IShowSpeed is one of YouTube\u2019s most popular streamers. Boasting over 13 million subscribers, the young influencer is known for his wild hijinks and over-the-top reactions. Although he\u2019s garnered an extremely dedicated fanbase, an overwhelming majority of his viewers took issue with his November 16 broadcast, during which they accused him of promoting a crypto \u201cscam\u201d called \u2018Paradox Coin.\u2019 This cryptocurrency is part of an open-world, action-adventure game called the \u2018Paradox Metaverse,\u2019 which users can play to earn \u2018Paradox Coin.\u2019 Initially, Speed wasn\u2019t happy with the criticism being levied toward him during the stream and asked moderators to ban those speaking out against the promotion \u2014 but now, he\u2019s changing his tune. IShowSpeed apologizes to fan over cryptocurrency kerfuffle During a subsequent broadcast on November 17, Speed issued an apology to his fans, claiming he\u2019d made a \u201cmistake\u201d and promising he\u2019ll use the opportunity to grow and learn for future endeavors. \u201cY\u2019all don\u2019t know what I do for y\u2019all, bro,\u201d Speed began. \u201cLet me give out a quick little quote. I do so much stuff for y\u2019all, bro. I made a mistake. You know, I\u2019m not that smart, I\u2019m gonna be honest. But as I go, I get smarter and smarter, bro. \u201cI made a little mistake that I wish I never did, but I\u2019m not a scammer, bro. [There\u2019s not a] day in my life I would never scam you guys. Just remember that, bro\u2026 I care about you guys so freaking much. I love y\u2019all so much, bro.\u201d Thus far, Speed\u2019s fanbase seems to have accepted the apology as the streamer bounces back from a tense moment under the microscope.
