Cleverly profiting off of the cruelty of the human soul, Twitch streamer allowed viewers to 🐓continuously ruin his attempts to build a house of cards – for a price. When anyone donated 100 bits (previously 200) or more, it triggered a large fan which was positioned right next to his workspace, knocking everything over with each activation.
Every time his cards fell down, something deep within Izidore died. For whatever sadistic reason, Twitch users t✃ook pleasure in seeing the light slowly leave the eyes of the small streamer. He literally tried to build it for 10 hours (with va𓄧rious, minor interruptions) before finally ending the stream. To be fair, usually the cards fell without the help of the fan.
That's not the only thing Izidore has left in the hands of his malicious viewers, however. At the time of writing, he is in the middle of a 24 hour (or more) marathon stream. Currently, one subscription will result in either him or his long-term girlfriend, Mel, being blindfolded for 10 minutes; Earlier, a subꦉ would turn on the space heater within their small room for 5 minutes; Donating 50 bits ﷺputs another minute onto his marathon stream timer – already beginning at 24 hours. Only time will tell how the session turns out for Izidore.
Many streamers operate using a similar, less-original𒁏 strategies – doing humiliating activities for donations. Izidore, however, puts his willpower to the test with each of these incentives.
Even televised series' have been created due to the public's strange interest in watching others intentionally isolate and torture themselves. One show in particular, Solitary, ran for 🍌four seasons between 2006-2010; Its contestants went through a chain of challe🎃nges that were designed to test their mental fortitude, often driving them off-the-wall crazy within their confined spaces.
YouTub🌟ers have also found an audience for willpower-based content, MrBeast being the easiest example. One of his most popular videos involved setting up four of his buddies within a small circle to see who could last the longest, all for $10,0👍00.
Izidore seems to be tapping into the exact same vein of entertainment, yet ♑repurposed for smaller Twitch audiences. Although he isn't the first to explore these concepts, it's still quite brilliant. Based on the success of similar ideas, he could very well build his Twitch channel around the niche.
