Valkyrae reveals she has re-signed with YouTube despite problems with the platform ValkyraeYouTube\u2019s streaming queen Valkyrae has re-signed with the platform in an exclusive deal, securing what was no doubt another substantial contract following her previous move from Twitch \u2013 but has admitted the site is not \u201cperfect\u201d. 100 Thieves member Rachael \u2018Valkyrae\u2018 Hofstetter initially joined YouTube in 2020, leaving behind her Twitch channel. Although seen as a risk at the time, she was among a handful of streamers who helped elevate YouTube\u2019s role in streaming. She then re-signed with the platform in early 2022, committing her future to YouTube until at least 2024. With that deal now coming to a close, she has confirmed that no changes are afoot, despite YouTube not being perfect, and has re-signed once again. Valkyrae sticks with YouTube over Twitch and Kick Without a major announcement, Valkyrae simply notified her fans of the new deal during one of her streams. \u201cYou know how before we would do like YouTube announcements and stuff, and it would be all crazy? I was like, \u2018I\u2019m just going to tell them\u2019. Yeah, I\u2019ve re-signed to YouTube,\u201d the streamer said. But, she quickly added, \u201cAlthough it\u2019s not perfect \u2013 I don\u2019t think any platform is perfect \u2013 I feel pretty comfortable and happy. And they do \u2018deal\u2019 with me,\u201d she laughed. Valkyrae didn\u2019t go into any further detail on the deal, such as it\u2019s length, and certainly not what kind of financial deal was struck. But, given her popularity on the platform, which has remained steady if stagnant for years now (her subscriber count has only increased by 200,000 in 2023, a small increase compared to previous years), the deal will no doubt be a lucrative one. Other YouTube streamers may also be in negotiations for new deals as the year ticks over, if they have not signed them in the background already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
