Sodapoppin mocks Twitch\u2019s boost feature: \u201cNo one cares about small streamers\u201d Twitch: SodapoppinTwitch has come under fire after unveiling a new test the platform is running, allowing viewers to \u2018boost\u2019 channels by paying. Sodapoppin, one of Twitch\u2019s biggest stars, has mocked the controversial initiative, joking that \u2018no one cares about small streamers.\u2019 The initiative is a new way to use Twitch\u2019s Boost feature, allowing viewers to pay to recommend a streamer to others. The more that is paid, the more recommendations are sent out. The feature was widely criticized by streamers, both big and small, with some labeling it \u2018pay-to-win\u2019 and suggesting Twitch was essentially \u201cselling viewbots.\u201d xQc called the idea one of the worst ever, while others said it was exploitative. Chance \u2018Sodapoppin\u2019 Morris, who has over 3 million followers on Twitch and has been streaming there for over a decade, made light of the situation while poking fun at Twitch\u2019s intentions to \u2018boost\u2019 smaller streamers.
