However, the massive rise of streams dedicated to watching top talents wager hundreds of thousands of dollars has been met with plenty of backlash from viewers and even other creators. Top streamers like Asmongold and Mizkif have spoken out against the rise of gambling-focused content with Mizkif even turning down a major gambling sponsorship.
