In response to the Twitch CEO's opinions, Asmongold said:

"You know who's two guys that I think really deserve a lot more respect? Number one is Ice Poseidon, and number two is Adin Ross. I think Adin walked, so a lot of these guys can run. And I think Ice got banned, so a lot of these guys could get banned. I do!"

The co-founder of OTK (One True King) then explained why he believed Adin Ross and Ice Poseidon "really deserve a lot more respect":

"I think both of those guys really put in... like, Adin was the first guy who really brought in a Gen Z audience of people onto Twitch and created the W Community. I think Adin was the progenitor of the W Community. That being said, also, Ice was the innovator of IRL. Ice was the reason why IRL was made.

"Reckful, too, right? Reckful was the reason why streaming is even a career. Reckful was the one who, by the way, the reason why you guys are looking at me on this camera is because of Reckful. In 2017 or something like that, I don't remember exactly when, I asked Reckful for his recommendation because I thought his camera was the best camera that I had seen. And he told me to buy the camera that I am still using right now to this day. Yeah, he pioneered donations. He was the one that changed streaming from a hobby to a career for a lot of people."
