s like to take time off, she said, \u201cThere is always a little bit of that sentiment of like, should I stream? I\u2019m playing games off-stream, so should I stream that?\u201d And it gets worse when other streamers go live because she wonders if she should take advantage and join them. \u201cIt is just so hard to properly enjoy your time off without thinking that you should or could be doing more, especially with streaming,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s the one thing where there are just about no diminishing returns if you can stream 20 hours a day, every single day.\u201d Ludwig \u2018Ludwig\u2019 Ahgren\u2019s record-breaking subathon is a testament to that. But while that level of commitment is \u201cgood for your channel,\u201d she conceded it\u2019s not good for the streamer. \u201cIs it what you\u2019re going to be happy about on your deathbed years from now? Probably not.\u201d In the end, Poki concluded that \u201cviewership isn\u2019t the end-all-be-all of a good life\u201d and admitted she and other streamers often fall victim to \u201cfear of falling off\u201d and the \u201cdesire for more.\u201d And from now on, she wants to change that, which could mean more breaks. Poki\u2019s community is known for supporting her through thick and thin. So, if she does end up deciding to change her schedule to improve her work-life balance, they\u2019ll understand. And perhaps other streamers will follow suit, too. In the meantime, it\u2019s still business as usual for Twitch\u2019s most popular female streamer. At least until she makes a further announcement. But don\u2019t be surprised if you start seeing her stream less frequently than usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
