The world (and the concept, actually) of Twitch is definitely something you couldn’t explain to someone who has never opened the website. Seriously, try explaining to your parents the idea of paying to watch free content of a person reacting to other things. As part of this new kind of begging, streamers are willing to do all sorts of things to make ends meet (after, of course, giving half to the company itself). This is the case of Lacy, a ‘Fortnite’ player who, after what he did, is going to lose his hair.
Shaved and Shamed
Shaved and Betrayed: Lacy, a prominent ‘Fortnite’ player with 83,000 followers on Twitch, has been making waves in the streaming world. Currently in the midst of an 11-day Bitathon, where he continues to stream as long as viewers donate bits (which essentially means money). However, a week ago, on day 3, someone threw a curveball at him. Instead of a $10 subscription or a modest $100 prize, the viewer offered a whopping $25,092. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head down to the skin in an unusual form of gratitude.
Specifically, the amount totaled 251,092 bits. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head completely as a strange form of gratitude. However, in the very moment he did it, the user requested a refund for the donation. Ah, the old trick. It turns out it was all part of a well-planned troll: the user deactivated their Twitch account, blocked Lacy on Twitter, and even within ‘Fortnite’ itself. Moreover, apparently, this wasn’t the first time they had done something like this. Spoiler alert: No, Lacy’s hair hasn’t miraculously grown back with the money refund.
Now, Lacy has to keep playing knowing that he has been pranked in every possible way for a good number of days until the chat decides to stop giving him money. Frankly, we all wish we had the problem of earning too much in exchange for shaving our heads. My price starts at 1,500 euros.
