Thomas “Sykkuno” earlier today revealed why he does not encourage his fans and viewers to subscribe to his Twitch channel. According to the internet star, he felt weird about taking money from his viewers. Instead, he would accept the money he receives from his sponsors, who actively support his channel.

Last month, the streamer fired shots at game developers who were focused on marketing as he was preparing for his sponsored stream for Genshin Impact. Sykkuno talked about his subscribers and sponsored streaming content back then, but he spoke more during the above stream.

Thomas had just begun his daily livestream and was thirty minutes into it, catching up with his stream and talking about everyday life events. He spoke about his channel moderators and how it isn’t easy to find good moderators.

He concluded his statement by saying that audiences can support him in the most optimized manner by just watching him whenever he goes live on Twitch and does sponsor content. That way, his viewers should support the sponsor:
