Pokimane, I am once again writing to you, because I am not writing to or contacting anyone else until you make a third post on Chirp Club, in addition to the two you have already made this year, that you don't delete. I don't think that you will read this. If people use the idea, maybe this site will become commonly known and you will discover this post and the previous one.
I am now stalking your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts, in addition to Twitch and Chirp Club.
This is a public medium. If I were still emailing you, this would be an email. I don't think this being public harms you, but it could embarrass me if anyone else reads this.
I have waited a long time to stalk all of your accounts because of what I feel is the perception that it's fine to waste time, and that demanding that someone not waste time is either not acceptable, or simply not likely to lead to any useful results. Like, a few thoughts that I had three days ago:
"Streaming while PvPing is subjecting yourself to the judgement of stupid people, who might not notice when bullying takes place"
"Dramas are more attractive than movies for romantic stories because the storyline extends for longer"
I think it's accurate to say that males are more likely to be rejected romantically because they are poor, than females. People might consider the ideal to be that people are treated the same regardless of their gender, but in practice, genders are treated differently.
Objectionable behavior from females: ignoring a male while being interested in him.
Objectionable behavior from males: being poor while being interested in a female?
I can only speculate about this. As a male, I can reach the conclusion that the first behavior is objectionable, because I object to it. It's likely that males also act in ways which, although they think it justified, deserve or receive criticism, and this was my guess as to what such a behavior might be.
I have been trying to change society such that males would not feel the need to act in this way: to express or admit interest in a female while the male is poor (or when he predicts that he will be poor). I don't think I can say that I observe anyone trying to cause change to make the first behavior unnecessary.
As a male, I don't try to defend males who exhibit the second behavior, even though I might benefit if acceptance of this behavior was widespread. I say that males who are poor, and suffer as a consequence, should make attempts to stop being poor. If they feel that the ways of becoming rich are unethical, whether fundamentally (like "being paid to bully poor people", or "being paid to lie") or situationally due to other people who are 'in line' needing money more, then they should support changes that would resolve this dilemma, i.e. by sharing this idea.
My most recent idea for a poll, which I might make myself if Reddit polls on desktop weren't disabled:
An unknown person makes a petition that explains how to fix problems in the world. The explanation is too short to answer all questions. How many signatures would you want the petition to get? 5, 100, 5k, 100k
I'm not sure if I emailed you about this one, from 22 Dec 2025:
Poll: "If you earned more money than most people you knew or worked with, would you find it hard to ask or fight for higher pay?"
- Yes, I do
- Yes, I would
- No
Maybe I'm not really justified including it, since it might sneakily be intended for anyone else who reads this post. I ask that no one who is not Pokimane make a poll with that question, and I will not explain why I think it's a useful question with relevance to this idea.

Update 25 Jan 2026, 01:01
I am not trying to get you to share this idea, nor do I expect you to. I just thought of a thing which I am randomly sharing on this post directed at you.
"A company contracts you to do 1 hour of work each week, but it pays you $300 per hour. It's your only source of income, despite hundreds of job applications. Other employees at the company are paid $50 per hour but work 40 hours per week. Would you accept a raise, to $500 per hour, even if it means other employees are paid less?"
"You are employed by a company that pays you $80 per hour. Other employees are paid $50 per hour. Would you accept a raise, to $100 per hour, even if it means other employees are paid less?"
*Also see, "what is 3 times 3 times 3". Some people might have no idea what is 50 times 40 unless they enter it onto a calculator, which they will be too lazy to do, so the first question might be better with the product in parentheses, or "and $2000 per week" instead of "but work 40 hours per week".
