Social media users are debating after Jay Cinco shared his thoughts on the current state of streaming, suggesting the industry may be losing momentum. His comments, particularly referencing Kai Cenats Streamer University, quickly sparked mixed reactions across platforms.
During a recent appearance on Raw Talk with Bradley Martyn, Jay Cinco shared his view of where the streaming industry currently stands. In a clip circulating online, Cinco said he feels the industry is dying, pointing to the impact of Streamer University as one reason. According to Cinco, the event led to a surge in viewership for many creators, which he believes may have skewed expectations and performance metrics.
Jay Cinco’s remarks quickly sparked backlash, with some users disagreeing with his take while others argued he may have been misunderstood. Social media users wasted no time sharing their thoughts in The Shade Room Teens’ comment section.

Instagram user @mariah.bland wrote, “Streamers now a days are not creative thats the issue. Kai has soo much creativity which brought the views, if streamers step outside the box then their numbers can be high too if thats the problem they having.”

Cinco’s pregnant girlfriend Lala Baptiste stepped into the comments to clarify Cincos intent, suggesting his words were taken out of context.
“Hes literally off wine and worded it very wrong anyone who knows him knows he def wasnt trying to discredit Streamer U,” she wrote. “He was talking about people expecting certain numbers because of that.”
Additionally, Jay Cinco too addressed the backlash himself, explaining that his comments were about perception, not against Kai Cenat.
“Not what I meant I meant it messed up the perception of views (doing good enough), not as in a bad thing for the streaming community, he wrote. I praise Streamer U all the time it changed lives. It just also made creators feel like they had to have crazy views overly love on my end, never my intentions.”
He ended his statement with an apology, adding that he may have misspoken.
