Pokimane has now acknowledged that it was not appropriate to make jokes about financially struggling viewers, following criticism that arose during the debut of her Myna Cookies business.
In a nutshell, the popular Twitch personality introduced her cookie brand, Myna Cookies, in November 2023, and faced swift criticism from fans who deemed it overpriced almost right away. In response to the negative feedback, she labeled those complaining about the cost as “broke boys.
Many thought that Myna’s cookies were simply a rebranding effort from another company, but Pokimane swiftly debunked such speculations.
In a chat on February 13 with YouTubers Colin and Samir, Pokimane confessed that the joke was something she now feels remorseful about.
Pokimane talks about calling fans “broke”
Recognizing my tendency to react quickly and make humor that isn’t always appropriate, I realize now that I crossed the line with some of my remarks, and I should not have done so,” she acknowledged.
In Poki’s own words, “You know what? I must admit, the back-and-forth banter is something that shaped me into who I am today and played a significant role in my success. It’s all about how I can respond to people with wit or humor, hopefully keeping it engaging.
Occasionally, humor might fall flat, especially during product introductions. To put it bluntly, such moments aren’t the right time for jokes… It was quite an educational experience about entrepreneurship.

Pokimane elaborated that the sheer number of conversations about her on the internet can be “extremely intimidating,” leading her to feel uneasy whenever she observes online activity related to herself.
Apart from discussing the Myna Cookies launch, Pokimane also opened up about another topic during the podcast – her monthly expenses on a security team aimed at eliminating any artificial intelligence deepfakes of her that appear online, amounting to over $10,000.
