Fuslie Creates Emotional Diversion Before Switching Streaming Platforms
Popular content creator Fuslie recently made the decision to switch from Twitch to YouTube, and the transition was marked by a highly emotional stream. Many believed it would be her final stream on Twitch before moving to the new platform.
Emotional Outburst Turns Out to be a Diversion
However, the following day, Fuslie surprised her fans by going live on Twitch once again. This left some fans confused about her intentions. In her first YouTube stream, Fuslie revealed that the emotional outburst was actually a diversion tactic.
Fuslie Shares Detailed Explanation on YouTube Stream
To get a full understanding of Fuslie’s reasons, fans can watch about 16 minutes into her YouTube stream where she explains her plan for around six minutes.
According to Fuslie, the emotional display was meant to confuse her followers into thinking she was staying on Twitch, even though the crying was genuine.
Learning from Other Streamers
Prior to her departure from Twitch, Fuslie studied how other streamers who switched to YouTube handled their final streams. She was particularly impressed by Ludwig, Myth, and LilyPichu, who all displayed composure during their farewells.
She also acknowledged that a leak in the past year suggested she was moving to YouTube, but at that point, she hadn’t made a final decision. The leak, however, prevented her from surprising her audience with the move.
Creating a “Fake” Final Stream
As a result, Fuslie devised a plan for a “fake” final stream where she could express her emotions without revealing her true intentions. This allowed her to be open about her feelings while maintaining an element of surprise for her switch to YouTube.
Overall, Fuslie admitted that her strategy was somewhat selfish, as she felt she couldn’t hide her emotions or keep such a secret. She hoped that her diversion tactic caused some confusion among her viewers.
