Social media users react to Twitch Influencer Sodapoppin stating that having children “seems like a massive time sink.”
On September 27, 2026, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin went live on the platform. While playing World of Warcraft, the influencer opened up about having children. He shared his thoughts on fellow streamers like Tyler1 and Xaryu having children while maintaining their streaming schedules. Furthermore, he stated that having children “seems like a massive time sink” and went on to say
“I don’t know how the other streamers do it, like, I don’t know how Tyler does it. I guess he’s got Macaiyla, but it’s like he sits there and streams for 8 hours a day, Xaryu as well. Seems like such a time sink having a child. It really does. I’m sure they’ll say it’s worth it, maybe it is. I don’t have kids, but god, it seems like a massive time sink. It’s crazy. Many sleepless nights, yeah. ‘Maybe if you’re explaining it as a time sink, maybe you shouldn’t have kids.’ No, you’re right, I definitely shouldn’t have kids right now. But if I were to change the mindset and be like, ‘You know what, it’s kids time.’”
A clip of the broadcast was shared by popular X user @Awk20000. Social media users shared their thoughts on influencer Sodapoppin calling it a “time sink.” They wrote:
“Brain rot. Having kids is the most beautiful, selfless thing you can do in your life,” stated X user @Quackbo1.
“The same way parents work 8+ hours a day and raise a family? how pampered are you?” asked @OldSlayerUSA on X.
“You don’t have to choose between kids and games if you play the games with the kids,” said X user @anthony_lipira.
“Its tough streaming when kids are around. Feels much better to just stream when theyre at school,” commented @funkusz on X.
“‘He streams 8 hours a day’ bro that’s just a normal job,” wrote X user @feeshflakes.
