Time and time again, there have been issues regarding influencers and Twitch streamers to promote and hype up a product. The most recent example can be the whole cryptocurrency scam, of which the influencers and streamers from the FaZe Clan played a major part.
Amidst the whole "pump and dump" scheme and controversy going on, another Twitch streamer has come under the limelight with her promotion of an Android phone. It may not be on the same level as that of the FaZe crypto scam, but Twitch streamer Neekolul has become the target of trolls for her recent promotion.
Neekolul is a popular streamer, and this is not the first time she has gotten stuck on the wrong side of fame. Previously, she received a temporary ban from Twitch over wrongful copyright allegations.

Twitch streamer Neekolul gets ridiculed for tweeting "Team Android :D"... from an iPhone
However, the recent ordeal is over the fact that Neekolul had been pushing a new Android phone from the house of OnePlus, while she uses an iPhone herself. Although this might seem quite trivial, she must not be the only influencer who does not use the products they push.

However, the kicker is that she apparently seemed impervious to the irony at first. The Twitter attack landed on her after promoting the collaboration between 100 Thieves, one of the biggest Esports organizations, and Gucci.
While this may not be as harmful as the cryptocurrency pump and dump scheme, and the allegations are relatively juvenile, it is true nonetheless.
These trolls may have more to do with the irony than an actual concern that these promotions may affect impressionable fans and encourage them towards wanton purchases. However, in a turn of events, this user got blocked from Neekolul's social media.
After all, it is basically part of the job of influencers to promote various products and partake in collaborations. At best, this entire situation gave rise to one or two good memes.
