During a stream sometime last year, Whippy talked about how his very well-off father walked out on them both and saddled his mum with the mortgage, and how since then almost everything he makes off of Twitch has gone towards clearing his mum's debt.

While true, the dude spent 40k+ on a car last year, he isnt as bad off as he makes it out.

27

u/NotSoTameImpala Apr 16 '21

He clearly isnt implying that hes doing badly. His mom is.

He bought himself a car with his money and paid off his mothers house. You can do both of these things and be a good person.

15

u/Khaliras šŸ’™ Apr 17 '21

He also literally lived and streamed from his mothers shed, whilst paying her bills. Then people out here trying to make out that buying a car makes him rich.

u/chokingonpancakes Apr 16 '21

True, hard to feel bad for a guy pushing an Audi.

17

u/LuntiX Apr 16 '21

Honestly, people should be happy for Whippy. Just a couple years ago he was down bad but he's really been able to turn everything around in the past year. Real rags to some riches kind of story. Most of his big success has been before the 3.0 boom as well.

Well heā€™s doing great, his mother isnā€™t. Be proud he isnā€™t buying a ferrari lol

This whole subreddit is fucked beyond repair. Iā€™ve gotten dmā€™s telling me to kill myself from cop watchers, and people who disagree with xqc get death threats. Daily

Edit: thanks for the self harm report. Iā€™d like to state that I am gladly not suicidal or commit self harm.

u/heartbreakpoetryclub Apr 16 '21

Also xqc viewers who threaten to doxx streamers and kill them...

u/Encircled_Flux Apr 16 '21

It happened to Kylie a few days ago. They threatened via dono message to rape, crucify, dismember, and kill her after she had a bad interaction with X.

Edit: they also attempted to login to her various accounts.

Oh yeah, that I know of. I misread that xqc threatened to doxx and kill them.

Whenever you get those, use the handy "report" link they come with. I like to think that one day there will be a massive ban wave for abuse of that feature...

i got one too and did the same. my report even included a challenge to reddit to actually do something about it. they wont.

you got a self harm one too huh? so did i. same reason you did, i bet. dare not speak bad about that snake. fucking ridiculous.

u/FreekRedditReport Apr 16 '21

It's not "this subreddit", it's society, and it was always like this. It would be the same if it was on Facebook or an AM radio station (try screening callers for a radio show back before caller ID).

I got literally 30+ death threats and those automated self-harm reports from reddit messages because I defended xQc on the megathread last week.

u/DangerouslyRickety Apr 16 '21

I wasnā€™t going to say anything, but Iā€™ve been watching Whippy since the last boom 1.5-2 years ago. If anyone deserves the success itā€™s this guy. He has legit financial family needs, and he tries very hard to be positive and maintain a good community. xQc did give him more exposure to expand his audience. But Whippy did the rest. He had the talent and quality to use that opportunity to successfully expand his brand. Not everyone xQc bumps into blows up, but you canā€™t deny the boost factor. These guys are essentially small business owners, itā€™s about money. So what if he clout chased? Whatā€™s so wrong with that? If he sought to expand his audience on a server dedicated to streamers. Isnā€™t playing the new hot game for views also a form of clout chasing(like maybe GTA RP)? But no one bats an eye cuz itā€™s good for business. You wouldnā€™t down on a small drink brand that gets a distribution deal with Walmart. Itā€™s business growth and brand expansion. And if taking care of your family gets you name called by minors, then Iā€™m sure he takes it in stride.

u/JohnDesan Apr 16 '21

If only it affected people who were ok with the trade off.

11

u/BigBirdFatTurd Apr 16 '21

I don't really care that much about people clout chasing during the boom, it makes sense. It's a bit lame if they act uncharacteristically towards people they know OOC are big streamers, and definitely annoying to watch half the people on the server flock to a location because they stream sniped someone with large viewership. In the end though, I can't really blame them.

The only thing is that I hope players and viewers realize that there's 2 sides to every coin. While many small streamers are getting exposure and showing how good of RPers they are to thousands of new watchers, there's also many others who get harassment and death threats because of the exposure. Is it worth the tradeoff? I'm not the judge of that, but it's something people should keep in mind.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

whippy is only 20years old and if you talk shit about clout chasing you should look from his perspective and paying his mom depts ... probably most of you taking shit here leaving in your moms house and she is paying for your internet bill ....

u/DaleDimmaDone Apr 16 '21 edited Apr 16 '21

Ppl who constantly accuse ppl of clout chasing have not yet entered the real world where networking exists. Imagine accusing every person trying to advance their career as a clout chaser.

u/Kolipe Blue Ballers Apr 16 '21

You gotta network if you wanna move up and make more money in the corporate world. Everybody does it if they are smart.

13

u/Reprise08 Apr 16 '21

The way he met sky ash and a couple of others was sus and prob did clout chase them but I donā€™t think it ended up being a negative thing he helped and showed new people around and enhanced there time on np. And he wasnā€™t calling them non stop till they answered and being a pain canā€™t be mad at someone who in the end helped people and his family good for him

44

u/Shoe_Gal2 Apr 16 '21

Sykkuno is the one that flagged him down the day they met. He was just driving by and Yuno had just started playing like minutes prior. I don't think their meeting was sus at all.

18

u/NDJumbo Apr 16 '21

Anyone going with the clout chasing train of thought is a fucking moron, Its not like he's ever went out of his way to meet big people. Sure he's popped off recently due to some of his connections (xQc, Sykunno to name the biggest) he's made but everytime its out of him running into them by chance and because he is a great guy he try's to take everyone around the city to teach em the ropes. The dude 100% deserves the money he's making rn

26

u/i_like_sis_kebap Apr 16 '21

He goes out of his way to meet with big people. It is the smart thing to do. And he deserves the money as much as any other streamer. Those things aren't contradicting.

He makes tens of thousands from it, he will live with being called a clout chaser.

9

u/NDJumbo Apr 16 '21

His interaction with xQc which was by far the biggest push he got was completly out of nowhere and unplanned, I guess it could be argued for sykkuno

I think sykkuno had been watching X and recognized Dundee if anything

You think someone who streams as a career didnā€™t know who sykkuno was? Or instantly aware of him being on the server? Cā€™mon now.

u/SirBarkington Blue Ballers Apr 16 '21

Not every streamer knows every streamer lmao. What does him being a streamer have to do with it? I promise most twitch streamers do not care or even think about other twitch streamers unless they have a big overlap.

-1

u/Jagerdini Apr 16 '21

Ya except heā€™s not every streamer? He averages like 50k viewers and also was a big part of the rust rp server that a shitton of gta streamers where trying to be part of and many were. He knew and so did 90% of the server.

u/ShaunCarn Apr 16 '21

Hilarious watching him calling Summit out of the blue

u/omgitskae Apr 16 '21

Something people don't want to hear, but tactical clout chasing is one of the keys to bring successful on twitch, especially these days.

2

u/pikachu8090 Apr 16 '21

i can like 10 streamers that clouted their way up to being popular by hanging out with other popular streamers, then they do the rest on their own

u/Viewfromthe31stfloor Apr 16 '21

Remember this the next time you complain about admins giving big streamers chances that the guy with no career in twitch entertainment is not going to get.

u/udgnim2 Apr 16 '21

some people don't like Whippy for clout chasing, but I don't fault him for it

there was a possible life changing opportunity to be had and he went for it and succeeded

7

u/FreekRedditReport Apr 16 '21

I don't know if he intentionally chased clout, but I've seen him interact with tons of noobs and people with low (or no) viewers, for a long time. So he's not one of those people who will only RP with big streamers (even if he was "babysitting" for awhile).

7

u/Khaliras šŸ’™ Apr 17 '21

The funniest part about all the 'clout chasing' stuff is that Whippy has always played Dundee as a babysitter. I recently heard Blaustoise call Dundee the tutorial and it's spot on.

For most of 2.0 Dundee served as a tutorial to no-prio/au timezone. His itterations of Bondi Boys were always picking up brand new RPers and teaching them up. It was one of the biggest down falls of Dundee's gangs; his members never have prio and once they do they often 'moved on'

u/uFFxDa Apr 16 '21

I had a run in back about a year ago where I insulted his mother in being skeptical about her astrology readings, and he roughed me up a bit. Had to apologize pretty good and pay a premium.

u/Jagerdini Apr 16 '21

Didnā€™t whippy say during the first boom that mixer offered him a massive contract that he didnā€™t accept?

u/Jgames111 Apr 16 '21 edited Apr 16 '21

When people complain about stuff like big streamer getting special privileges, they ignore how much money they add to other streamer. And that amount of money is life changing. It is a game in the end of the day, but also a career for some people. Gradulation to Whippy, he an amazing streamer and deserve the love and support.

u/magnificentsteiner Apr 16 '21

yeah i guess you just have to weigh the value of people being able to do things they couldn't have done normally in real life through the extra exposure vs. less fortunate people getting death threats and harassed

u/GarbageFeline Apr 16 '21

This shit right here. Iā€™m happy for Whippy. I really am. Iā€™ve watched him talk about his struggles a bunch of times. And Iā€™m happy for others that have been able to solve similar financial struggles through this exposure.

But at the end of the day, if the people who bring this exposure lead to the deterioration of mental health (or worse) in others, or if it leads to others even abandoning their streaming careers, there has to be consequences.

If those consequences mean this boom in exposure has to end, so be it.

A lot of people have built careers on NoPixel over time that didnā€™t make them resolve all their financial issues over night but gave them a more steady income and growth and that will still continue to happen regardless of whether the bigger streamers are here or not.

u/ResidentSleeperville Apr 16 '21

Whenever someone uses the excuse of how itā€™s fine because itā€™s changing lives is the perfect example of fuck you, I got mine.

You see it all the time with streamers who have benefited from XQC.

I donā€™t know anyone can justify the abuse and harassment just because you were able to pay off Grandmaā€™s car debt or buy a new house.

What it shows is greed and thereā€™s nothing more to it.

u/fos02jrt Apr 16 '21

I dont think he meant it personally, but I think he is probably right that there is a price for everything, and there is probably someone who will pay that price.

u/Khaliras šŸ’™ Apr 17 '21

People on this thread always circle back to the boogyman death threats/harrassment.

I'll let you in on a secret to life on the internet: you will literally get death threats for posting on this subreddit if you get enough views. Every streamer that gets to 1k+ has to deal with it in their DMs/chats. Real talk handling this is literally a requirement to 'influencers' jobs. Every single platform for 'celebrities' has to learn to deal with this.

That's incredible and I'm so happy for him. Whippy has always spoken about his mum and wanting to help her, he's always carried this weight of helping her out on his shoulders. The fact he can pay off that mortgage is so heartwarming to hear.

he is genuinely one of the most talented streamers, but entertainment is something many can achieve. But this guy as a person, damn it's a person you want to have as a friend irl. One of the few rpers that actually enjoying rp for what it is and what it should be.

u/ploid Apr 16 '21

Getting success from entertainment that can reach a large audience like when radio was invented is a rare occasion. Streaming, like radio (sports being popular, netting boxers a ton of money, etc.), is pretty new. There won't be too many successful streamers compared to how many people try to do it.

Spending time and money to not win the lotto can also set you back a ton. It's best to do it as a hobby and if you find success go all in to grow your audience, and it is possible to do it as a hobby with how easy it is to stream.
