It has always been the way for streamers to follow every viral trend. While some challenges are for a good cause like the ice bucket challenge, some trends are truly uncommon. One of the offbeat trends that has started to take over the internet is the NPC challenge. Multiple streamers like Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed have joined in on this trend.
While at the face of it, the trend may seem absurd to some fans, the reality behind this trend is shocking, to say the least. This trend has made multiple streamers thousands of dollars by just repeating it. And one of the people profiting from the trend is IShowSpeed.
