Valkyrae defends Sykkuno from backlash amid Twitch earnings leak YouTube: Valkyrae \/ Instagram: sykkuwuYouTube star Valkyrae came to fellow influencer Sykkuno\u2019s defense after he caught backlash over his alleged earnings amid Twitch\u2019s recent data breach. For those out of the loop, Twitch \u2014 one of the world\u2019s most popular broadcasting websites \u2014 was the victim of a massive data breach on October 6 that leaked such important details as streamers\u2019 passwords, upcoming projects from Amazon, and even streamers\u2019 earnings. This last detail has drawn major attention across social media, with netizens speaking out in outrage over the sheer amount of money some of the site\u2019s top broadcasters have been earning by streaming. However, many content creators have claimed that the figures we\u2019ve seen aren\u2019t totally accurate and don\u2019t factor in things like sponsorship deals, donations, merchandise sales, and other such ventures. https:\/\/twitter.com\/KnowS0mething\/status\/1445651544200781830?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1445651544200781830twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentsources-twitch-leak-severely-underestimates-earnings-for-biggest-streamers-1669624 Sykkuno faces backlash over leaked Twitch earnings This has only further fueled the fire of outrage against Twitch\u2019s top earners, prompting names like Hasan to trend across Twitter over the matter \u2014 but he\u2019s far from the only one getting flak right now. Sykkuno is also facing some backlash amid the information leak, but good friend and fellow broadcaster Valkyrae (who signed an exclusive streaming deal with YouTube last year) quickly came to his defense in a recent stream. Valkyrae comes to Sykkuno\u2019s defense after streamer gets hate over his earnings In her stream, Valkyrae called out users who were hating on Sykkuno due to a popular meme in his community. The meme stems from a childhood story where a leak accidentally ran his family\u2019s water bill up to an exorbitant amount, prompting him to joke about needing to stream in order to pay it off. That\u2019s not all; Sykkuno also spoke about his income during a broadcast, where he notably stated that he was making \u201cten times less money\u201d than he was at the height of Among Us\u2019s heyday when his popularity was at its peak. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m poor, but super unstable how much you make,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that\u2019s why I feel like streaming is difficult. Because I made ten times as much, back then. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m poor at all, but that\u2019s just how it is when you stream. Streamers aren\u2019t poor, but you don\u2019t know how long it\u2019s gonna last.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodlesspicy\/status\/1445866854593880065 Valkyrae wasn\u2019t amused by the internet\u2019s response to Sykkuno\u2019s comments and the backlash around his community\u2019s popular meme. \u201cI just want to say, if you are genuinely hating Sykkuno right now for the water bill meme, that\u2019s on you, alright?\u201d she clapped back. \u201cIsn\u2019t it obvious that he was trolling? He was trolling. There\u2019s actually people, he\u2019s trending right now, and people actually believe he\u2019s poor baiting.\u201d (Topic begins at 3:00) The leaked information claims that Sykkuno earned around $113,896 in September 2021 alone \u2014 although, again, this doesn\u2019t factor in other revenue sources. For now, it\u2019s unclear exactly how much any of these broadcasters are making\u2026 but it is clear that it\u2019s causing a ruckus, either way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
