It’s not every day that we see a streaming star like DrLupo, who has 4.5 million followers on Twitch, leave it all behind to sign an exclusive deal with another platform, in this case, YouTube Gaming. Of course, big names like Ninja and shroud did that in the past, moving to Mixer, Microsoft’s streaming platform, in 2019 before it was shut down in 2020. Ninja, for example, boasted over 13 million followers on Twitch prior to his move to Mixer, where he only reached the three million follower mark and

Multi-million-dollar businesses were forced to close and, for some time, the world simply stopped spinning. For many, the prospect of their favourite entertainment venues being closed and having to remain inside their home was too much and had consequences on their mental health. Things that were taken for granted, like going to the movies or the shopping mall, were soon
