100 Thieves co-owner and the planet’s most popular female streamer, Valkyrae might back out from streaming. This narrative came forward in one of her recent streams. While casually talking to her audience, Valkyrae said she might consider quitting social media for good.

This statement from her is not surprising, as recently she received a lot of heat on social media. As a result of the Addison Rae x TommyInnit Dream SMP drama, Valkyrae came amidst the crossfire. The 29-year-old Youtuber had to face a great deal of online toxicity based on unnecessary rumors. She had already once discussed the issue with her fans live on stream, calling it ‘ridiculous’. While she had nothing to with removing TommyInnit from the Dream SMP, social media patrons thought otherwise.

So I just got on TikTok and I started seeing a bunch of Tiktoks . I’m seeing comments like ‘because of you, Addison is canceled, you should be canceled, not her.’ and ‘Don’t be shy, apologize, It was you, not Addison’.”

“I think I’m gonna pivot into business and investing probably , soon or eventually or whenever. Social media fame is not really fulfilling. It’s incredibly invasive. It has been on my mind a lot. Social media is so exposing, they’re always looking for the worst in you, like they want to find something bad about you and use it against you. It’s really scary.”

While there is no concrete news on that front anymore, Valkyrae’s statements led her to provide a statement on Twitter confirming that she still believes some people are genuine and possess the ability to keep the online forum clean.
