Disguised Toast responds to backlash over \u201csupport small streamers\u201d tweet Jeremy \u201cDisguised Toast\u201d Wang is one of Twitch\u2019s top content creators, boasting over 1.2 million followers on the site \u2013 but he\u2019s encouraging his viewers to send their subscriptions to smaller streamers, instead. On November7, Wang announced that he\u2019d turned off all donations to his channel and asked his fans to send their $5 subscriptions to streamers with smaller audiences. \u201cAfter turning off donations on my stream, I\u2019m going to ask all my viewers to not subscribe and instead use that $5 and sub to a smaller streamer instead,\u201d he Tweeted. \u201cWhen you\u2019re watching the stream, you\u2019re already giving tons of support, so thank you.\u201d After turning off donations on my stream, I’m going to ask all my viewers to not Subscribe and instead use that $5 and sub to a smaller streamer instead. When you’re watching the stream, you’re already giving tons of support so thank you. Go make someone’s day with that sub! \u2014 Disguised Toast (@DisguisedToast) November 7, 2019 While it might seem that Wang\u2019s actions were ultimately for a good cause, not everyone was pleased with his statement, with critics taking to sites like Reddit to complain about the announcement. In fact, one critic accused the streamer of \u201cgrandstanding\u201d \u2013 an insult that Wang responded to during a broadcast the very next day. \u201cHow do I tell people to sub to smaller streamers without making a Tweet about it?\u201d he asked sarcastically. \u201c\u2026how do you do that quietly? How do you tell one million followers on Twitch and 200k followers on Twitter quietly? https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LivestreamFail\/comments\/dt2mcu\/disguised_toast_to_begin_discouraging_viewers_not\/That wasn\u2019t the end of the streamer\u2019s sarcasm: he went on to echo the sentiments of a commenter within the thread, who\u2019d joked that he should have \u201cprivately messaged each viewer individually.\u201d \u201cYou know what? That\u2019s what I should have done,\u201d Wang continued. \u201cChat, can you send me your emails, so I can email you individually, and to not make a big statement to cover all my bases at once?\u201d Although a tongue-in-cheek jab at the criticism, Wang\u2019s statement acts as an answer for those wondering why he\u2019d decided to Tweet his statement rather than merely announcing it on-stream \u2013 as a means to \u201ccover all his bases.\u201d While it\u2019s unclear exactly how much dough streamers like Disguised Toast actually earn, the streamer broke down some of his own numbers in a video last year- and its safe to say that he\u2019ll likely be fine without his donations, instead opting to help out fellow streamers in the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
