Only a few months back, streamer Tyler1 slammed parents who don’t keep a close eye on their children.

One industry insider has recently shared a video on X where we can see former Twitch star xQc playing an online game. The streamer seems to be in the same lobby as Trainwreckstv, whose voice we can hear on the video. At one point, Trainwreckstv says he needs 90 million dollars just to break even.

Gambling: the persistent vice

Gambling has always been a dark yet inseparable aspect of human society. While gambling is something that’s been frowned upon forever, gamblers have continued with it nevertheless.

xQc himself has lost over $800k thanks to a server error. The streamer was playing Pragmatic Play’s The Wild Machine during a stream and seemed to win over 800,000 dollars at one point. But his celebrations didn’t last long and all of his wins went down the drain as the website crashed. Playing Wanted: Dead or Alive, a slot-based roulette game, Trainwreckstv won close to a whopping $14 million.
