Sodapoppin is a variety streamer with almost 6 million Twitch followers. Lately he\u2019s been streaming the latest Twitch phenomenon Rust, participating in the huge OfflineTV server alongside creators like xQc and shroud. For most streamers, releasing merch is not only a great way to share something with their followers, but from a business perspective also allows them to make a decent amount of profit to put back into their content. While it seems strange for someone to want to avoid making money off their products, that\u2019s what Sodapoppin did when he released his new merch. In a YouTube video about the topic, he explained, \u201cthe merch store, there is no profit in it. It\u2019s simply just very cheap shirts. But they\u2019re 100% cotton.\u201d He also said, \u201cit\u2019s not like they\u2019re cheap shirts, it\u2019s just that my profit is taken out, I get nothing from it.\u201d Sodapoppin accidentally makes $10k With that goal in mind, it then made a lot of sense when Soda shared his frustrations with gaining over $10,000 from the drop \u2013 completely unintentionally. \u201cYou wanna hear rich people problems?\u201d he began. \u201cSo Malena made a YouTube video talking about the shirts or whatever, the store. The whole purpose of the shirts is to be dirt cheap and make zero profit.\u201d He revealed the choice was selling the shirts for $9, or selling them at $12 and provide a discount which would make them cheaper overall. \u201cBut Malena made this video, and she didn\u2019t know about the discount code. I made like ten grand on people not knowing about the discount code. And I\u2019m pissed about it.\u201d An unintentional $10k isn\u2019t usually something that people would get annoyed at, but it couldn\u2019t have been further away from what Chance was trying to do with his new merch release. Although the kind gesture ended up backfiring in an unexpected way, the story of the accidental profit-making was definitely an entertaining one for viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sodapoppin accidentally makes $10k from merch and isn\u2019t happy about it YouTube: SodapoppinTwitch streamer Chance \u2018Sodapoppin\u2019 Morris explained that while he had attempted to make zero profit off his recent merch launch, a missing discount code meant that many bought the shirts at full price, and he ended up unintentionally making $10,000.
