Mizkif reveals he said no to $300k NFT sponsorship to avoid hate on Reddit

During a November 5 livestream, Mizkif talked about his finances when he revealed to his viewers that he had recently turned down a $300k NFT sponsorship.

Mizkif’s viewers were left surprised. The streamer claimed that he simply does not want to be hated by Reddit’s Livestream Fail community:

"You want to know why? Because I didn't want to get hate on live stream fails. And now, I'm like, why the f*** am I such a p****? Like, why do I care? Why don't I just f***ing do it? What a waste.”

Mizkif compared his situation with that of his ex-girlfriend and fellow streamer Maya Higa. He claimed that people tend to hate creators regardless of what they do:

I'm like, “Oh, I want to be seen as the good guy.” Look at what that did for Maya! She literally is saving animals for f***ing decades and she got a hate thread. Does it really matter? Why the f*** did I just not take $300k and do an NFT sponsor and get all your social security numbers and f***ing Vamunos. I'm such a p****. I'm such a p****.

Hence, Mizkif appeared to regret his decision of not taking up the sponsorship and the money involved. Due to the extent of NFT-related scams, including the recent SquidGame NFT scam, influencers have come under scrutiny for being involved with such companies.
