Sykkuno believes that his fellow ‘amigop’ streamer Rachell Hofstetter AKA ‘Valkyrae’ will never be banned from YouTube because she is the face of YouTube Gaming.
Valkyrae has established herself as one of YouTube’s most popular streamers, with 3.66 million subscribers on the Google-owned platform.
Despite this, Valkyrae has managed to avoid being banned from YouTube since she began streaming exclusively for the platform in 2020, unlike many of her peers.
Valkyrae, on the other hand, could never lose her popularity, according to her friend Sykkuno. Not to mention her contributions to the platform’s growth over the years.
During their livestreams, Valkyrae and Sykkuno are frequently seen playing video games such as ‘Among Us.’ On May 27, the two teamed up for another game of ‘Valorant’ until Valkyrae felt like playing something a little more sinister.
She considered starting to play the online horror game ‘Slenderman: Hentai Edition,’ but she was afraid of risking a YouTube ban. Yet, as one of YouTube’s most well-known gamers, Sykkuno assured her that it was highly unlikely.
Valkyrae couldn’t find the Hentai Edition of ‘SlenderMan’ to play during her stream in the end. Any concerns about an impending ban were quickly dispelled when she returned to the original base game.
However, Sykkuno’s comments sparked a debate among YouTube Gaming fans about who should be considered “the face.” Especially when you’re up against big names like Dr Disrespect, Ludwig, and TimTheTatman.
Sykkuno’s claims may have displeased Valkyrae. She was, however, one of the first and most prolific Twitch to YouTube Gaming streamers, with many others following suit, including Sykkuno himself.
