    This streamer is dumb or just wanted to get known, probably both. How can he think he can improvise a giveaway like this with no security? There are numerous example of this kind of things ending up in injuries and deaths. Crowds are powerful and dangerous when not managed.

      He’s currently the top streamer on Twitch by subscriber count, and regularly draws high tens of thousands of concurrent live viewers. He’s “known”.

      From what I know about him, I’m pretty sure he just didn’t imagine that THIS MANY people would show up. No fucking way he did this for “clout” or to “flex his power and cause a riot” (like Fox News actually suggested). I wonder why they’d say that 🤦🏿‍♂️
