0:00 I have a very important question for you. >> Can I shove this up your >> dad reaction videos on YouTube? >> Oh, hey. >> Uh-oh. >> Military. >> For every loved streamer on our screens, there's one that is hated just as much. From handing a homeless woman a fresh start. >> Don't take it. Don't pop. Don't pop. Don't drop. >> To letting a cat lick vodka off your lips [music] >> to scrolling on your phone while driving live on stream and nearly causing an accident. >> Look at this [ __ ] gang. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0:45 >> Oh [ __ ] >> Oh my god. >> What the [ __ ] is wrong with THIS CITY? THIS [ __ ] DESERVE TO BE BANNED >> to harassing an entire country so badly that its own president went on camera to call you out. >> Today we're unpacking exactly what separates the ones the internet adors from the ones it can't stand. Starting with number one. That's fire. >> Hey, Finland going crazy right now. >> Issue Speed the heart behind the chaos. Speed started posting gaming videos back in 2016, but it wasn't until 2021 that his screaming reactions to NBA 2K and Fortnite went viral and turned him into a global name. [music]
1:31 >> My mom is kind of homeless. >> Since then, he's racked up over >> 60 million. LET'S GO, [screaming] BABY. [laughter] >> SUBSCRIBERS. Became the first English-speaking streamer to ever hit 1 million concurrent viewers during his ASIA TOUR. >> [screaming] >> AND TOOK HOME STREAMER OF THE YEAR IN 2024. >> MAN, oh man. Streamer of the year. That's a crazy one. But look, I want to thank a lot of people. I want to thank my management team. I want to thank my like my team, my cameraman, my my mom, my dad, the countries that allow me to, you know, stream in them. >> But what actually built his fan base is the stuff between the chaos. Handing a mother $11,000 live on stream. >> Take it. Take it. Take this. Take it.
2:18 Seriously, no. Take it. No. Don't cry. Please don't take it. Just take it. Okay. Take it. Okay. >> Stopping a whole IRL stream in Korea just to walk a drunk stranger home safely. >> You okay? Okay. Where your house at? Where your house? >> Where your house? >> House. >> And helping an injured kid get his banned Tik Tok account restored. >> Took a dog. I don't understand. I did nothing wrong. Do you know that I can't play? I can't run. I I can't hang out with friends outside. I can't do a bunch of stuff because I could break something. And I'm just I have an online community that I can share and have friends with. And you're trying to take them away from me. Well, this isn't fair.
3:03 >> You know what, chat? After watching that, I'm about to give up another Tik Tok universe. >> Um, they're incredible speed. Are you kidding me? >> Thank [music] you very much. >> On top of all that, he's shown up for real charity work, too. Joining the Sideman charity match and the match for Hope soccer game. Then there is the opposite of speed, Jack Doerty, who cared more about the car. In October 2024, he crashed his $200,000 McLaren live on stream. >> Hard to see right now. I can't see. This is scary, guys. You can't see it, but I'm so coaching. OH. OH. NO, NO, NO. >> AND INSTEAD OF checking on his cameraman, Michael, who suffered head
3:49 injuries in the crash, Doerty was noticeably more worried about the car. >> There's no [ __ ] Michael. Here, Michael. Jeff, film on that part, too. >> That got him permanently banned from kick, but it wasn't even his first strike. Back in January 2024, he'd already been temporarily removed after guests on his stream exposed themselves on camera. He's also no stranger to physical altercations. a 2022 fist fight with fellow streamer Neon at a bare knuckle event and a 2023 lawsuit for assault and battery after his own bodyguard allegedly attacked a guest at a Halloween party. Then in December 2023, streamer Natalie Reynolds came forward accusing him of grooming and pressuring underage Only Fans creators into signing contracts. By far the most damaging claim on the list. And if you've seen his other clips, you already know the personality underneath all of
4:35 it. Bragging about his cars, his house. >> Can't be around me. You'll never be in my vicinity. You'll never be in my position. You'll never have as hot as a girlfriend as me. You'll never have 12 Lambos. You'll never have 35 houses. You'll never >> number three. Kai Tinet, the internet's sweetheart. Kai is Twitch's number one US streamer. And what actually keeps people coming back isn't just the chaos. [laughter] >> Because your friend did what he did. >> What? 5 minutes of prone. You're going to have to be in the pool for 5 minutes straight. >> It's how genuine he stays underneath it. In May 2024, he brought Kevin Hart on stream for a back and forth roast session that fans loved so much they demanded a sequel. [screaming] [applause] >> I got to GET CLOSE TO SEE HOW
5:22 >> LET THE WORLD SEE IT. >> LET THE WORLD SEE. >> THIS IS THE TRUTH. >> YOU GOT SNEAKERS. >> THESE ARE FLAGS. >> I DON'T THIS IS MY FEET. >> Despite literally having celebrity sleepovers, Nicki Minaj has also popped up on his stream. What you mean? Is that bad? >> No. Go ahead. Not compliment. Not about a compliment cuz a bad don't need all of that. >> Okay. >> About a having the confidence to approach a bad with confidence. >> See, I'M TEACHING YOU. >> OKAY. TEACH ME. TEACH ME. >> Young man. Young man. >> Come on. >> Kai never lets any of it go to his head. He humanizes every guest instead of name dropping them for clout. >> LeBron James. LeBron. I'm on live right now. >> HEY BRO, WHAT UP ON MAN? >> LISTEN, when you start when
6:10 >> in 2025, he even launched streamer university, inviting aspiring creators to learn from some of the biggest names in streaming, a project many saw as him giving back to the next generation instead of keeping the spotlight on himself. >> Ready for 2026? Say hell yeah. >> Now you Now you do know. Now you do know right? Oh my god. HEY [screaming] [laughter] >> how are you? >> Come on. Come to the front, bro. Come to the front, >> sir. I quit weed 3 weeks ago. >> Yeah, we heard that 25 times. >> Kai once befriended a random fan he met on the street during a stream. >> IT'S MY DREAM. >> IT'S YOUR DREAM. >> YEAH. [laughter] >> I LOVE YOU, [ __ ]
6:55 >> YEAH. [screaming] >> OH MY GOD. I LOVE YOU, BRO. I LOVE YOU, BRO. >> Can I get you? >> Of course, bro. and even showed up to his graduation. Bro, >> bro, [laughter] >> what's good, bro? >> That's cowboy drip. >> It's not cowboy drip. >> It's graduation drip, bro. They don't wear this in Taiwan. >> Hell no, >> they don't. >> No, they wear black and white. >> Yeah. Yeah. Now, zip up. Now, zip up. Zip up. Zip up real quick. Hey yo, [laughter] >> yeah. Go take a picture. Come take a picture, bro. Come on. The same can't be said about Ruckai. He actually started with a real cosign. Kai Kenet brought him on for a video call in April 2024 and treated him like the next big thing. >> WHERE YOU FROM? >> From New York. For me, I'm from New
7:40 York. For me, for me, DO IT DIFFERENT. >> NEW YORK from Yeah. Do it different. Do it different. Godamn. >> Wait. >> That should have been the launchpad. Instead, it became the before picture. Once he moved into the AM house, the red flags started stacking fast, casually scrolling his phone while driving live on stream, nearly causing an accident in the process, which made him get a Twitch ban. Oh [ __ ] Oh my god. Oh [ __ ] Laughing while a homeless man ate beside him. [laughter] >> So much that Mr. Beast had to intervene and give the homeless man 100,000 just so that he can get back to his feet and
8:27 crashing out on his own viewers for not donating enough to him. Then in March 2026 came the real turning point, a Mr. Beast $1 million streamer tournament and Rocky turned it into a highlight reel of disrespect. He got confrontational with other creators on camera instead of focusing on the competition and then mocked another competitor so badly after her elimination that she broke down crying >> cuz you're bad energy, bro. >> You're bad energy. >> People just don't like you cuz your reputation like a [ __ ] >> bro. probably the most hated person. >> Yeah, you up there. >> If I have a chance, I'm getting him out. >> He needs to leave. >> During another stream with Kai, a young fan walked up to him asking for a shout out for his dad, who is also a YouTuber. And Rocky cursed at his dad on YouTube. >> Oh, your dad. >> Hey. Hey. >> Now, on to some good vibes. Queso, the guy with the big personality, is one of Twitch's biggest streamers, and he's become the target of constant jokes
9:13 about his weight. He even got parodyied in a YouTube video mocking his size. But instead of getting defensive, he laughed right along with it, joking about his own size next to tanks and helicopters like it was nothing. >> I'm not going to eat nobody. >> DONUT [laughter] YOU. >> Josh donated $1. You're the reason they invented Double Doors. Grows the planet in Planet Fitness. >> That reaction alone earned him a reputation as one of the most downto-earth streamers out there. What actually seals it though is what he turns down. According to his own mom, he's rejected sponsorship and game deals worth millions of dollars simply because he knew they didn't fit his content or his audience, choosing long-term trust with his fans over an easy payday. On top of all that, his community engagement is next level, reviewing fans memes, checking out their gaming setups, and even their fridges, and reacting to
9:58 their cringiest Tik Toks live on stream. >> Whose granny is this? >> While Queso was out here winning our hearts, Vitali the Arrest Simulator was in the Philippines breaking them. An entire country, including the presidents. Vitali has built his whole career around the question, will he get arrested this time? He took his prank format to the Philippines, threatening to rob an elderly woman, harassing restaurant workers, jumping on a security guard's motorcycle, and riding off with it, and provoking more security guards with inappropriate questions. >> A very important question for you. >> Can I shove this up here? >> What? >> The story blew up so badly in the Philippines that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. personally recorded a reaction video condemning him. In 2020, he flew to Egypt and tried to
10:45 climb one of the pyramids of Giza, only to get pulled down by the actual military. Uh-oh, the military. [music] >> Some streamers built their careers around drama. For Jinxy, it's almost the opposite. His content has always been centered around gaming and interacting with his chat, even though drama has occasionally found its way to him. His first major streamer feud came in 2024 after a public falling out with fellow creator Clicks. Since then, he's been mocked by other creators, turned into the punch line during collaborations, and constantly underestimated. >> I feel like in this in this particular group of people, bro, you got the least liquidity. >> Jinxy, you're disrespecting Jinxy's tournament. Yo, yo, yo, disrespecting you. >> But instead of firing back or dragging out conflicts for views, Jinxy usually laughs it off, moves on, and gets back to entertaining his audience. That ability to avoid feeding unnecessary drama has become one of the biggest reasons fans respect him. On to number
11:31 eight, Elinity and the cat controversy. This is the name that comes up the second people start talking about streamer controversies. Back in 2019, she was caught throwing her cat Milo over her shoulder midstream after he stepped onto her desk, her taking a sip of vodka and letting Milo lick it directly off her lips despite alcohol being toxic to cats. Markiplier has been famous since 2012. Off your horror game screaming, and somehow over a decade and 17 billion views later, he still acts like none of it fully makes sense to him. His charity calendar alone raised $500,000 for the Cancer Research Institute in just two days. With over $3 million raised total to date, even past 38 million subscribers, he's never once turned his success into a personality. No flexing, no acting above the people who got him there. And he's broken down on camera, thanking fans for standing by
12:17 him through every chapter of his career. He also publicly warned his audience away from a shady sponsor years before it turned into a massive scandal. >> Feel right? I never took a Honeyde because I didn't trust it. >> Consistency like that is rare and fans notice it. And to close it out, the one that's actually the most debated on this entire list, in October 2022, Amaranth went live and accused her husband of controlling her finances and threatening her pet dogs and horses to force her into explicit streams she didn't want to do. >> Leave the house. >> Okay, I can leave the You know what? Actually, I don't I shouldn't leave the house. What are you saying? You just told me you were going to kill dogs. if I didn't do a 24-hour stream. >> Just days later, she announced their separation, celebrating her newfound freedom and saying she no longer had to
13:03 work cleavage every day. Her content afterwards stayed exactly the same. And when she addressed the backlash, her explanation shifted from, "I was forced to," it's always been about personal agency, two things that don't really line up with each other. That contradiction made a lot of people question whether the entire story had been used for sympathy and attention rather than genuine abuse. Whether the original allegations were true or not, the way the aftermath was handled left a lot of viewers with real doubts, which is exactly why this story still gets brought up. That's your 10.
