Minecraft star TommyInnit reveals his most \u201cbizarre\u201d interaction with IRL hater YouTube: AnthonyPadilla \/ Pexels.com: Craig AdderlyTommyInnit is one of the biggest Minecraft content creators on the internet \u2014 but despite his sprawling fanbase, not everyone is enthusiastic about his streams and videos. The life of a social media star certainly seems like a charmed one; garnering millions upon millions of fans, scoring big cash from major brand deals and essentially being a celebrity are all definite perks to the job. However, not every facet of the influencer lifestyle is a positive one. More so than A-List actors and Grammy-winning singers, internet celebs tend to share more of their private lives with their viewers, resulting in (sometimes toxic) parasocial relationships. Sometimes, fans \u2014 and haters \u2014 can take these parasocial relationships too far, with many influencers sharing horror stories of being stalked by haters or having their homes broken into by fans. While TommyInnit, a hugely popular Minecraft personality with over 9 million YouTube subscribers and one of the fastest-growing Twitch channels, has no such harrowing tales, he did share a \u201cbizarre\u201d encounter he experienced with a hater in real life. During an interview with fellow YouTuber Anthony Padilla, TommyInnit claimed that he\u2019d been approached by an angry viewer while hanging out with a friend. \u201cI had a hater once come up to me and go, \u2018Your channel is a**!’\u201d Tommy regaled to a laughing Padilla. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018What?\u2019 And then me and my friend kind of lost our s**t, and he looked really angry and went, \u2018It \u2013 it \u2013 it\u2019s s**t!’\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s fair enough if you don\u2019t like someone,\u201d the Minecrafter continued. \u201cBut to then shout it? Like, he must\u2019ve really been in the portion of viewers that found me annoying at first. \u2026just being a d**k, you know? I was like, \u2018What the hell?\u2019 It was so bizarre!\u201d (Topic begins at 8:36) Tommy is well aware that, being a public figure, he can\u2019t exactly pop off on his hater in the same way, with the YouTuber himself joking that he realized, \u201cOh wow, I can\u2019t go out and be a d**k in public with my friends!\u201d when he reached a certain level of internet fame. While there\u2019s always a dark side to stardom, Tommy seems to be taking it all in stride \u2014 even finding humor in otherwise hairy situations such as his incident with the angry hater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
