Jeremy “Disguised Toast,” a Twitch streamer, hinted during his livestream on October 30th that he won’t be on Twitch “for long.”
Disguised Toast started the conversation by admitting that he was livestreaming because “that was the only reason” he was hosting a sponsored segment. When some viewers asked Jeremy if he had turned into a “full-time sponsored streamer,” he answered: “Look, let me tell you guys the truth. The truth is, I’m not going to be on Twitch for long. I’m getting the bag from another platform, so I’m squeezing my audience for all they got. I’m doing it as much sponsored streams as I can before I get the bag and move. All right? There, I said it.”
Jeremy admitted that the only reason he was livestreaming on October 30th was to conduct a sponsored section on his channel. He made this admission early in the broadcast. He stated: “I’m not going to lie to you, I’m going to be honest with you chat, because you guys are all adults and you guys can handle the harsh truth. The harsh truth is that, I have a sponsored stream today, and that’s the only reason why I’m streaming. Don’t get it twisted, chat. It’s not like, I like streaming. That’s purely because of the sponsored stream. Do not get it twisted.”
The streamer said that his audience “got him” as he completed his joke: “All right, fine! You guys got me. It’s because I care.”
Disguised Toast immediately became aware of a member of the community who claimed to be a “full-time sponsored streamer.” The Hearthstone enthusiast said that after reading the aforementioned message, he wouldn’t be on Twitch “for long.” He continued by saying that other livestreaming services were “getting the bag” from him. Then, in jest, Jeremy said that his viewers “could help him out”: “You know how you can me out? Remember, we’re all in this together. When I make money, we make money, because you guys love me and I love you guys. Right? So when I’m making money, I don’t want you to think like, I’m making money. I want you guys to think about it as like, ‘We’re making money.’ The money goes to my bank account, let me be clear.”
Disguised Toast went on to discuss how he “enforces” his audience to purchase his goods by making them “feel more invested” in doing so: “But attitude I want you guys to have, it’s like, when I win in TFT (Riot Games’ Teamfight Tactics), when I win in Hearthstone, I say, ‘We won, chat!’ That’s why, you know, enforces chat, it’s like, ‘We won.’ Technically I’m the one winning, but when I frame it as ‘Us winning,’ you guys feel more invested in the outcome, and therefore you’ll buy my merch.”
