Fans outraged after Boogie2988 \u201cbegs\u201d for money following $100k Tesla purchase Boogie2988, Twitch \/ raneko, FlikrControversial YouTuber and Twitch streamer Steven \u2018Boogie2988\u2019 Williams is known both for his popular videos as well as the multiple scandals surrounding his career as a content creator \u2013 one of which is stirring outrage amongst his fanbase, following his purchase of a $100,000 Tesla Model S. Boogie2988 went live in a broadcast in early July, where he explained the story behind his purchase of the Tesla, which he\u2019d worriedly Tweeted about on June 28 after realizing he could \u201cbarely afford\u201d the car. However, Boogie decided to use the Tesla as a confidence-builder, aiming to create better content to earn more revenue \u2013 but some fans weren\u2019t happy with his Tweet on the subject. So\u2026.. Sitting here realizing I bought a car I can barely afford.You would think my anxiety would be going nuts. It isnt. I am feeling confident that I can work harder every day and use that car and debt as an inspiration to create better content. Confidence feels good. \u2014 Boogie2988 :soon: vidcon! (@Boogie2988) June 28, 2019 Some fans accused Boogie of \u201cbegging\u201d for cash from his viewerbase, which he sarcastically confirmed, going on to deny having \u201cbegged\u201d in light of his massive debt. \u201cThe answer is yes,\u201d he jokingly said of the scandal. \u201cGive me some money. Also, no. I just realized when I got home, the car was fucking expensive.\u201d Despite his explanation, critics continue to lash out at the YouTuber, with some angry commenters even doing the math to speculate what Boogie can and cannot afford. \u201c\u2026he\u2019s making at least $88k per year from Youtube alone,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cSponsors appear to be the lion\u2019s share, plus Twitch revenue, donos, and Patreon\u2026 I would guess, conservatively, $250k-300k per year. ..Guy can easily afford this car.\u201d https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LivestreamFail\/comments\/c87jia\/boogie2988_on_how_a_car_salesman_talked_him_into\/\u201c\u2026\u2019Don\u2019t be jealous. You too can buy a new car if you can afford it,\u2019\u201d another quoted. \u201c#HotTake. Yet more classic Boogie twisting the narrative to make it seem like critics are jealous, rather than highlighting his flip flopping contradictions.\u201d This would be far from the first time Boogie has faced mass criticism, with an older clip from his stream going viral in late June that showed the streamer making a racist comment toward a donator. In fact, the criticism against Boogie is so great that the YouTuber has even admitted to having suicidal thoughts due to the hate, as told in a series of Tweets on June 13. Ironically all of this negativity makes me horribly suicidal. I struggle with it daily. I hate it. The idea that so many people think I am even capable of these things makes me wish I wasnt alive. Those things are truly the opposite of who and what I am. 2\/?\u2014 Boogie2988 :soon: vidcon! (@Boogie2988) June 13, 2019 Despite the backlash, Boogie is determined to ignore the hate and move forward, while critics are adding his latest stream to a long list of his previous offenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
