xQc disagrees with Mizkif's claim about women on Twitch having a glass ceiling
A recent Mizkif livestream saw the streamer claim that women have it easier on Twitch, but Felix "xQc" Lengyel did not agree with it. The streamer responded by calling Mizkif's take half true and half disingenuous.
According to xQc, it's all about how women on Twitch create content - whether it's focused on entertainment, or about the parasocial appeal of giving attention to viewers. He said:
xQc doesn’t entirely disagree with Mizkif when it comes to women having it easier on Twitch; he concurs that women can have a glass ceiling on Twitch, but it’s not because they’re women.
It all comes down to the type of content they create. Sure, women on Twitch who focus on the parasocial aspect (attention-giving) can start off getting serious numbers, but Felix pointed out that this isn’t going to go quite as far on the platform in the long run, saying:
Ultimately, it can be easier for women to break through the 200-300 viewer mark, but not by creating parasocial content. The Canadian stated that as those streamers grow, they give less attention to viewers, which leads to fewer overall viewers.
The example the streamer gave was Pokimane, who did focus earlier on by giving attention to the viewers that came in. As time went on, though, her content changed and evolved. Felix said:
Pokimane, on the other hand, isn’t the best example when it comes to success on Twitch, as she’s one of the biggest names on the entire platform. It doesn’t change the streamer's point about creating better, more entertaining content going further than parasocial streaming.
