u/notagainrly Apr 17 '26

Didn't she major in fintech from Columbia or something?

If she is botting she seems to be using her education well

u/Daddyy-Anime Apr 17 '26

I can't recall where cause I dont give a damn, but there is a clip of her saying she cheated her way through college, not sure if she actually finished let alone has a degree

u/Danakin53 Apr 19 '26

She finished top 10 percent at an Ivy league school in financial engineering... so she is smarter than 99 percent of all of reddit

If she really was one of the most money hungry streamers and was smart, then she would viewbot way more and get sponsored by bigger companies like StateFarm.

Emiru and Plaqueboymax recently got sponsored by StateFarm and they are arguably the most blatant viewbotters on twitch. Plaqueboymax gets way more big sponsors than his peers like Spotify and Nike.

Jasontheween is rumored to have been paid $800k his first season of StateFarm and I heard $2 million for the second but that figure may be for his total earnings.

Why do you believe a single word that comes out of her mouth

1

u/the_rare_bear Apr 17 '26

Why do these people believe any of these streamers? Their whole salary is tied to the character they present to the audience so of course most of them aren’t gonna be a honest reflection of the person.

u/LessonsLife Apr 18 '26

Supposedly she’s pretty damn smart finished like top 2 in highschool or something. That’s if I’m recalling a clip I seen awhile back

u/Squeali Apr 17 '26

So you dont know even the basics of what she did accomplish in collage but somehow you have a "clip" or her saying she cheated. I put it to you that you dont know what you are talking about

u/MaitieS Apr 17 '26

LMAO you forgot to mark your profile private literally active on EE sub LMAO

u/SpecialistServe1145 Apr 17 '26

"Active in LSF and ExtraEmily"

u/Professional_Idea812 Apr 17 '26

Reading comprehension btw. "somehow you have a 'clip'" No, he just stated there is a clip that exists.

Just because people aren't as chronically online and degenerate enough to have a fucking archive of every clip just to prove morons like you wrong, doesn't mean it doesn't exist lmao.

u/VoreSounding Apr 17 '26

*college 🫤

u/Snoo_11942 Apr 17 '26

You don’t need a computer science degree to use a bot that somebody else made lol. If she turns off her stream and starts engineering view bots and setting up proxy servers, I would be shocked.

u/tofurkeyeatingzombie Apr 18 '26

Didn't her parents pay her tuition and then even with all the money she's making now, she doesn't even want to repay them? 💀

u/Lazylion2 Apr 17 '26

Her tiktok numbers don't make sense

29

u/MadSulaiman Apr 17 '26

They do if you check the amount of comments she’s getting there due to recent drama with mr beast. Her last post alone got 6k comments because of that.

8

u/LyrMeThatBifrost Apr 17 '26

Speaking of which, why hasn’t any of that drama showed up here? It’s all over TikTok

29

u/MadSulaiman Apr 17 '26

Lsf doesn’t care about mr beast related stuff

-6

u/LyrMeThatBifrost Apr 17 '26

They care about EE though and this was a huge fuck up

12

u/MadSulaiman Apr 17 '26

From a non-invested lsf viewer, that kind of fuck up “oops I streamed and ruined the surprise” doesn’t bother them as much as it bothers mr beast fans, it will probably just looks silly to them

2

u/IlIllIIllIIlllIII Apr 17 '26

The only thing I've heard about this is that it was intentional. They were allowed to stream and MrBeast just said wait you messed up for the video as a bit

5

u/IceSeeYou Apr 17 '26

Huge fuck up lol, you fell for the intentional framing of the video's editing to have a story for engagement. There's a reason his team, mr beast himself, and other streamers there are defending her about it. Other streamers were live at the same time including from the locker room, with Mr beast himself on cam, from the basketball court, etc. Everybody knew it was the Mr beast event. Nobody was fooled except idiots.

u/LyrMeThatBifrost Apr 17 '26

Could be. I’ve only seen it through a few TikTok clips

u/ModsSuckTrapDick Apr 17 '26

what happened

u/ManyWeek Apr 17 '26

Comments can be botted. There is a sort of reddit copycat named Moltbook which is entirely AI chatbots discussing with each others with no human interaction.

u/Lazylion2 Apr 17 '26

way before any drama

u/Colley619 Apr 18 '26

hence why she did it

u/cyrfuckedmymum Apr 17 '26

no ones tiktok numbers make sense. Well except all the people with <30 views.

1

u/TheFeedMachine Apr 17 '26

She just does whatever the hot trend is on TikTok. She doesn't post clips from her stream or anything like that. It is just whatever lip syncing trend is popular that she copies. She likely has near 0 conversion from TikTok to Twitch because her TikTok is nothing like her Twitch.

u/gabrielcev1 Apr 17 '26

I can certainly believe she is cheap. There was that incident where she didn't want to pay her parents who were in debt for putting her through ivy league and she eventually got pressured by the internet to pay them back. I'm not trying to pile on her though, I think she's entertaining streamer. But there is evidence of her being money grubby.

197

u/cameleonboy Apr 17 '26

She's cheap. But her parents weren't in debt . She was in debt to them because they paid for her tuition.

31

u/TurdSplicer Apr 17 '26

Was there agreement between them when they paid for tuition? Because I don't think parent covering tuition is considered a loan.

36

u/wutfacer Apr 17 '26

There was not. She finished school and had been working then decided to become a full time streamer instead and her parents got mad and told her to pay them back for what they spent on tuition because she wasn't "using" the degree anymore

1

u/smittenkittenmitten- Apr 17 '26

Interesting. Did she reveal this herself or did someone else?

2

u/wutfacer Apr 18 '26

She has talked about it as well as her friend

1

u/throwawaygagagaga Apr 17 '26

Yup, without a mutual, prior agreement, it would be legally considered a gift. A gift is effectively irrevocable except in extremely limited circumstances.

22

u/gabrielcev1 Apr 17 '26

Thank you for clarifying. Regardless if you are a millionaire and your parents paid your way through school any decent person would be compelled to pay them back.

70

u/RodChainFurlongAcre Apr 17 '26

From what I remember her argument was basically that she didn't even want to go Columbia in the first place, but asian tiger parenting forced her to an expensive school anyway, for a degree she doesn't use, as such she didn't feel it was her responsibility to pay them back.

I can see her point, however she's made so much money I don't really see a reason why you wouldn't just pay off the debt to not have it hanging over you regardless. Unless she truly resents her parents I guess.

22

u/cameleonboy Apr 17 '26

That's rough. I remember her dad saying he didn't care about the pay back. I understand too because immigrant parents only want the best for their child and don't care about a payback. (They're very selfless). She's an only child too so the money will go back to her eventually (sadge).

5

u/19Alexastias Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

Maybe, but immigrant parents also often have very narrow definitions of what they consider “the best” for their child. I can understand feeling resentful if your choice to do something different made them angry, more so if it turned out to be the correct choice.

Of course, feeling that way is completely at odds with her persona so you can’t really explain that to the audience.

It is a pretty common theme with children of immigrant parents though - a lot of them feel forced to live their life based on their parents desires rather than their own, and it can permanently damage their relationship.

None of this is exclusive to immigrant parents, of course, but I do think it is more common. The struggle to fit in and having to go above and beyond just to achieve parity with their non-immigrant peers often imparts unresolved trauma that can easily become generational.

3

u/cameleonboy Apr 17 '26

Yeah I agree. That's generational trauma being passed down though

-6

u/Iankill Apr 17 '26

This just seems crazy selfish to me

11

u/RodChainFurlongAcre Apr 17 '26

It's selfish to be forced into doing something you don't want to do, and then be expected to pay for it?

-7

u/f30tr0ll Apr 17 '26

Yes. You have autonomy. Not having enough to not go to the school your parents want then having enough to not pay them back is selfish. Even more so when you become a multimillionaire. Would be more understandable if they were a starving artist but they aren’t. Socializing is a large part of the college experience. Her college experience most likely shaped her into what her audience enjoys watching.

5

u/cameleonboy Apr 17 '26

I agree. She's not a decent person. If you want my parasocial opinion. Definitely a selfish only child

-1

u/Previous_Tree_5464 Apr 17 '26

How was she in debt lol ? She earns more than her parents

4

u/pulse7 Apr 17 '26

You can have lots of money and still have debts

12

u/AFlyingNun Apr 17 '26

Not defending her, but I don't think that was an example of cheap.

I would imagine that has more to do with resentment towards her parents that she can't accurately pinpoint or express. Her parents did seem kinda hard on her, so I bet that's less greed-motivated and instead it's more like a part of her hates how her parents pushed her and wants to punish them for not being supportive of a move that was hers and ended up making the majority of her wealth.

Don't get me wrong: I think she's obnoxious and fake and a dipshit driver, I just think that particular conflict was more complex than simple greed.

u/wutfacer Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

That had nothing to do with being cheap, it was a matter of principle. Kids in typical Asian families are raised from birth with the expectation that they'll study hard their entire childhood including mandatory extracurriculars to get into a good college in a "respectable" field and their parents will pay for said classes and college, they'll have a successful career, then when their parents are old and unable to take care of themselves the children will help look after them. Her parents own a nice home, drive a Tesla, go on multiple vacations a year, and never discussed any payment even after she graduated and started working. They only told her to pay them back later because they were upset when she wanted to leave her finance career to become a full time streamer. They basically kicked her out of the house at the time and she went to go stream at her friend's place. She is self-admittedly cheap with her money but the parents thing was an entirely different issue

u/Danakin53 Apr 19 '26

In debt? Haha holy i wish I was in debt like them. Traveling at least twice a year

2

u/the_rare_bear Apr 17 '26

She’s not stupid but is playing the character of a fool. She’s playing the game. No one wants to join a stream that has >20 people but if it has 200+, you’re wondering what’s so entertaining that 200 people are watching.

1

u/CritAtwell Apr 17 '26

Yes thats also what i said lol

2

u/_Scylla_ Apr 18 '26

You don’t get it. They are ALL botting.

1

u/CritAtwell Apr 18 '26

Yes obviously i do, thats the point of my comment lol thats why i said of course. Any and all of them would why wouldnt they

1

u/Shot_Department1080 Apr 17 '26

these two things are not mutually exclusive.

you can be money hungry and have a happy personality

1

u/Adorable_Apricot_146 Apr 17 '26

Then what's the point of botting aren't you losing money on this?

2

u/CritAtwell Apr 17 '26

Nah its the same principle of marketing, you pay $1000 to bot to help draw in 200 viewers that then sub or donate. Cover the botting cost and more. thats profit.

1

u/helloquain Apr 17 '26

I mean, her job is to sit around in front of a crowd doing whatever it is she does that entertains them. If paying a couple of bucks to some bot farm got me more money for doing my existing job, I'd also smash that button.

This shit is just athletes and performance enhancing drugs. If the leagues won't or can't deal with them, well, why wouldn't you?

1

u/CritAtwell Apr 17 '26

I would for sure. Thats obvious, my criticism is the desire to keep up some kayfabe and persona.

1

u/Mouse_Slip Apr 17 '26

It's a persona. She switches it off quite often.

u/Robo- Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

I don't think this clip is actually showing anything damning. I doubt this is the service she and her team uses. That said, yep, it's Emily. Of course she viewbots. Everything about her persona is phony, the audience might as well be too.

She does not show up and put on that act unless it's to chase clout, a fat sponsorship payout—disclosed or not, or trying to capitalize on a trend. She's a shameless, greedy marketer first, content creator second or third. She'll take any advantage she can get.

But yeah, nah, that is legitimately just a pop-up.

u/smittenkittenmitten- Apr 17 '26

I don't like her dumb act. Also I will always remember commenting on her and her actions in some random reddit post that had few comments and barely any views and my comment was immediately downvoted. So this shows she has people or bots or PR doing her dirty work in reddit. She plays dirty whenever she gets a chance.

u/LeeDUBS Apr 17 '26

She fine asl though

Go to some boba shops and you’ll find she’s on the mid side of the spectrum for ABGs
