Popular Streamer MoistCr1TiKaL Disables Donations, cites Economic concerns
Los Angeles, CA – In a surprising move, popular online personality MoistCr1TiKaL has deactivated all donation options on his streaming channels, urging viewers to prioritize their own financial stability instead. The decision comes as the creator, whose real name is Charlie White Jr., acknowledged his second channel was operating at a loss despite its ample viewership and a recent need to begin running advertisements.
MoistCr1TiKaL explained his reasoning during a recent stream, stating, “I think it is crucial you get your finances in a f**king Full Nelson and you just don’t let those puppies fly willy-nilly, donating clams to a goofball like me,” particularly given the current economic climate. He actively encouraged those with disposable income to contribute to charitable organizations, noting they “could be benefited greatly” from such donations.
The streamer admitted he had previously resisted removing the donation feature, hoping to provide value in exchange for contributions. However, he ultimately concluded that offering attention in return for money was “just not a good use of your money.” He stated, “I feel like this is long overdue, it’s something I should have done a while ago, but I had convinced myself I could deliver something of value to people that were paying.”
MoistCr1TiKaL, known for his commentary and reaction videos, has built a large following across platforms like YouTube and Twitch. His decision to forgo monetization has sparked discussion within the streaming community, raising questions about whether other creators might follow suit. The move signals a potential shift in creator-viewer dynamics,prioritizing financial responsibility over direct financial support.
