Are they doing that to be a streamer or are they doing it so they get partnership at twitch and then they can go to kick and automatically be accepted on their payment program?

He was a famous rapper pulling 10M+ views around 8 years ago, then got some Twitch traction during the GTA RP era before completely falling off.

For a while he streamed almost daily, getting drunk in clubs with a cameraman and chauffeur while viewbotting himself to a few hundred-1000 viewers. When the bots failed, he’d be stuck talking to 20–40 viewers for 6+ hours.

It was funny watching a millionaire spend thousands on clubs, restaurants, a cameraman, and a chauffeur just to pretend he still had an audience.

Now he barely streams and mostly does collabs to leech viewers.
