We have witnessed these kinds of collaborative videos in the past where famous celebrities make deals with companies. U.S senator Alexandria Ocasio Cortez collaborated with Twitch streamers on one occasion, so was Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park rock band streams music production with occasional gaming.

Giant companies like Facebook, Twitch etc would obviously want to attract more viewers on their platforms, and what is a better way to do it if not by cutting deals with famous and successful celebrities and internet personalities. The more audience they can hook, the better it is for their business. Facebook has made use of the same strategy while signing the deal with popular footballer, Neymar. The international sensation from Brazil has already started streaming on Facebook gaming from December 17th at 11 a.m.

While scrolling through popular subreddit r/LiveStreamFails looking for posts and clips to react to on his December 16 stream, xQc came across a post stating that Neymar had joined Facebook Gaming. His chat was mocking the move which ultimately made him share his own views.

“Guys I’m just gonna say, platform deals with celebrities are absolute dogsh*t, they’re just a joke,” said the streamer. “They don’t even do their contractual obligation: they don’t stream, they don’t show up, they barely give a sh*t.”

He also further explained how the celebrities take “a huge bag” that could go towards other streamers, and specifically mentioned that it wasn’t about him. In his eyes, if the streaming websites want to make the platform better, this isn’t the way. “They want to buy streamers to make the platform better,” he said. “They can actually make the platform better, but they lose a lot of money.”

Moreover, celebrities joining streaming platforms is quite the new trend. It seems a majority of viewers also enjoy while craving for content from their favorite celebrities. But as rightly pointed out by xQc if we want budding creators to flourish, we need to support more genuine talents.
