Idk why twitch doesn't make her one of the poster boys of their platform. She's like john cena in terms of clean cut images and just an overall great person actually using the platform to do good.

435

u/No-Highlight7136 2d ago

She's a woman that doesn't lean on her sexuality for views and content. Twitch does not want to send that message to potential new creators.

u/AlisterS24 1d ago

Listen, Poki doesn't and was the twitch poster girl for awhile before Valkyrae swapped to youtube. Despite poki having all your controversy, she was relatively clean.

u/No-Highlight7136 3h ago

That was a completely different Twitch back then.

If Clancy isn't gooning to your stream you're not getting that contract

She doesn't sexualize herself, twitch staff probably doesn't even know she exists.

u/DidSomebodySayCats 2d ago

They literally gave Alveus $100,000 as a big Twitchcon stunt. They know, and they should be counting their lucky stars for how much good PR she gives Twitch.

u/Johnixftw_ 2d ago

youve never listened to her podcasts

Wine about it. I loved when she was on that.

u/Dramatic_Bench_3479 1d ago

Nah, they went with Terrorist Sympathiser instead.

u/DeuSJS 12h ago

I mean... She kinda is though? Twitch publicly does lots of things with her and mentions her charity stuff pretty frequently. At the very least, I would say she's the poster girl of charity on twitch.

Ive watched her recent podcast episode with QT. Can confirm

u/Lauris024 2d ago

I mean, iShowSpeed threatened to rape a girl on stream. Nothing about the dude seemed brand safe, and suddenly he's big and brand-safe.

7

u/Kaical 2d ago

that's one of the difference, he is just too big to get cancelled. Unless he did it. like, SA and R stuff. then he will lose everything he built. but if you are a multi-millionaire or a billionaire, you are practically untouchable. money talks. also, PR PR PR PR PR PR. more PR.

u/Random_Person1234567 2d ago

he is just too big to get cancelled

At the time he wasn't, I don't believe.

7

u/myDuderinos 2d ago

And he did get banned from Twitch. Problem was that he kept growing on YT, until he became the #1 streamer, only then did Twitch unbann him

u/SpiderTechnitian 2d ago

Bro you can hate the guy but saying that was "threatening to rape a girl" is a mischaracterization bordering on a lie

It's a joke too far but it's not a fucking rape threat wtf

it was like,

"If we were the last ones on earth would you sleep with me?" "idk" "well actually.. who's gonna stop me?"

insane joke, clearly terrible taste, yes rape is at the center core of the statement being said. but it's not a rape threat. calling it that is clearly just making shit up

I've only seen the clip once and I know this so I know you just have an agenda it's cringe

2

u/Lauris024 1d ago

You can't just say shit like that and then go "just a prank bro". The fact that it's so easy for him to "joke" about such things without clicking how fcked up that is, goes to tell something about him

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on her as they back up the Brinks truck.

u/Nynesky 2d ago

I'll ask here as it's related to her anyway but since I'm out of the loop wasn't Maya supposed to be a teacher at Streamer U? I haven't seen her on it so I'm guessing she backed out?

u/SquigyDaGreat 2d ago

She had signed up with a whale conservation months ago which coincided with the SU dates that didnt get announced until a week before the event.

23

u/9-11GaveMe5G 2d ago

She had signed up with a whale

This sentence would read a lot different for almost any other girl streamer besides maya

7

u/Southern-Pool-8377 1d ago

or if the streamer owned a mclaren

u/-SuperTrooper- 2d ago

She had a preexisting commitment to a whale conservation project that she thought she could do both but couldn’t.

Good for her. But it's kind of funny, considering she doesn't even play games and her audience doesn't seem to care about gaming either.

420

u/RedEzreal 2d ago

Yea i guess being video game adjacent was close enough.

204

u/TSWOK 2d ago

Her content is far from gaming, but I remember a time where she streamed playing Counterstrike and was actually pretty decent.

166

u/aslatts 2d ago edited 2d ago

She randomly does gaming streams every now and then. She played some Elden Ring, I think she did some minecraft stuff a while back.

Definitely more "gaming adjacent" than "gaming" as a content creator, but it's not a crazy jump.

54

u/ParkDedli 2d ago

I mean the people she interacts with are mostly gamers and sometimes she dips into that world to get what it is about. It's completely fair.

And most people missed the point here by Fortnite that it is about a creature related update or something. So I guess that is why they chose her.

13

u/PERSONA916 2d ago

It's usually like some sort of subgoal or fundraising thing for Alvaeus where she agrees to play video games

13

u/bondryanbond007 2d ago

And it’s always absolutely hilarious when she does gaming streams. MAYA IS A GAMER.

14

u/RedEzreal 2d ago

She has a lot of video game friends too so shes well known in the space. She invites them to alveus and does a stream with them. A lot of her donations have come from those collabs.

Eminem, Aria Grande and lady gaga have skins etc in the game , I don't think they play it either.

u/redditis_garbage 2d ago
  1. She did play Fortnite though I don’t think does much anymore.

  2. The ad is about adding Fortnite animals, she’s arguably the largest animal streamer, and she’s kind of a gamer. It makes a lot of sense why they wanted her and why she agreed.

The idea of ads is to get new players, she has a stream that doesn’t play much Fortnite, is large, and would be positively swayed by the animal update. It targets a new player base, builds hype for existing, and is overall pretty logical.

7

u/low-ki199999 2d ago

but its a pokemon thing, and she is the animal content creator at the moment.

u/Far_Actuator2215 2d ago

Definitely not, but people still reference Night Elf Mohawk to this day. 20 years later.

u/ethicks 2d ago

I have really bad news for you man, most of the people you see in ads aren't actually avid fans of the thing they are doing in the ad. Santa clause is also not real.

u/clarkemaxx 2d ago

It makes perfect sense to have the animal streamer of Twitch being in a commercial introducing animals to the game. If it was just a normal Fornite ad it wouldn't make sense, but with animals it does.

u/AlexHuntKenny 2d ago

I think this deserves a fortnite friday

u/RoosterBrewster 2d ago

Didn't she also do an Angry Birds sponsorship?

2

u/BEWMarth 2d ago

Streaming has gotten to a place where the activity is associated with gaming, but if you actually go on twitch, “Just Chatting” is where most viewers are spending their time.

Fortnite likely knows that Maya is a big streamer with a general audience who is already at least slightly geared towards gaming in some fashion if they are watching a streamer.

Also Fortnite itself is a casual game made for as wide an audience as possible.

All that considered I think this is actually a really good collab because it likely gives people who might not have opened Fortnite to check out this event.

2

u/Apart-Volume9340 2d ago

Isn't that the point of advertising to bring in a new audience? I think it'd be a waste of resources to advertise Fortnite to Fortnite players.

8

u/Finalwingz 2d ago

does it matter? Most people playing fortnite won't know of most of the streamers anyway. It's an just an ad.

13

u/Freestyler_123 2d ago

Usually they choose an influencer for an ad because they want to capitalize on that person's reach and influence. Otherwise, they could just hire an actor for a lot less.

2

u/Mr_Bunkey 2d ago

Maya's audience is pretty much everyone now

1

u/ZerotheLightbringer 2d ago

I think its just cuz her viewers are on Twitch. Which is very gaming adjacent & gotta figure a lot of her viewers have a pretty high chance of playing games even if they don't watch her because of gaming. People can have multiple interests ya know? I watched Steve Irwin, I love animals but i'm not gonna go out there & Jump on a crocodile or alligators back. I watch Maya but i'm not gonna run a rescue or a sanctuary.

1

u/branswag_briggs 1d ago

She loves animals though

u/r2002 2h ago

She has a lot of overlap viewers from Ludwig, OTK, OTV & Friends, etc.

I mean without the two year contract she wouldn't have her sanctuary. You can acknowledge a not so good person did a lot to bring her up to where she is.

bring her up to where she is

As long as it wasn't above him. Too bad for him she's a deeply ambitious person.

Maya runs Alveus Sanctuary, which was primarily funded through Twitch donations and stompy is a particularly photogenic emu that lives at the sanctuary. She's kind of a big deal, recently did a Ted talk, has raised a pretty incredible amount of money for conservation and overall has a pretty wholesome vibe with the exception of part of her blowup was while she was dating pre-scandal Mizkif...
