Nishant "iFlicks" previously talked about the online hate that many BGMI streamers receive

A few weeks back, iFlicks spoke about the online hate that many Indian gaming streamers endure. When a fan asked iFlicks for his take on a star like Ghatak receiving unjust hatred despite his "great efforts for IGC," the streamer commented on how everyone is online these days and shares all their views.

These days, having a public profile almost always leads to troll attacks. Therefore, complaining about hate doesn't achieve anything when the account owners themselves decided to go public. No one can stop haters from hating and fans from sending their love.

Nishant "iFlicks" also said that someone like Ghatak would not take online hate and trolls seriously. Fans tend to take hate comments more seriously. He further gave the example of Naman "MortaL," who faced hate and abuse at one point in his career despite being a beloved creator.
