Twitch streamer windpress was left stunned after two viewers donated more than $3,000 to him during a recent livestream.
Twitch content creators often find themselves receiving large sums of money from loyal and philanthropic fans, but it is usually rare to see a budding Twitch streamer receive such a large donation.
Twitch streamer windpress gets a donation of $3,000
windpress was shocked after seeing a "donation war" go off on his channel as he played Wormate.io. Donation war is a term used when multiple viewers start donating to become the biggest donor on the Twitch streamer's channel. It is somewhat similar to bidding in an auction.
Streamer windpress' donation war began when a fan named yyy_ donated $51. This amount alone surprised the streamer, but soon, another fan began donating to him. The amount slowly snowballed, and both the viewers ended up donating more than $3,000 to the Twitch content creator, leaving him completely stunned.
A viewer who went by the name ElBeanTako donated $2,000 as they tried to compete with yyy_. The Twitch streamer could not believe what was happening, and his initial reaction was:
"What!? Guys, I don't even know what to say, dude! What is this, man? Two thousand big ones, dude! Guys, I'm sweating now. Dude, my voice! Dude! ElBean! What is that man?"
The content creator was unable to find the correct words to express his emotions and found it hard to react while playing an intense game on Wormate.io. A few seconds later, yyy_ donated another thousand dollars to match ElBeanTako, making a total sum of $3,000.

"Dude! What is happening? He can have this one. Guys! Two thousand from ElBean and one thousand from Yyy_. Oh my lord, dude. My neighbors are so mad right now, man. My neighbors are so annoyed. Holy dude!"
Windpress continued to thank both donors as his excitement didn’t seem to stop. The donation war soon came to an end, and the Twitch content creator continued to stream for an hour more.
Twitch chat reacts to insane donations
