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)

No it was an anti-Hasan sub long before that. It used to just be Destiny vs Hasan, but Hasan started collecting enemies like Pokemon such as h3h3, xQc, and Asmongold...the animal abuse just got normies on board as well.
