xQc confused by streamers who beg for donations and subscribers Popular Twitch streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel explained how he was confused and found the trend of begging for subscribers and donations to be \u201cweird,\u201d during a recent discussion about streaming. Since departing the Overwatch League and focusing full-time on streaming, xQc has become one of the most popular faces on Twitch \u2013 racking up over 1.8 million followers on the livestreaming platform. Tens of thousands of fans tune in to watch him react to videos and play a variety of games on a daily basis, but he is slightly different as he doesn\u2019t ask for subscribers or plug Twitch Prime sign-ups. In fact, he has claimed that doing so is a \u201ctrend\u201d and one that he finds pretty \u201cweird.\u201d During his December 2 stream, the Canadian had been chatting with fellow broadcasters Pokelawls and HasanAbi when he came across a Twitter video of TrainwrecksTV jokingly plugging Twitch Prime subscriptions. \u201cGuys, what is this e-begging trend? Dude, this new e-begging trend is so weird to me dude, I don\u2019t get that,\u201d xQc said, before being questioned about what he meant. \u201cThe e-begging dude, like begging for subs, begging for donos, begging for whatever dude.\u201d As asking for subs isn\u2019t exactly a new thing on Twitch, xQc was asked if he was sure that it was a trend. \u201cYes, its a trend, of course it\u2019s a trend, I see it all the time,\u201d he replied. It\u2019s the e-begging dude. It\u2019s weird.\u201d The former Overwatch professional also took issue with streamers who ask for a certain amount of subscribers after Hasan recanted a story about needing a certain amount of fan backing before diving into Twitch full-time. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s OK either,\u201d added Lengyel. \u201cI don\u2019t like the concept of that either, because you\u2019re basically saying \u2018oh guys, I\u2019d rather be doing this but this job is bad, I\u2019m at the mercy of you, if you want to pay I\u2019ll give you more time\u2019 \u2013 I don\u2019t like this angle.\u201d Now, of course, not every streamer is searching for monetary support \u2013 some like Jeremy \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 Wang \u2013 have actively tried to send their viewers to subscribe elsewhere. Plenty of others have even lived up to the \u2018sellout\u2019 mantra, plugging Twitch Prime on a regular, but it appears as if you won\u2019t be seeing xQc groveling anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
