Popular Twitch streamer Emily "ExtraEmily" hosted a "Run-a-thon" broadcast on September 27, 2023. The livestream format was similar to a subathon, in which the content creator continues to broadcast themselves as long as viewers subscribe to their channel. In the case of ExtraEmily, she added 0.05 miles to her "Run-a-thon" each time a viewer subscribed.
However, one moment from the broadcast went viral on social media, in which the Twitch streamer was interacting with her viewers while walking down a busy road. Her live audience also expressed concerns about the situation and alerted her.
In response, ExtraEmily asserted that she was walking on the bike lane and said:
"No, this is the bike lane! I'm literally a bike! Right? This isn't the... oh. 'Get off.' Am I not a bike? Okay. Got it! What? Why can't I count as a bike? I just had to have a bike? What?"
The One True King (OTK) member's clip was the top post on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, with over 315 community members commenting. Redditor u/TrynaGetaHandbeezy stated that the Twitch streamer was "endangering more than herself" and added:
"I know streamers play it up for stream but Jesus damn, being this obtuse should be punishable. You're endangering more than yourself, remove the main character glasses for a while and take a look around."

Redditor u/phoknow's take received quite a lot of upvotes, in which they wrote:
"People saying this is her playing a character… when a car passes you on the left and then passes you on the right, you break character and say, 'Oh s**t, I’m in the middle of the road, I need to move.' She’s not wired right and is becoming a danger to herself and the kids who watch and are influenced by her."
Here are some more fan reactions:
ExtraEmily's uncapped "Run-a-thon" lasted ten hours, with her covering 14.3 miles on foot. She also received 1,074 subscribers during the livestream.
