Broadcast Money That is sleeping through Twitch (OddityCentral)

JAKARTA - The Internet does not only contain interesting information and knowledge. We can also find many unique events. An example is a case that recently stirred up the netizens of the Twitch platform.

Twitch is a technology platform where users can live streaming. The developer gives the user freedom regarding the activity of the creator who wants to broadcast. Starting from games, playing musical instruments, to the unthinkable like sleeping.

Yes, that's what a streamer from Taiwan named Wang Yiming recently did. The Twitch platform streamer who is also a former member of the AMOi-AMOi music group has successfully collected donations worth US $ 3,000 (US) or the equivalent of IDR 43 million.

What surprised and alarmed many netizens, Wang's streaming content only showed her sleeping. For five hours.

Usually, Wang shares gaming content during streaming. During the game, Wang did not forget to greet fans via the chat column. However, on February 24th, Wang wanted to try something different.

Finally, she logged into her Twitch account at 5 pm. Instead of seeing Wang sitting at the gaming table, as usual, the audience was treated to a picture of her mattress. Shortly thereafter, Wang began to lie down and sleep until 11 p.m.

During the streaming, Wang, who was sleeping, was watched by nearly 10 thousand visitors. The peak even reached 11,200 viewers who saw her fall asleep!

Just sleeping with her eyes closed with the eye mask, Wang managed to raise 3,000 US dollars. That's just the amount from the donation. The ad value is not calculated based on the number of viewers.

So what do visitors do? It doesn't make any sense. Some commented on her sleeping position, some were even busy laughing at the pose when Wang's mouth was wide open.

When the former singer woke up, Wang was surprised to see thousands of viewers filling the streaming room. And what was even more surprising, some visitors felt at home watching Wang sleep for five hours!

Despite doing nothing, Wang became one of the top streamers during the five hours she slept. As a result of this content, controversy began.

On the one hand, Wang's loyal fans even like and consider the content as a new streaming format that Wang has developed. On the other hand, many Taiwanese netizens have criticized the current streaming conditions for Twitch.

The contra argues that the success of sleep streaming means that the quality of the content is nothing more than a charming appearance and a small amount of skin to watch. Some fans also called viewers who enjoyed streaming Wang 'perverted'.

Interestingly, sleep streams appear to be trending. Neither on Twitch nor other similar platforms. Quoting Wired, during the last two years, there have been many famous streamers who broadcast while she was sleeping. Like Wang, most were awakened by the crowd of comment rooms and donation notices.

Last week, Wang's streaming content became a hit. Many Taiwan netizens talk about it. However, Wang was not the first to do this.

In February last year, when the Coronavirus lockdown was being tightly enforced, a Taiwanese streamer broadcast himself sleeping. At that time, he managed to gather 18.5 million viewers!
