The internet reacts to Pokimane's Twitch announcement and car giveaway

On the promised day of the "next chapter," Pokimane ended up announcing that she'll be staying with Twitch as a platform and will be giving away a car to celebrate. Instead of choosing between a red or purple car, she'll be giving one away, referencing Ludwig's YouTube streaming announcement video.

Fellow streamers and friends gave their reactions to the announcement, including Twitch's Twitter account.

Fans on Twitter jokingly showed off pictures of destroyed cars to express how they needed a new one, with some even using the same photos to drive home the point that these were jokes.

Some members of the subreddit r/LivestreamFail shared that they weren't shocked by the news that she was staying with Twitch, saying that this was just to bring more attention to herself.

It seems the LSF community saw this coming, and are unimpressed by the "announcement," while the Twitter community is more focused on the car giveaway. The dichotomy between the users on the two media platforms is very easy to see, making it very clear which user-base holds what opinion.

LSF seems to be more tired of hearing about her after the large string of drama surrounding her just a short while ago, while Twitter has a majority of fans commenting on the tweet.

While the announcement was widely expected to be a continuation of her Twitch residency, it seems most are pleasantly shocked by the car giveaway.
