Polina Kane lives in Toronto and writes in English and French. She did a year of part-time streaming on a couple of platforms before she realised her real interest was in how everyone else's gift economy worked — who tips, who's tipped, what a $5 versus a $50 sticker actually moves on screen. Her VGTopup beat is broad on purpose: live-streaming and creator apps, mobile and PC games, esports prize chatter, and the recharge mechanics that quietly tie all of them together.
