Twitch is one of the leading live streaming platforms with over a million streamers. But among this vast crowd, there are also big names like Pokimane, xQc, Disguised Toast, and Kai Cenat. Being an elite streamer on this platform has its own perks, like receiving special gifts for outstanding achievements.

The Twitch gifts that streamers receive might not be the same for everyone. However, the difference in gifts can sometimes disappoint fans, who may interpret it as a sign of bias from the platform. Like, Twitch advertised its queen Pokimane in Times Square, while the biggest streamer on their platform, Kai Cenat, received a pair of shoes.

Fans were not happy at the disparity of gifts both streamers received and made their reactions known.

The difference between Kai Cenat and Pokimane’s Twitch gift

The gifts that Pokimane and Kai Cenat received from Twitch for their significant achievements have recently resurfaced as a topic of argument among their fans. The former is an elite in the streaming world. Pokimane has nearly ten million fans, which she earned through years of hard work on the streaming site.

For becoming this huge name after so many years of hard work, Twitch celebrated the landmark by promoting her. But the scale of this promotion was on another level. They showcased a Pokimane animation video on the biggest screen at Time Square. But their treatment with Kai Cenat raised many eyebrows

The young Twitch streamer hosted a month-long subathon last month. This helped him get a lot of new subscribers, even becoming one of the most -subscribed streamers on the Amazon-owned streaming platform. To celebrate this achievement, Twitch set over purple-themed sneakers to Kai Cenat.

Undoubtedly, comparing both gifts would not please many fans, especially those of Cenat. After all, a promotional animation video at Time Square comes no way close to a pair of shoes. Further, the former Twitch star TimTheTatman and Ninja also got themselves an animated promotional video at Time Square.

How did fans react to these gifts?

Some fans remarked on how biased the purple platform is. But some fans also stated that Poki received the video for her years of hard work on Twitch. Meanwhile, Kai Cenat is still relatively new, having risen to prominence only a year ago. Some fans also brought up the topic of Kai’s recent Twitch ban.
