Twitch Streamer Locks Himself in Closet for 3 Days

In a daring venture, one Twitch streamer locks themselves in a closet for three days, letting viewers torment them in exchange for donations.

In an unusual twist of events, a Twitch streamer embarked on an attention-grabbing endeavor by locking himself inside a closet for an uninterrupted period of three days. During this period, he allowed viewers to influence his experience in exchange for monetary donations. While Twitch subathons have always been associated with capturing attention through their intriguing content, this streamer's challenging venture has attracted considerable interest.

For those unfamiliar, a Twitch substation is a live stream event where streamers prolong their broadcast based on the number of new subscriptions they get. Essentially, every new subscriber adds a specified amount of time to the stream. The thrill lies in seeing how long the broadcast can be sustained, with subscribers pitching in enthusiastically. While the traditional format remains popular, many streamers are now introducing their own creative twists. For instance, in April, the renowned Twitch streamer ExtraEmily undertook a unique challenge: she remained taped to a wall for an initial 24 hours, and for each subscription she received during the broadcast, she added 30 seconds to her time on the wall.

More recently, it was the Twitch streamer Izidore who set forth a challenge for himself—being confined in a dark closet, offering his viewers the opportunity to pay for the amusement of putting him through various torments. The menu of torturous items included a flashbang, a barrage of ping pong balls, a leaf blower, and a water shooter, each assigned a different price. For instance, viewers could trigger a flashbang for 25 bits, while the price for the water shooter was set at 750 bits. To top it all off, Izidore made a pledge that if he were to quit before the 72-hour mark, he would take the initiative to "total" his own car.

However, Izidore's endeavor didn't go as planned. With 49 hours and 27 minutes left, he ended the ordeal, tearfully sharing he couldn't sleep, see, or even breathe in the tight space. He briefly spoke with his girlfriend June before leaving, expressing a desire to continue, but overwhelmed by emotion, he surrendered after all. It's important to note that Izidore isn't the only recent streamer whose endeavor went awry. A few days ago, popular streamer Fousey was not only arrested but also hospitalized during his Kick subathon.

While the trend of subathons and innovative variations to these activities on streaming platforms persistently evolve, attracting vast audiences and engagement, it's vital to underscore that they're not universally acclaimed. Some prominent figures in the streaming community express reservations about these practices. A case in point is renowned Twitch streamer Pokimane, who has openly expressed concerns. In her viewpoint, she remarked, "There's no way subathons are healthy for a human being to do."
