Prankish Twitch Stream on a Walmart PC Becomes the Attraction Hub for Over a Thousand Viewers, but Ends Up With a Ban

A strange Walmart Twitch stream has left fans perplexed – they just can’t believe something of this sort to happen!

Walmart is one of the biggest retail chains in the US, thanks to its impact on customers. Its stores act like a one-stop destination for every consumer, making every product on the list available. For instance, one can easily shop for fresh groceries and high-end electronics at the same time. But that does not mean that people highly rely on the latter as it does not classify under the electronics category. So, there are times when you can come across a bunch of computers lined up one after another, ready for purchase. 

Now, let me ask you. If you think of buying the product, you’d walk in, buy it, and leave, right? Well, that’s what the majority would do, except for this one mystery man who decided to play evil. Apparently, he logged in and turned on a Twitch stream, achieving an impressive record before an ultimate ban. 

Strange Walmart Twitch stream crosses a bizarre amount of views despite any content 

Recently, a mysterious Walmart customer took things to the next level after he fidgeted with one of their computers. Interestingly, he created a fresh Twitch account under the name Walmart00012 and started an instant stream on the platform. At first, people barely noticed it, just like the viewers, as it felt like nothing but a mere accident. 

But then, the trend picked up, and this ‘customer view’ streamer allured thousands of viewers. To talk numbers, the broadcast went on for over 5,155 hours, with 2,076 at a peak. The best part of this stream was that no person was aware for a very brief amount of time until reports turned in to Twitch. 

Then, the Amazon-owned platform took the matter into its hands, shutting the account down immediately. They banned the account over violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. Since then, the account has been inactive, with no further information about the same.

But the scary part of it lies with the fact that someone had the audacity to login into the PC, download OBS, launch it, create a fresh Twitch account, and start an actual stream.

So, it is hard to blame either party as Walmart generally keeps demo PCs on showcase for customers, helping them understand the product. However, that does not mean people are allowed to just cause menace and trouble in society!
