Controversial streamer froagn has put out a video claiming she is facing great hardship in her ongoing attempt at being a full-time streamer, and fellow content creators Zach “Asmongold” Hoyt and Ethan Klein have been quick to react with blunt opinions on her claims.

Frogan is a controversial content creator who has been involved in drama with numerous other streamers, including Asmongold and Ethan Klein specifically. She has also been banned from Twitch for her unfiltered opinions, and she recently uploaded a video talking about financial hardships from streaming taking a toll on her mental and emotional well-being. But not everyone has received her claims and complaints with open arms.

frogan claims that she is barely making any money from streaming on Twitch and that the resulting hardships have become increasingly difficult for her to bear.

Twitch streamer frogan got emotional during a recent broadcast as she revealed to fans that she has lately been overwhelmed mentally by her streaming efforts. She claims that her streams have not been performing well for the past few months, and as content creation is her job, she isn’t making enough money, which is affecting her livelihood.

It’s worth noting that these latest revelations came after Kaceytron settled her lawsuit with Ethan Klein, and some have extrapolated that frogan may also lose her case and have to pay a large sum if she doesn’t settle with Ethan the way Kaceytron did.

Ethan Klein was quick to react to frogan’s emotional revelations, posting an Instagram story that offered little in the way of sympathy. Ethan instead made note of his having paid his online moderators “for years,” illustrating his financial success online and his willingness to share in that success with the team who assists him. That’s something some streamers, including frogan, have been accused of being unwilling to do.

Asmongold was also in his critical reaction to frogan, taking a dig at her having freshly done nails while complaining about struggling to make a basic living.

“Only in the United States can someone who has to react to YouTube videos cry about how difficult their life is,” Asmongold said.

The streaming community has been largely divided by the whole matter, with frogan’s fans defending her vigorously and asking others not to try to beat her while she’s down. Others have been more critical of the streaming claiming such hardship and emotional difficult just because she may not be able to work full-time as a streamer, similar to Asmongold. They acknowledge that the streamer was wrong in copyright infringing on Ethan Klein’s video, and claim that she is seeking to play the victim now that she realizes what she’s in for.
