You’ve got to pay the troll toll.
Twitch has opened up new lifelines for online personalities over the past couple of years, with many making a fair amount of their income with those at the top living pretty lavishly off of subscriptions and donations. In fact, the service has become such a platform that one rich individual decided to pull off a hilarious prank only to watch it backfire spectacularly.
The goal of the prank was simple, to donate money to various Twitch streamers in the sum of thousands of dollars only to go back a month later and reverse those charges. You can watch the video below to see the reaction of the people who received donations. Unfortunately when the wealthy individual went to recuperate his donations, Paypal denied all of his claims.
It’s a tough lesson, to be sure.
Well, that guy was an idiot. I’m glad the streamers got to keep the money.
