PokerTube, which is like PornTube, but about poker, and not porn, recently published an article titled PokerStars Sponsorship Changed: And For The Worst! The author claimed that back in the day online poker rooms sponsored players because they were one of the elite, with no gimmicks whatsoever, and that these days, PokerStars are hiring Twitch streamers as the new figureheads, and it’s no secret, nor an insult to point out, that most streamers are not at a level that is truly inspirational to ambitious new players.
The poker world has changed.
