The world (and the concept, actually) of Twitch<\/a> is definitely something you couldn’t explain to someone who has never opened the website. Seriously, try explaining to your parents the idea of paying to watch free content of a person reacting to other things. As part of this new kind of begging, streamers are willing to do all sorts of things to make ends meet<\/strong> (after, of course, giving half to the company itself). This is the case of Lacy, a ‘Fortnite’ player who, after what he did, is going to lose his hair.<\/p>\n\n\n

Shaved and Shamed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shaved and Betrayed: Lacy, a prominent ‘Fortnite’<\/a> player with 83,000 followers on Twitch, has been making waves in the streaming world. Currently in the midst of an 11-day Bitathon, where he continues to stream as long as viewers donate bits (which essentially means money). However, a week ago, on day 3, someone threw a curveball at him. Instead of a $10 subscription or a modest $100 prize, the viewer offered a whopping $25,092<\/strong>. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head down to the skin in an unusual form of gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the amount totaled 251,092 bits. As a reward for reaching this milestone, Lacy shaved his head completely as a strange form of gratitude<\/strong>. However, in the very moment he did it, the user requested a refund for the donation. Ah, the old trick. It turns out it was all part of a well-planned troll: the user deactivated their Twitch account, blocked Lacy on Twitter<\/a>, and even within ‘Fortnite’ itself. Moreover, apparently, this wasn’t the first time they had done something like this. Spoiler alert: No, Lacy’s hair hasn’t miraculously grown back with the money refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
