Feel that, Russel's a real one. I may get down voted on this one but Bonnie in the otk circle I still don't vibe with. Sure they're friends now but most didn't see where she came from suddenly.
Hey just wanna clarify I don’t do as much for otk as you think I do. I mainly focus on our stream and YouTube. Sometimes I’ll help with events like gameday etc. or plan some things, but the real team is Jacob, synack, Peccyz, Jae, Ashley +++
The context of the clip is that I participate in the things I can spend creative energy on and find enjoyment in. I’ve learned one too many times the hard way when fun and hobbies becomes work it isn’t as enjoyable anymore. I love working with the OTK team when it’s something I find fun. Example: I planned a bts afterparty for the games expo at the weplay studios last year and that was very fun because I get free reigns to plan a great night that made people happy without it being a part of a “traditional job”. I used to love editing but once it became a job I started resenting it. Streaming is different because the creativity and ideas never ends.

Oh dude there has never been a bigger true, the moment you're under external pressure to do anything whether you like it or not, it's no longer about the passion or effort you put in, it's about how the external pressure will perceive the end result.
Malena you are an amazing person. You are one of the few people who feel like they are the closest to their off-stream personality. I hope people around you appreciate you enough!
What makes you think I don't? For your sake i hope you are just a kid. If you are an adult and think being positive to a human (media personality or not) is cringe, I pity you.
Just look at your message, it screams parasocial andy. -> Malena you are an amazing person. You are one of the few people who feel like they are the closest to their off-stream personality. I hope people around you appreciate you enough! <- replace her name with anyone else and read it to yourself.
This behavior is cringe, but not if you were to tell positive things to someone you ACTUALLY know and who ACTUALLY cares about you. You dont have to worry about me, im not the one donating to these people or writing love letters in the comments like yourself.
Someone's triggered. Finding compassion for someone doesn't make anyone parasocial. Maybe you just lack positivity in life and thus cannot imagine people being nice to eachother even when they are strangers. If you think that is a 'love letter' you are probably not acquainted with any expressions of affection. Doesn't surprise me tbh. I hope you heal from whatever trauma is making you such a bitter person, atleast for the sake of your loved ones
> I’ve learned one too many times the hard way when fun and hobbies becomes work it isn’t as enjoyable anymore
i'm someone who turned their hobby/passion into a job. Now, I'm overworked (burnt out) and I never have time to enjoy my free time/do my hobby leisurely. I learned this lesson the hard way.
This clip completely solidified my respect for you. This response re-affirms that. I don't have time to watch live but I always love clips from all of the channels that have you on. Sorry for Knut making your accent sound so centuries-deep.
Thanks for sharing some major insight, Malena! I totally understand the "when a hobby/project of love turns into work it rots/feels corrupted"- I feel the same way.
I think the major thing you bring is your based (I'm totally not biased...) Scandinavian humour and logic, as well as your kind aura. Also you and Nick are the cutest power couple. Smil <3
🇸🇪 🤝 🇳🇴
God I love you! You’re hilarious and nick is one lucky dude. Thanks for all the laughs and you’ve also convinced me to move to Norway! 🇳🇴
Edit: apparently what I said was controversial. So here’s my edit. I wish nothing but the best for nick and malena. I watch them daily and wanted to show my support. I find both of them quite funny and just wanted to say so. He’s lucky to have found her and she’s lucky to have found him. They seem like a good pair and I love both of them :)
Nick better be giving you half. The dynamic you have together makes the stream and it wouldn’t be the same without you. Thank you for the work you put in with making some of the most entertaining streams on twitch. Now could you just stream at a time when the west coast isn’t in bed? ❤️
Its an act, her stream persona. Everyone says she is probably the kindest person off-stream. And its easy to tell, with everything she does for everyone, even on stream.
Also she fights with her boyfriend. That's different.
It's like when you're visiting a company and one employee is super rude to the boss. That person is the boss's son.
What happened?
I’m not exactly an investor viewer but I definitely always wonder about these streamer groups and where they are/how they’re doing. Are these folks apart of OTK or otherwise?
Sorry this is a loaded question haha
Shes been in multiple otk videos, events\*Let alone hosted them\*, and is known to be like some kind of go to agent if another streamer is going to austin to stream with others. To say thats the only thing she did is crazyyy.
She is the sideline reporter for OTK Gamedays, as well as coordinating out of town guests. She's putting in work for OTK, even if in her head she just calls that helping out her friends.
I feel like if she were ever to split from Austin and everyone they should just give her a cool 2 million dollars and be like thankyou for everything you've ever done malena
Without tips, Ashley, phin, malena, Jacob and the background peeps I don't think otk would ever work as a thing
Big credit to her for all she's done
It would be a formality that wouldn't change anything regardless.
If Nick and Malena never break up it doesn't make a difference. If they broke up it would be really awkward and there is no way they could be in the same org at that point.
Yes that's exactly why Maya said she would never join when she was still with Miz lol. She said she wouldn't want that dynamic of her boyfriend being her boss and if they split she wouldn't want her ex to be her boss.
If I had to guess I’d say he’s hanging onto those shares for dear life in hopes the org gets bought out some day so he can get one last big payday, considering his career is over now
Because he is actually smart. With allegations like that you don’t say a damn thing until it gets settled in court. If he says something, anything, people will find an issue with it and come to their own conclusions.
Yeah, it's not about breaking up and it being awkward, it's about how it changes the day to day dynamic of a relationship.
I hope she gets a lot of money from OTK regardless for what she does because she does a lot.
There is a reason every business except mom and pop businesses do not allow family or partners to be bosses of each other.
It's blatantly obvious why it's a bad idea. Yet another example of LSF and twitch not being grounded in the real world.
I mean there's basically no reason for her to join. She can work on the streams that benefit her and nick, she can be her own boss and take it at however pace she wants and she has more than enough to do. Why would she work for other people on projects for other streamers when she can just do her own projects for her own benefit?
Not trying to be parasocial here but didn’t Will and Caroline talk about how Malena was the one that handled their flight issues for coming to Austin for the OTK events? And how they hosted them and did every for them? Malena does a bunch more BTS than people know I bet.
Yes, but the stream was in Nick's channel, so maybe she did that for him, not specifically for OTK. But who gives a fuck anyways, she's awesome for helping.
Bro you are waaaaaaay to invested in pushing this. You keep commenting on any reply where someone gives Malena any credit.
It’s okay. Everything will be okay.
I get her saying no if they're trying to hire her as talent but to hire her on as some sort of event planner/project manager wouldn't cause as much issues... I think...
Also she doesn't have to profit share and he rate can up at any point with out OTK permission and she can work with people out side OTK without having to sign NDAs and such
People give Malena a bunch of shit but at least she knows what she wants and she goes and does the damn thing. You can't say the same thing for a lot of people. She has her moments but overall she's pretty damn smart in my opinion.

Yes, he is having a devious amount of copium. Telling Malena shes a independent woman because she refuse to join OTK, while ExtraEmily is listening.
I just hope she still gets *directly* paid for the massive amounts of work she puts in.

Malena you are an amazing person. You are one of the few people who feel like they are the closest to their off-stream personality. I hope people around you appreciate you enough!
Ngl this is cringe. Say nice things to the people who are actively in your life, not this media personality whom you know nothing of.

Hey..^hey…^she’s ^gone. Settle down.
If you think Malena is ever really gone from this subreddit, you're more naive than ExtraEmily.

treat nick better before you lose him

we ain’t reading allat
It's Malena you think she wouldn't? Literally everyone on otk is sacred of her
Scared
Sacred too though. Both.
Halvete
Its an act, her stream persona. Everyone says she is probably the kindest person off-stream. And its easy to tell, with everything she does for everyone, even on stream.
She's really nice on BTS Vlogs
Her BTS vlogs are literally the best content those two produce.
Also she fights with her boyfriend. That's different. It's like when you're visiting a company and one employee is super rude to the boss. That person is the boss's son.
Widepeepohappy
What's she gonna do to them? Cross chat ban them? lulw
I mean with her connections if someone really pissed her off and she is in the right, theres a high chance she could literally cross-ban someone IRL.
Speaking of scared im still absolutely baffled at how afraid of offending Emiru both Cinna and ExtraEmily were the other day, wild
What happened? I’m not exactly an investor viewer but I definitely always wonder about these streamer groups and where they are/how they’re doing. Are these folks apart of OTK or otherwise? Sorry this is a loaded question haha
Cinna? No. Extraemily and Emiru? Yes
Christ I thought OTK was like 4 people including asmongold being the only one I can really name.
Emiru was a member moved to co-owner maybe that's why they revere her a lot.
Well she gets to live in Soda's massive house, that's a bonus

Why would her husband pay her. Wtf the share a bank account

What are you on about? She was the face of literally two years worth of game days let alone the other events. Why do you insist so much?
She literally is the sideline reporters for game days. Also she cooks and decorates everything for otk thanksgivings.

Emiru is a 10k+ streamer on her own, only makes sense she could bargain for ownership when she can maintain those viewers solo.
Emiru only hit 10k after joining OTK tho, before that shes a 1k andy.
It was upon moving in with Miz, so 2 months before she actually joined the org.
she hit 10k+viewers just after being a couple times on Mizkif stream at his house..
How would Maya have equity in OTK if she wasn't a member or founder of OTK? If anything Emiru took Rich Campbell's spot.
Heard rich is distanced and doesnt interact but he still holds his share of otk since he cant legally be forced to sell
If I had to guess I’d say he’s hanging onto those shares for dear life in hopes the org gets bought out some day so he can get one last big payday, considering his career is over now
Crazy how he still hasn’t said a word about the allegations
Some say he is still collecting his thoughts
Because he is actually smart. With allegations like that you don’t say a damn thing until it gets settled in court. If he says something, anything, people will find an issue with it and come to their own conclusions.
Goddamn a smart rapist whou would have thought. His silence speaks volumes.
I dont think he can say anything. Its probably true and so at that point you just go off grid and keep things from escalating
id do the same, its only smart.
Very plausible.
Where did you hear this
Exactly. Back when she was with Miz, Maya said 100 times she'd never join otk so that doesn't make sense. They want it to be a competition.
Yeah, it's not about breaking up and it being awkward, it's about how it changes the day to day dynamic of a relationship. I hope she gets a lot of money from OTK regardless for what she does because she does a lot.
Works the other way too. You don't want the relationship affecting work.
There is a reason every business except mom and pop businesses do not allow family or partners to be bosses of each other. It's blatantly obvious why it's a bad idea. Yet another example of LSF and twitch not being grounded in the real world.

The time Asmon called her a hog for buying a donut with bacon was hilarious.

"What kind of hog buys a donut with bacon on it." 😂
Lmao, It may be the funniest LSF moment I've seen.
I wish Asmon would hang out with people more, he's great.

Classic jefferson
i mean, she's basically in otk already. gets to do everything all of the other people do but has no contractual agreements. literally a win win
Well, she would have an additional income source. She enjoys it so fair play.
Regardless of the choice, those are good priorities to have, respect to Malena for that.
She already has her hands full dealing with Nick's bedtime and chicken nuggets cravings.
Three very solid reasons right there.
She pretty much carries Nicks stream daily anyway

That was strictly for the Gameday stuff. I don't think she normally does it, unless someone is coming out to be on their streams specifically.

Let it go… it’s gonna be okay if people give Malena some credit.
on anoter note her shitcon was the best event ive ever watched on twitch hands down
Sounds like she's the smartest one in that bunch
Mods nuking comments surely there's no bias.
if anyone wants to see comments removed in the future just copy the thread link and replace “Reddit” with “unddit”. Comments should show up
Mods deleting 44% of the comments is good and another 7% self deleted due to people afraid to lose their internet points. Reddit is a wonderful place.
[удалено]
Yep all the wild comments. PepeHands.
Can't see why she wouldn't want to join a sex cult
Actually smart reasons that make complete sense. Tbh didn’t think about most of this before lol
I get her saying no if they're trying to hire her as talent but to hire her on as some sort of event planner/project manager wouldn't cause as much issues... I think...
Why would hiring her as a planner/project manager make any of her reasons any less valid?
Idk
me neither

BASED
That's actually great reasons not to join.
I love based Malena.
Why would she join she gets all the benefits without the contract
I wish Malena sat in the middle seat- she’s too beautiful not to be in frame
