In the world of streaming and content creation, Pokimane is a bright name. This 28-year-old Canadian-Moroccan streamer has bossed the social media field with her live streams, IRLs, Q&As, and reaction videos. She is best known for her hilarious live streams of League of Legends and Fortnite.
This content creator is currently the most followed female streamer in the world. She is so popular that people are bidding over $200,000 to play video games with her. However, that bidder wasn’t the owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
Mark Cuban Would Have Bid More to Play Video Games with Pokimane
In an unexpected appearance on Pokimane’s Twitch stream, Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks’ owner and billionaire investor, addressed speculation regarding a $200,000 bid made in his name at a charity auction. Cuban acknowledged that it wasn’t him, but the bid was for a gaming session with the well-known streamer.
Actor Mark Hamill and VTuber Sykkuno were also present during the stream. Cuban said, “It was insane, I would have paid any amount of money,” before jokingly stating, “You know it wasn’t me because it wasn’t high enough.”
A number of fraudulent bids, including the one in Cuban’s name, were later found to have been made using credit cards that had been stolen. The alleged bid was placed during CDawgVA’s annual charity auction.
VTuber Claudia Moneta placed the actual winning bid of $30,700 for a gaming session with Pokimane. During the event, she donated a total of $68,200. Cuban left open the prospect of bidding in subsequent auctions even though he didn’t do so this time.
Naturally, many of the more ridiculous bids for game time with Pokimane were found to be fraudulent after CDawgVA’s charity stream. Some were made in an attempt to donate up to $500,000 using credit cards that had been stolen.
Bernie Sanders Live Streams with Pokimane and Valkyrae
As the 2024 presidential contest nears its conclusion, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, 83, joins two of Twitch’s most prominent personalities to discuss politics on Tuesday night. As Democrats attempt to reach younger voters online, he stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris on the Amazon-owned platform, discussing topics ranging from climate change to the minimum wage with Pokimane and Valkyrae .
In a statement to The Washington Post, Sanders said, “The extreme right has made a successful effort to insert itself into online spaces and non-traditional forms of communication.” He also stated “We cannot cede that space. If the Democratic Party wants to hold onto the support of young Americans, it must address the issue of concern to them.”
At 7:30 p.m. ET, Anys and Hofstetter co-hosted the live stream of the interview. Together, they have more than 20 million Twitch followers, and the seasoned democratic socialist who is known for not putting up with stupidity will be answering their queries.
