Popular Twitch streamer Felix "xQx" Lengyel has exposed a viewer that has donated over $800 in order to send the content creator toxic chat messages. Because successful Twitch streamers often aren't able to interact with their regular chat as it flies by, some viewers donate money to get a message through, and some abuse the system to send hateful words.
During a November 25 Twitch stream, xQc looked into the chat history of a viewer called Ctvvv which revealed a slew of negative chats alongside enough PayPal donations to total $850. Popular livestreamers are known to make a portion of their income from subscribers and donations as views increase, with xQc earning impressive figures given his regular standing at the top of Twitch. Because of how often he goes live on Twitch, xQc sees a wide array of messages from his community from positive to negative, and this donator put a lot of time and energy into sending him the latter.
Scrolling through the many hate donations from Ctvvv, Twitch's xQc was left stunned by the whopping 170 times the viewer sent money in order to disparage the former Overwatch League pro. Among the $5 donations were regular jabs at xQc's aim in FPS games, his lack of rhythm, methods of communicating with chat, and even types of content that live viewers have become privy to through watching the Twitch streamer. According to Ctvvv, xQc viewers are also putting themselves on the line by watching his Twitch content, and the popular creator has become odd lately which the donator recommends he "stop pretending" in order to rectify.
Given that many Twitch viewers will donate to a popular streamer before reversing the charge so that their messages get through the chat without consequences, Ctvvv may not have truly certified the $850 just to trash talk. Completely flabbergasted by the volume of donations from Ctvvv, xQc concluded his review of the hateful messages by asking the viewer "what is wrong with you?" Although many Twitch donations sent by viewers still get ignored by the content creators if they're found to be out of line, the many messages from Ctvvv not only reached xQc, but were displayed in chat as an example of an unhinged fan.
While many Twitch viewers have expressed their own astonishment at the xQc community member's dedication to sending toxic messages to the popular livestreamer, others admired the ability to spend money so easily.
