The co-founder of OfflineTV (OTV) elaborated:

"I don't know if this is controversial, but I'm in New York right now, and I've noticed that the hottest men, sorry, the most attractive men, all happen to be gay. Like, I'll meet a guy, I'll be like... and then I find out. And it's all of them! I don't know why. I don't know what's going on out there. But, to be honest, it's really not that bad because they go from potential prospect to potential best friend. And isn't that nice?"

Pokimane addresses the "most common assumptions" about her

Pokimane recently shared an Instagram Reel in which she addressed the "most common assumptions" about herself. In response to those who think that she "comes from money" and that she has "millions of dollars lying around," the 29-year-old stated:

"Millions of people have seen my face. But I don't feel like you really know me. So, let's address my most common assumptions, starting with the most popular one - people thinking I come from money or have millions of dollars lying around, especially since I did my gifting series. But the truth is, I'm an immigrant, and throughout my career, I've mainly focused on trying to set aside enough money to have a family in the future and to pay for my parents' retirement. But I'm such a workaholic, so I decided instead of chasing more money, I would use what I earn now to give back to my community, spoil my loved ones, and of course, treat myself sometimes."
