The 26-year-old further expressed that she likes to chat over streaming video games and her opinion on streaming these days. Poki continued, “I’ve been enjoying gaming more off-stream than on-stream, like just playing switch games and enjoying it the same way that I did when I was young, like 10 or 8 or fourteen, prior to it being like my job. But all in all, it feels like I just don’t really wanna participate in the rat race that is streaming, to be honest.”

Will Poki stream every day like in the past?

The Twitch streamer explained that she didn’t want to be part of this rat race. So, there is a possibility that she might not stream eight hours a day regularly. Even if she streams daily, she might do chilling with chat kind streams more than video game ones.
