Indeed, many critics had emerged on the networks, particularly on X, deploring a lack of sorting among the streamers called for the event. The selection would thus have favored the number of subscribers and the audience at the expense of inappropriate remarks and problematic behavior of certain selected profiles. It remains to be seen whether the applications will be studied for the 9th edition…
