A Black Twitch streamer says he got thousands more views when he changed his avatar to a cartoon white man
"A Twitch streamer, who is Black, changed his avatar to a white man, and immediately saw a major bump in views.
Just_Relax_Kid, whose name is Zach, has been a Twitch creator for about nine years, and has 77,000 followers on his channel where he normally streams gaming content.
On December 2, Zach decided to replace his video feed with a cartoon avatar of a white man with a beard — a method used by virtual YouTubers, or VTubers, who prefer to stay anonymous.
According to Dexerto, Zach, on average, amasses around 300-800 views per stream. But after changing the image, he saw that number increase by at least three times. One stream received 1,600 views, another 7,900, and another over 22,000."
