Why did xQc defend Twitch during its major downfall?
Felix started his Twitch career in 2016 when he was just 19. Since then, he rose to fame, showcasing multiple games, IRL streams, guests, and more. But what made him one of the generous creators was his approach toward the platform. Whenever xQc had a problem, he shared his feelings on stream, hoping for the Twitch devs to hear it out. And without a response at times, he did not stop his habit as he knew how much the platform valued him.

So, when his fellow creators recently blamed Twitch for being a bad streaming platform and kept calling it out, he couldn’t take it. Not that he didn’t agree with them as Twitch did have rigorous policies. But what affected him was streamers not voicing and channeling their problems rightly; in a way that could reach out to the devs.

“People say Twitch is out of touch because it’s easy to preach to the choir and get free chat approval because people are already mad at Twitch for a lot of things. And then, what would fix this if they’re out of touch? It would be feedback from creators. Every time that Twitch asks for feedback, or gives meetings for feedback, nobody says s*it, nobody shows up, and people don’t attend. It’s insane,” xQc said.
Continuing his statement, he also stressed the fact that the streaming website invites all creators for TwitchCon, and still only a handful show up. So, if they want things to change, they need to speak up, because he believes, Twitch is all ears!
