Twitch is a streaming platform where fans create the demand for the content they want. As a result, ‘hot-tub streams’ have become some of the most popular videos on the platform. What seemed like a very small niche on the platform has now turned into one of its biggest trends. Popular streamer Ninja took notice of this and mocked the trend live on stream.

Hot-tub streamers commonly practice writing the names of people who donate to them. They either write these names on their body or on some type of board in order to show their appreciation.

Ninja and xQc criticize the hot-tub stream trend

Ninja tapped into his trolling side on a recent stream. Tyler put on a perfectly accurate impression of a streamer receiving a donation. He started by acting overly grateful towards the person who made the donation and ended with this hilarious walk to the board where he writes the name of the person who donated to his stream.

The hot-tub stream trend truly marked its arrival when the streamer Amouranth overtook Pokimane as the most-viewed female streamer for the month of March. This outcome was very unlikely as Pokimane is widely considered as the ‘Queen of Twitch’ and Amouranth is popular for her mix of gaming and unorthodox content.
