The hot tub meta is something that has caused huge controversy among the Twitch community throughout 2021. Twitch have advised that they\u2019re \u201cclosely\u201d monitoring hot tub streams, while streamers such as Valkyrae have defended it and Malena is vehemently against it. Regardless of where you stand on the matter, it\u2019s clear they\u2019ve caused significant division, but CallMeKevin saw an opportunity to really do something good for his community and for charity. In a tweet posted at the end of his stream on May 13, Kevin was clearly absolutely mindblown at what had happened. https:\/\/twitter.com\/CallMeKevin1811\/status\/1392938833365422080 In just three hours, his viewers managed to raise $43,330.20 for St Jude\u2019s Children Research Hospital, which treats the toughest childhood cancers and pediatric diseases. Kevin thanked everyone who was involved, calling it \u201cmind-blowing,\u201d adding that \u201cwe did a really good thing today.\u201d The stream was chock full of entertainment, and Kevin even battled through a storm to keep things going, the best opportunity to start singing his sea shanties. https:\/\/twitter.com\/CallMeKevin1811\/status\/1392957896833519617?s=20 He had a number of challenges, raffles, and more for reaching certain milestones, with a goal of $10,000, but he and his community seriously exceeded that. While the hot tub meta may have caused a stir among the Twitch community, Kevin decided to take it and do something good, and we would love to see more like this in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
