A streamer spent three days of his life in a spinning wooden crate in an attempt to grow his channel – and make himself very dizzy.
One of the most popular ways for streamers to gain attention on Twitch is by hosting a subathon – a marathon where each new subscription and donation to their channel adds more to the amount of time the streamer must be live for.
These events force content creators to find new, sometimes ridiculous, ways to entertain their fans and things often get out of hand, like when UK streamer Tubbo set his kitchen on fire on day 46 of being live.
However, it doesn’t get much weirder than when Twitch streamer DeadBlossomJesse decided to live in a wooden crate for three days – one that would violently spin him around every now and then.
DeadBlossomJesse started his subathon by nailing the door to the wooden box shut, effectively imprisoning himself in a crate with no escape until the subathon clock ticked down to zero.
The box was almost big enough for him to stand in and had air holes cut into it, but all he brought with him was two ice boxes, a change of clothes, his streaming equipment, and something to sleep in.
‘I am nailed inside a rotating box I cannot control. I will not be let out until the subathon ends,’ his livestream was titled.
DeadBlossomJesse said he had contracted someone to build the box for him and bring him food, but not to let him out before the subathon timer was done.
As if that wasn’t enough, every now and then the wooden box would spin, seeing the streamer and everything else that wasn’t nailed down rotate out of control.
It was DeadBlossomJesse’s friends on the outside who spun the crate, and could often be heard laughing while doing so. Fortunately DeadBlossomJesse had the foresight to nail down his PC.
As streamers have to entertain their fans for so long during subathons – often days on end – the content they come up with is sometimes outrageous, like when ExtraEmily spent 24 hours taped to a wall.
DeadBlossomJesse, however, spent three days in the wooden crate, mostly watching videos or playing games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, in what must be one of the weirdest livestreams in a long time.
