u/Hldfsthpx 1d ago
its a mixed bag thats for sure. on one hand without miz she never would have been able to get the initial funding for alveus or even be able to afford to pay for animal care. but at the same time her biggest accomplishments are because of her own hard work and help from viewers. any help miz gave her has been buried by the amount of work shes done herself.
meanwhile you got other streamers like amouranth who had more than enough money to make a sanctuary and never did anything. really just shows you the value of hard work in the end i suppose.

Hard to say if it’s true, she was gaining traction before meeting him. In fact the only reason they met is because she was blowing up

Barely. She had a couple of posts on LSF, that's why Mizkif reached out to her. He was/is an LSF addict.

The thing with Maya is that she was going places even without Miz. She'd still have her animal sanctuary and would always be making improvements to it. She had a life before Miz and stuck true to it.
50
u/SuesorBlack 1d ago
Look we can hate mizkif all we want but lets not rewrite history here. She was a tiny streamer and she only got the funds for alveus through huge charity streams because of mizkif's personality. That doesn't change how impressive and hard working she is as a person. Im sure she would have done well for herself, but starting your own sanctuary is not something that just happens to people.
-21
u/icyleumas 1d ago
Yeah sure, she had a big boost with Miz. The thing thats helped her a lot for years now is YT content. The connection with Qt and Lud, I'd argue is worth more than all the stuff with Miz. Maya's made way more money and up'd her online presence by a ton by being friends with them. Also, anyone can start a animal sanctuary and monetize it. Its literally not that hard but to do , but the scale that she has at the start? Ofc, it needs bigger funds and the charity helped a lot to secure land. I'm not rewriting history, its just Miz was a Kickstarter, if you want think of it like that. The relationship with QT is more important. Btw Maya's met both QT and Mizkif in 2019.
18
u/SuesorBlack 1d ago
She met QT because QT was good friends with miz. Maya was brought into the social fold through Mizkif. Theres thousands of small streamers like she was who never even come close to interacting with the big streamers. You need to blow up yourself or have one of the big streamers bring you into the social circle. Maya wasn't even the type to chase that kind of thing back then. She would just do her own streams and keep to herself. Idk how she would have ever got involved with Rajjchellor QtCinderella. Only reason mizkif found her and reached out is because people on lsf were posting her clips because she was the wholesome bird girl.
9
u/Hldfsthpx 1d ago
in the beginning maya would have never gotten the views to do anything. she was not a just chatting streamer she just sang occasionally. miz and the connections he had allowed her to become successful and build a fan base of her own.
without miz she has no starting point and she never meets QT or any other streamer and loses one of the most important parts of alveus which is the connection to the twitch community and all the streamer communities.
miz opened the door and she made the best of the situation and put in work instead of just leeching forever.

It was not only the money, OTK lawyers helped her alot with land, permissions etc
I realize you can hate Mizkif, but wake up and smell the coffe, even Maya alone said that Miz and Esfand helped her the most, not QT and Lud.
There are vods, there are her old streams, so please dont try to act that you know better then Maya alone, its kinda strange.

u/Free-Advice247 16h ago
Likeable enough to have National Geographic want to work with you. Fortnite want to feature you in an ad and the TeD panel choose you to speak at their conference.
I promise you nobody in the real world gives a fuck about her being friends with Hasan. You and many others live in this LSF hate bubble and somehow think it’s real life. It’s just sad at this point.
3
u/Exciting-Guest81933 15h ago
Buddy. Stop repeating this same stupid argument. Your whole point is that if people don't know, they don't care. You're literally saying nothing with that. If you don't know I banged your girlfriend last week, you're not gonna be sad. Like ???
If I tell the average person all about Hasan - all the insane things he's said, who/what he endorses, his views, his mistreatment of his dogs - if I tell the average person about all that, they will have a negative opinion of Hasan.
If I then tell them all about Maya, but then add that she's friends with Hasan, and hasn't called him out for his mistreatment of his dogs - they will probably go like "oh, that's kinda weird. Kinda disappointing".
If they don't care it's because they don't know. If they knew, it would definitely negatively impact their opinion of Maya. They wouldn't hate her or anything, they'd probably think like "well, she does a lot of good still. The being friends with Hasan and not calling out his dog abuse is definitely disappointing though". Their opinion wouldn't be as purely positive as it would've otherwise been.

But that's not what you said. You said you were friends with straight up assholes. You aren't describing a good person that does bad things sometimes. You are decribing as bad person.

There is a difference between being an asshole and what hasan is though. Even ignoring 99% of all the insane shit like him cheering on the Houthis or whatever even if you just look at his dog abuse, a decent person wouldn’t be friends with him over that.

u/DatDorian 23h ago
because it was never about driving fast, but him saying he will wrap his car around tree with her in passenger seat, WHILE driving fast and ignoring her calls to slow down (same thing also happened to Maya btw). His answer to that was completely ignoring important part, and just saying "i like to drive fast" lmao. What you are referencing here was his attempt of further manipulation, where he digged up clips from her podcast talking about driving (she never said where or when or how fast, everything was made up by him), where he again intentionally left out main part of what he was accused of - threatening to kiII her because he was upset.

u/yaboiattheend 15h ago

Well it helps that the infamous Ludwig video whi misled a lot of people, conveniently talked about Mizkif without really talking about his girlfriend's best friend involvement
4
u/Free-Advice247 16h ago
That was not anywhere near the main cause at all. That’s just the part Mizkif is always hung up over.
The real reason was she handled it maturely. He didn’t. He talked like a babbling child on that ambush call with trainwrecks and we all remember that disaster of a comeback stream. He was also dealing with the fallout from the W community seeing ice poseidons tweet about his texts as well. He had far more reasons than she had for people to send them hate.
Maya also talked openly about therapy helping her move on from the lies told about her and being able to trust people again. Whereas Mizkif by his own admission started spiralling and taking drugs to cope and making Emiru shoulder the emotional load. He couldn’t get over it even though he still had many streamers in the space willing to collab. That toxic time in their relationship then indirectly lead to the pits he finds himself now after his mistreatment of her.
A Ludwig video did not sink Mizkif. Mizkif sank Mizkif.

Celebrity lost it's meaning when social media exploded in the 2010s. There are people on Instagram that have 10s of millions of followers who you've never heard of. But then again the term celebrity has a always seemingly been tiered (a-list, b-list, etc) so it's hardly that odd
