Sykkuno is one of the most popular content creators on YouTube, with a massive 2.84M followers on the streaming platform. Since his debut in 2011, Sykkuno has played a variety of games and been featured alongside other popular streamers. Because of his ever-growing popularity, Sykkuno often draws a crowd during live events and IRL streams. However, despite his overall popularity, the streamer found himself being approached by so-called \u201cfake fans\u201d at this year\u2019s Anime Expo. Fortunately, the YouTuber had one simple trick to help him decipher his real fans from those that simply wanted to follow the crowd. Sykkuno\u2019s simple trick for revealing fake fans During his recent appearance at Anime Expo, Sykkuno found himself surrounded by people who didn\u2019t even know who he was. Not only did this stop his real fans from being able to take a photo with him, but it also led to some rather frustrating encounters. \u201cThere are people who will just see a group of people standing around taking pictures with someone, and they\u2019ll just get in the line and take a picture \u2013 even if they don\u2019t know who you are,\u201d said the streamer. Sykkuno quickly realized that there were people taking photos with him, then simply Googling who he was after. It was because of this, that the streamer decided to expose those that had queued up for the sake of following those around them. \u201cSomeone would just show up and I\u2019d just do a really simple thing. I said \u2018name one video game you\u2019ve seen me play,\u2019 I mean, I am a streamer. You could name any game and you\u2019d be right. I\u2019d believe you.\u201d By using this method, Sykkuno exposed some \u201cfake fans\u201d who had simply taken a spot in the queue just so they could snap a photo and claim clout on their social media. While these scenarios proved to be frustrating, the steamer felt bad for his real fans that couldn\u2019t meet him as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sykkuno reveals how he exposed fake fans asking for his picture SykkunoWith his recent venture to AX Anime Expo, Twitch star Sykkuno has called out fake fans that take don\u2019t even know him.
