Nina Lin and Ash Alk recently collaborated for a broadcast together, titled ENEMIES TO FRIENDS THERAPY, on August 22, 2025, wherein they had to be handcuffed to each other for a whole day as they partook in activities together, including getting food together.

Meanwhile, Plaqueboymax had been livestreaming himself visiting streamers who had fewer than 1,000 followers and donating to them. After stumbling upon the two streamers eating a meal together, Plaqueboymax donated a hundred subscriptions to provoke Ash Alk to throw her food off the table.

Soon after, the streamer obliged, grabbing handfuls of her food and stuffing it into a bag. Nina, now visibly annoyed, was seen flipping over their table and spilling their drinks, a move that was condemned by netizens online.


In other news, YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" is poised to begin his tour across the United States in the coming few days, with him broadcasting nonstop throughout the entire ordeal. The streamer will be using a tour bus to travel, hosting desktop broadcasts daily alongside the IRL tour.
