PewDiePie seems affected by the fact that Twitch streamer payments got leaked

PewDiePie was live on stream when a viewer asked him if he had heard about the Twitch leak. The streamer responded in the affirmative, saying that he had just heard about it. However, he was unsure if he could speak about the same yet, saying:

"Is it unethical to talk about it, the Twitch leak?"

The streamer said that he was just wondering how he would feel if his payment was made public. However, adding that talk about streamer payments was not that uncommon and has been going on for ages now, he said:

"Trying to think what I would feel like if other people talked about how much I was making. People do it anyway, all the time. it doesn't really change anything."

The Twitch leak couldn't have happened at a worse time for the platform, as it is already struggling with streamers boycotting the platform to raise awareness about hate raids. Furthermore, Twitch's latest 'Boost this Stream' feature has also not been well-received by the community.

Many streamers such as Cloakzy, Aydan, xQc, and Pokimane have shared their reactions to the Twitch leak incident. It's made the purple platform a lot more vulnerable and solidified grounds for streamers to look for other platforms to shift to.
