“I Was Thinking About the Bag” – YouTube Streaming Queen Valkyrae Reveals Her Reason for Quitting Twitch

Livestreaming has become mainstream entertainment, and many try their luck in this field. The biggest livestreaming platforms currently are YouTube and Twitch. There has been a rivalry between the two, as both try to lure in the best streamer from each other’s platforms. Streamers like Dr Disrespect, IShowSpeed, and Valkyrae have changed the trains.

Rachell Hofstetter, better known as Valkyrae, is one of the top female streamers. She rose to popularity in 2019 because of her video game content. But the following year, she shocked everyone by quitting Twitch and signing an exclusive contract with YouTube. Now Hofstetter streams on the red platform and has become the top female YouTube streamer.

Valkyrae reveals why she joined YouTube

It’s been over two years, but her fans still wonder why the 30-year-old quit Twitch to join YouTube. After all, many of her friends still streamed on the purple platform, and she could have been a big Twitch streamer too. But in a recent stream, she revealed the reason behind joining YouTube.

On a live stream, someone in chat questioned, “Why don’t you stream on Twitch?” Valkyrae quickly answered, “I have a contract with YouTube.” But she soon gave a sly hint that the transition might happen because of a better offer from YouTube, as she said, “I’m sorry, I was thinking about the bag.”

However, this isn’t the first time Rae talking about her reasons for leaving YouTube. She released a video two years ago explaining her reason for taking the offer was the lucrative deal. She even revealed her mother lost her job, and she was dependent on her, so she went for the option, which provided her with more financial security.

Rae says her net worth on Google is incorrect

Being a successful YouTube streamer, one question that Valkyrae has to face every time is about her net worth. A few months ago, she did a video where some asked her about her net worth. So, the 30-year-old remembered googling this info in a previous video, where she found it was 1.5 million, which was incorrect.

So, she again googled her net worth and claimed she couldn’t find an accurate answer on the search engine. She finally concluded, “Just know that the ones on google are not accurate.” But we can assume her net worth is above 1.5 million for sure. She has multiple brand deals and is one of the biggest streamers on the platform.
