Twitch streamer Pokimane is one of the most successful personalities in her field. However, it turns out that even with her level of success on Twitch and other streaming platforms, she isn't always having a ton of fun. In fact, Pokimane recently divulged that she's been feeling a bit "burnt out" in recent days and weeks.
Pokimane has always been a streamer that isn't afraid to speak her mind when she's not happy about something. In fact, when Twitch was going through its "hot tub stream" controversy, she was one of the loudest voices criticizing the platform for how it handled the situation and doled out punishment. This time around, she isn't blaming the streaming service or anyone else for how she's feeling but she's still feeling a bit of frustration in her career of choice.

Appearing in a video on her alternate channel on YouTube Pokimane spoke about a wide number of subjects, including her recent feelings of burnout. At one point during that video, she proclaimed that she knew her heart and she knew how she felt. She added that she didn't want to admit it, but she was feeling burnt out recently.
Explaining exactly what she meant, the uber-popular Twitch streamer talked about how she just wasn't having much fun online these days. The personality was also careful to state that she knew that she was grateful for what she is able to do as a professional. At the same time, she doesn't believe streaming is as rewarding as it once was for her.
Pokimane is far from the first Twitch streamer to voice that they aren't always enjoying what they are doing. In fact, should she decide that the burnout is going to lead her to take a break, she'd be joining a roster of some of the biggest personalities in her industry. Just a few months back, Dr. Disrespect was the latest streamer to hint that a break from playing and streaming could be in the cards.
Other streamers have gone back and forth about whether or not they will continue streaming or take a break. Some, like Valkyrae and Corpse Husband have even gone so far as to say that the breaks could be permanent. While neither has quit the business altogether, it's become clear that appearing every day on Twitch or other platforms on a daily basis can be quite draining for those on camera.
