Streaming and content creation have become lucrative career paths for many. So, what is the greatest way to put that money to use? One of the methods is to use their fortune to help others. If you are on the internet, you might have probably seen videos in which creators give away large sums of money to strangers.
When it comes to giving away exotic items such as a large amount of money or even a private island, Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is the first name that springs to mind. He is without a doubt the one who turned giveaways into exciting content. More and more creators and streamers are hosting giveaways lately, like elite streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel.

The 27-year-old Canadian streamer, xQc is one of the most prominent faces on Twitch. This former Overwatch pro is well-known for his “Just Chatting” and gaming streams. However, he has recently ventured into IRL streaming. It is a genre in which the creator shares their daily life with their viewers.
In a recent livestream, xQc went into a restaurant to eat. But when it came to paying the bill, he was also supposed to tip the waitress who served him. So he decided to use a randomizer to determine how much to tip. So the randomizer told the Twitch elite to tip the waitress $1,197 but rounded it up to $1,200.
The waitress was taken aback by the big tip and exclaimed, “You’re lying.” He then told her that he chose her tip using a randomizer and that she received the biggest amount he had in mind. While the streamer was leaving, the waitress thanked him for the tip. Later, xQc asked his friend if “that wasn’t too bad” for their first IRL giveaway.

What did fans have to say about the giveaway?
There are some diehard xQc fans who weren’t impressed by the waitress for her reaction, as they were expecting some over-the-top reaction. But she got some knights in shining armor in the comments who explained that she also has a job, so breaking down after receiving a big tip might affect her job.

It was a great giveaway attempt by xQc, although he seemed a little worried while giving it away. Possibly, he can watch some MrBeast videos to see how Jimmy Donaldson does it. What were your thoughts on this giveaway?
