xQc shares his thoughts on other streamers' merchandise
At the 15-minute mark of his September 4 livestream, the former Overwatch pro browsed his subreddit and explained how he managed to get "free" shirts from his sponsors. He revealed:
"'You told us about your other shirts,' I don't buy shirts. I just wear free s**t. Yeah, I usually wear, I'm a busy dude, okay? This is really odd. For the longest time, in like, five years, or whatever, okay? I always, there's somebody, a sponsor, that want's to make merch for me, I always say, 'Send Sammy some samples,' and they send the samples, right?"
He added:
"And what I do is that, even though I'm not really interested in getting or using their products, I just wear those samples all the time and get free s**t. So, for the longest time, I've just been wearing free garbage."

Moving further, xQc provided some insights on how he felt about the other streamers' merchandise and said:
"Guys, guys, guys, can we talk? I know I only have merch for chat, okay? You should see that dog s**t merch I get from creators. I don't wear them, I don't want to give them promotion."
He went on to say that he felt bad about the people who bought the other content creator's apparel:
"Holy f**k! I feel bad for the people that buy merch from other streamers. I feel bad for people who ditch their real-life money from this garbanzo. Holy f**k, man! I don't even know, man!"
Fans urged xQc to identify the streamer whose merchandise he was referring to. He replied:
"I'm not going to say who. Guys, I will not say who. I'm not going to say. I'm not going to name anybody out, okay? But it's at least 15 plus streamers, okay, that are all pretty big. Okay? All like, about 7k, 10k viewers plus. I'm not going to say who it is. I'm not going to say who it is, but the people who buy their merch get f***ing scammed."
