LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Renowned Twitch and Kick streamer Felix Lengyel, better known as xQc, has found himself in the spotlight once again, this time in conjunction with Pokimane.

The spotlight follows Ludwig's recent comparison between xQc and Pokimane's fame, where Ludwig asserted that Pokimane is the most famous streamer.

These developments unfold against the backdrop of Pokimane grappling with the controversy surrounding her latest venture, Myna Snacks.

Since its inception, Pokimane's venture has been mired in disputes, with some alleging that the concept was copied from Midnight Mini Cookies by Toatzy.

In response, xQc remarked that he has weathered more controversies than Pokimane has encountered with her new business.

How did xQc react to Ludwig saying Pokimane is 'more famous' than him?

In a recent livestream, xQc offered his insights on a video produced by fellow streamer Ludwig Ahgren.

Ludwig, addressing the recent controversy surrounding Pokimane and her company, Myna Snacks, suggested that Pokimane faces heightened scrutiny due to her status as potentially the world's biggest streamer, surpassing even xQc.

Ludwig claimed, "Poki is a really really famous (streamer). Like, you cannot fathom how famous she is. 9.3 million followers on Twitch. I think outside of Ninja, she's probably the most famous streamer alive. I would argue, more famous than xQc. Maybe not after the recent drama but she definitely was."

Predictably, the streamer found this statement surprising. xQc does boast a larger following than her, but only on Twitch.

In response to the comparison, he remarked, "Nah, by ratio, of people who were exposed to the news, she got less flak for flexing on somebody broke as a millionaire in public than I did for flexing on another multi-millionaire (Ethan Klein) with a f**king watch in private, I flex on that b***h."

Internet reacts to xQc and Pokimane's fame

This online dispute has spilled onto the internet, where a Reddit user posted, "XQC doesn't believe that Pokimane is bigger than him," sparking numerous comments and a diverse array of perspectives.

A fan drew a comparison between xQc and Pokimane, stating, “xQc is more popular now than pokimane, but pokimane has been popular for far longer. Based on this, it's likely that more people know of pokimane than xQc. Google Trends indicates this also.”

Another commenter wrote, “If xqc stops streaming he has nothing else to carry him. Poki has already basically stopped streaming and has remained as or more relevant. Idk do the math.”

In a seemingly random comment, a third user shared, “Pokimane is way more famous among normies who don't watch Twitch. A lot of people have heard the name Pokimane and vaguely know that she's a youtube/twitch person, whereas way fewer will know that about xqc.”

Another person expressed confusion, “Idk why Juicers care so much about this. No one’s arguing that Pokimane has more fans or is a better streamer than XQC.”

The same person further explained, “She’s just more well known outside of the streaming universe. I think if you walk down the street and ask 100 normies to name 2 streamers, your Top 2 by a mile will be Ninja and Pokimane.”

A fifth commenter wrote, “I feel like Pokimane is more likely to be known by someone who doesn't know what twitch is, because she's branched into pop culture whereas xqc hasn't, at least not to the same degree she has.”

They further added, “I'd for sure agree that more people in the world have heard of Poki than have heard of xqc, despite xqc being much more popular in terms of stream viewers.”
