Jeremy "Disguised Toast" Wang has plans to shake up one of the popular pieces of content in Twitch. Toast's idea is to change the traditional 'subathons' into 'viewerthons'. Leaving his fans intrigued, the streamer decided to dish the details about his new idea.
Subathons have become such an integral part of Twitch with some of the most famous Twitch streamers spending an eye-watering amount of hours in front of the camera to boost up their sub numbers. One of the most iconic examples being Ludwig "Ludwig" Ahgren who very nearly topped the charts in his epic subathon. As a response, Felix "xQc" Lengyel claimed he was going to set his own huge subathon to rival Ludwig's.
However, things could all be about to change as Twitch streamer Disguised Toast has announced his plans to change the way subathons, in a new concept he has dubbed a 'viewerthon.'
What Is Disguised Toast's New 'Viewerthon' Idea?
During his stream on February 15, Disguised Toast announced his plans for a viewerthon, but what is it? Well, for subathons, a streamer's viewers have to pay an extortionate amount of money to subscribe to their favourite content creators and help them boost up their numbers. However, according to Toast, a viewerthon will also rely on how many people are actively viewing the stream at one time rather than subbing.
The streamer may lose money on subs, but it could see them hit a mind-blowing amount of viewership numbers. For example, VTuber "Ironmouse" pulled in a whopping amount of viewers just before she broke the record for the most subbed-to female Twitch streamer.
What Are The Rules Of The Viewerthon?
The main rule of Disguised Toast's viewerthon is that if his viewer count drops below a certain number as his stream goes on, then the stream will come to an abrupt end. Essentially meaning that the more fans who tune in, the more likely Toast's stream will go on and on. As of writing, Toast's viewerthon has pulled in more than 15k views and the 30-year-old has consistently been streaming for over 39 hours straight.
As to why exactly he has decided to go ahead with the viewerthon, Toast explained: "It's the idea of doing a subathon, but I don't feel comfortable taking too much money from my viewers and putting it directly in my pocket."
With Toast's still currently hitting the numbers, chances are the streamer could be in for a very long day at the office.
