At 12:32:34, Clancy stated that he was "shamelessly" posting messages in content creators' channels, requesting that they raid his channel once they finished streaming.

Elaborating on what he was doing on his broadcast, the former NASA employee wrote:

"DJ Clancy: I am shamelessly going into chat of streamers I know to ask for raids when they are done. I am doing my first charity stream for St Judes as a part of the GCX Marathon. Not listening since I am streaming. I am going till 1am."

However, the streamer whom Dan Clancy messaged timed him out for 600 seconds from their live chat room.

Zach Bussey claimed to have verified with multiple Twitch chat moderators and streamers that the CEO of the Amazon-owned livestreaming platform posted self-promotional messages:

"It's 2025, and Twitch Partners are still self-promoting in people's chats. And before you ask... Yes, this is real. I verified with multiple mods + streamers in the place(s) where the self-promo occurred. So disrespectful, and ignores the most basic of Twitch etiquette."
