A strange incident is currently being discussed on the Internet: a Twitch streamer who appears as a virtual person accidentally shared codes for a plush toy with his viewers on December 23rd. But something went horribly wrong, instead of plush toys worth $150 that he actually wanted to give away, there were plush toys worth $150,000,000.
This is the situation: The Twitch streamer Vedal987 is behind the AI-generated character “Neuro-sama,” a V-tuber. We reported on the AI Neuro-sama on MeinMMO in January 2023:

What is the reaction? The streamer quickly realized he was $30 million in the red, which of course he isn’t. He then looked up how to file for personal bankruptcy online and read it out loud.
He ultimately discovered that he didn’t have the £680 to declare himself bankrupt: he told fans that it was okay, he just needed more subs than anyone else in Twitch history.
The clip of this bankruptcy declaration now has 71,000 views on Twitch:
It is assumed that the orders will be canceled
How is this discussed? The absurd incident is being discussed on reddit; people don’t believe that the streamer is really liable for the fact that so many people have now redeemed the 100% discount code.
Especially since it must be a mistake on the website that they sent him five one-time codes and five “infinity” codes.
A Reddit user speculates that someone must have simply made a mistake on the website and forgotten to deactivate the “multiple use” checkbox.
The most likely outcome of this action will be that the 5 million orders will be canceled.
People are now discussing to what extent this was an “honest” mistake on the part of the streamer and to what extent it was a gag or a marketing campaign.
In any case, strange news just before Christmas.
