Just curious how some streamers feel confortable ordering food delivery. Sure, maybe a normal person doesn’t really have much enemies to warrant getting poisoned, but when streamers do it, I feel like somebody is gonna leak their address or they are get food poisoned.

Or do streamers just have a friend/relative deliver food to them? (Because I’m getting the impression that most of them just use the normal delivery apps)

    There’s also a difference between some 100 viewer Andy on Twitch, and someone like Kai Cenat or Pokimane or xQc. Those are some recognizable names and faces, and they take precautions about this stuff. They have assistants and other staff that nobody would ever recognize.

      You’re making my point for me; I’ve literally never heard any of these names before you mentioned them. Wait, I might’ve heard the name Pokimane before but I must’ve thought it was an alternate pronunciation of Pokemon or something and didn’t realize they were a person, much less who they are.

      But yeah, they probably get recognized and have security concerns, I’m just saying as famous as they are they’re still pretty niche. Hell, the only reason I even know who Mr. Beast is is because other youtubers talk about him all the time, but i’ve never watched one of his videos.

      Yet I have never heard any of those names before. If you ask a random person on the street you’d be better off putting your money on them not knowing those names, let alone the corresponding faces.

        Some of them are popular enough to have 100k concurrent viewers. Some have had multiple stalkers and threats on their lives. When they go out and do IRL streams, they have to hire security. Some of them have contracts for stupid amounts of money. we’re talking 9 digits.

        The average person may not know who they are, but all it takes is one coincidence to put their lives at risk.
