Pokimane Isn't Joining Facebook Gaming, Could Be YouTube

gamerant.com:

A few days ago, popular streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys revealed the shocking fact that her Twitch contract had ended after two years. Pokimane has been a huge star on the Twitch platform for quite some time, making her one of the most recognizable streamers associated with the service. She doesn’t say what’s next, but promised fans that they would see “the next chapter” on February 8.

Obviously, that isn’t far away, but many do believe she is leaving Twitch—after all, she would have likely just renewed the contract without much fanfare if she intended to stay. Not only is this a big shake-up in the streaming world, but it left many fans curious and speculating about what she would do or where she would go next. Everything from Facebook Gaming to YouTube Gaming has been speculated about by her fanbase.

Now, just a few days before the reveal of this “next chapter,” Pokimane appeared on a stream with Nezst. She says that’ll she give him a process of elimination by stating where she won’t go, referring to the discontinued Periscope, jokingly referring to the non-existent TikTok Gaming (even if gaming itself is popular on TikTok), and seriously mentioning Facebook Gaming. As such, this rules out one viable option for Pokimane as she moves forward.

Striking out Facebook Gaming really only leaves a couple of viable options for the streamer. The first, and now more likely, is YouTube Gaming, as she doesn't mention it in her process of elimination. Pokimane already has a YouTube account where she has posted videos in the past, with over 6.7 million subscribers. As such, it’s a reasonable destination for the streamer, and it’s not like she would be the first to leave for YouTube.
