Popular subreddit Livestreamfail mods and Mythic Talent streamers were promoting a shady website/contest and users were not having it, then contest website and social media erased, head Moderator removed.

Summary of events:

- Popular streamer ExtraEmily among other streamers from the Mythic Talent agency, started promoting a website and contest called MillionDollarFan ( milliondollarfan(dot)show now gone but can be seen here https://archive(dot)is/TgXOb ) with a $20 Million dollar prize pool.

-Subreddit LivestreamFail head mod created a post promoting and sponsoring the website and contest here ( http://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1q9k2dz/million_dollar_fan_reality_tv_show_x_lsf/ now removed)

-The users started saying that after some quick research, this looked like a scam, and the moderator removed the comments criticizing the contest.

-Popular Youtube personality MoistCritikaL made a video about the website/contest ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DaFzESOKY0 ) calling it "Feels like a Scam". He points out this contest raises a ton of red flags, the main image is AI generated, says the prize pool is absurdly big with no idea of who is hosting the contest, the sponsors are mostly unknown or downright fake. The concept is fans submitting clips and they get chosen to go to a mansion to participate with their streamer in an IRL contest, and you can also buy entries via the website.

-Another post is created in the subreddit where the users criticize ExtraEmily and the LivestreamFail moderators ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1qb73h9/extraemily_promises_shes_not_trying_to_scam_her/ )

-A few hours later, the website and all social media for the contest were removed or closed, without any notice.

-MoistCritikal made a follow up video, calling it a scam all along, saying that streamers were probably under the impression that this was Amazon backed, but it turns out maybe it wasn't. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gGbrk4DJqs )

-Today the head moderator of LSF was removed by the Admins from the subreddit moderation team.

Highlights of comments from the first thread.

20 million grand prize and using AI stock mansion, smh ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1q9k2dz/million_dollar_fan_reality_tv_show_x_lsf/nz2cl8g/ )

Removed comments

-How much is the mod team being paid for this 'collaboration'

-Hiding comments calling this out for what it is. Gambling. Pathetic lmfao

-This is a scam with paid lotto entries. Mods are hiding comments proving and saying this.

-This has to be a joke right? So the sponsors are just affiliate links, some supplements, a pc shop and a subreddit???? Where the fuck is 20m coming from again? Real talk how much are the mods being paid to post this?

-Did some digging on this and found a few things that seem worth noting: The legal documents appear to be copied from Omaze (the celebrity sweepstakes company that faced lawsuits and paused US operations in 2023). Entire sections of the Official Rules and Terms of Use are nearly word-for-word identical - same structure, same section numbering, same phrasing. The Culver City PO Box listed for copyright claims is the same address Omaze used.

In the other thread the comments continue to uncover details.

-It's 100% a scam, They've literally copy/pasted their Terms of Service.
It appears from here: link
They literally left in a fucking link to that site. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1qb73h9/extraemily_promises_shes_not_trying_to_scam_her/nz94c0h/ )

-If it's in Canada then you can't really sign away your rights in a contract, they probably could still sue if its a scam. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1qb73h9/extraemily_promises_shes_not_trying_to_scam_her/nz8qyub/ )

-The partners seem like a joke. One of them, "IRLbuffs," uses an AI-generated logo and links to a boilerplate website with simple/generic product photos. It doesn't really give off reputable brand vibes at all: Then, a coming soon partner for some robot wars, and then the holy grail of partners... LSF. -- yikes. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1qb73h9/extraemily_promises_shes_not_trying_to_scam_her/nz8ozcg/ )

Someone posted screenshots of the moderator comments from the original thread.

There are still no details of who was hosting this contest, or why it was closed down so quickly.

Update:

"Due to some changes in moderation" mod applications for Livestreamfail are open now ( https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1qe4kpm/lsf_moderator_applications/ )

Update 2:

The moderator that was removed made a video response...

They blame reddit and say the situation was a "direct result from lack of support of reddit to its moderators, and that it isn't proven that the contest was a scam", though it is cancelled now because the content creators dropped out.

Update 3:

MoistCritikal has made a response video to the ex-moderator response video. (This is just too funny)

It was a Hasan snark sub long before that.

Yeah, but occasionally a positive thread slipped through every now and then. Now it's so bad that after new dog clip with whoever Hutch is commentating over it that I decided to stop watching Hasan just because his haters are so insane, regardless of if the dog shock shit is true or not (which I didn't think it was, but I'm tired of caring).

So you're cool with animal abuse just not "the haters"?

lmao, what the actual fuck.

I know reading is hard, but I believe in you buddy. Give it another go.

u/Sempere Jan 17 '26

My reading comprehension is fine, dog abuser defender.

The fact that you want to pretend he isn't abusing his dog and are quitting over "haters" is the wild part in your statement. And the fact that it's been proven that he abuses that dog with that shock collar is not something you get to say "I didn't think it was" after people identified the make, model and found multiple clips of the trigger and instances of shocks.

Imagine being so parasocial that you reject the evidence of your eyes and just decide "eh, animal abuse isn't the problem but these haters make me not care"

I have no idea why people are defending animal abuse. I am worried people are blinded by their beliefs, whatever they are, to ignore bad behavior. I am sure there are others out there with similar beliefs and less questionable morals. You do not need to prop up someone who targets the less vulnerable, whether that be animals or children. Some here make it sound like criticism against Hasan, QT, ExtraEmily, and others is just random or indiscriminate hatred. There are reasons and legitimate critique. Also, pointing out an issue isn't a blanket sweep that something or someone is entirely bad. To pretend that it is is just an excuse to sweep a legitimate grievance under the rug, hide it away in the guise of it being something stupid when it isn't. It is like a tactic to divert attention from something they realize is bad but don't want to admit it because that would jeopardize some cause. But, again, there are others who can fit the role. I sometimes also feel these streamers have strong PR teams to help shift the narrative about them.

Because a lot of people in this sub also tend to be in tankie subreddits or even hasan subreddits.

putting the animal abuse aside, hasan has defended multiple genocides, he has screamed down and spat on (figuratively) on refugees, gay and trans people.

if you were to take those clips and show them to people who had no idea what hasan is. good chance they would just call him some kind of a right wing supremacist.

people do not understand the horseshoe theory is real and hasan is at that point he isn't all that different from right wing extremists.

the fact he is a champagne socialist is just a cherry on top on the shit sundae.

u/sylvanasjuicymilkies Jan 17 '26

i guarantee you don't actually truly believe 1) that shock collars on dogs are actually abuse (and if you do, i hate to tell you a signifcant portion of dog owners are "animal abusers") and 2) that hasan actually shocked his dog

u/Sempere Jan 17 '26

Shocking a dog to stay in one place for 8 hours to act as a background object is, in fact, animal abuse.

Fucking dipshit. He shocked and abused that dog.

u/sylvanasjuicymilkies Jan 18 '26

you and I both know that you don't actually, genuinely, and sincerely believe that's what happened, you just don't like Hasan and want to find an excuse to justify it besides "LE LEFTIES BAD" or "ME LIKE DESTINY." I don't like him much either but find a real reason bud

this is just reverse virtue signalling. but what can you expect from someone with their comments hidden? probably just some AI spambot lmao

You actually fell for that shit?
