Former reality TV star-turned-streamer, Phyna, has predicted that the emerging streaming industry in Nigeria will collapse soon.
Speaking during a recent livestream with Jeffrey Benson, Phyna claimed that Nigeria’s streaming boom won’t last because Nigerians patronise streamers, who “clip farm” and thrive on virality rather than solid niches and impact.
She said the situation has made a lot of streamers resort to pulling stunts and lying just to go viral and get streams.
She explained that she was also “crazy” when she started but decided to tone it down because she couldn’t keep up with the energy of her male counterparts.
“Streaming in Nigeria will soon collapse because Nigerians push streamers that clip farm, go crazy and tell lies just to entertain streams. I was crazy when I started but I decided to chill because I am a lady and I can’t keep up with that,” Phyna said.
The streamer urged her colleagues to create meaningful contents rather than chasing clout.
