Artesian Builds' CEO receives backlash for refusing giveaway winner for their follower count
A tweet of Artesian Builds’ CEO mocking a winner of a giveaway for their low number of followers has gone viral across social media. The CEO mocked and made fun of quite a few of the entries, which saw immediate backlash.
The company sponsors several large names in the streaming world, from Nickmercs, Mizkif, Sodapoppin, and the OTK orginzation. However, many have lost faith in the company overnight.
Twitch streamer Kiapiaa won the latest Artesian Builds PC giveaway for the month, but according to the streamer, the rules suddenly changed, and she wasn’t eligible to win. According to the CEO of the company, her follower count was under the threshold.
According to the streamer, she won fair and square, as the rules required the entrant to be an affiliate and have the Artesian panel in the Twitch 'About' section of the streamer. The CEO continued to belittle the streamer’s numbers, which she showed across several tweeted clips.
Artesian Builds’ Noah K. belittled the girl who won, saying that she didn’t have a single click on her affiliate box on Twitch. This led to a significant amount of backlash on social media.
One Redditor thought this was an incredibly smart way to kill brand integrity if the company had any to begin with, while other thought it was a very scummy way to treat the people that are affiliates of the company.
Another user thought the company should just say what they really mean - that they wanted free advertising. They also pointed out that the follower count shouldn’t matter, and the company should honor their giveaway.
Another user didn’t think business was going so well for the company if they were worried about getting returns off of free giveaways that were open to a majority of people.
