I was watching Ruben's stream last night because Brando was on it and I think he's an entertaining dude. Funny enough, I think he made his first appearance on Ice's stream on the first day (or at least the first week) I hung out with Ice. Ice mentioned that when I get back from Greek (Greece) he's gonna set me up on a date with Brandon. Not sure if Brandon mentioned it to ice, but brando dm'd me and told me he wanted to link with me and that he was a fan. I'm not with the gay shit even for content but I might be open to doing something with him on stream because I think it would be funny. Although he's so unpredictable, I'm not down to get arrested for a piece of content. When Ice mentioned my name, Ruben gave an over exaggerated look to the camera like "oh hell nah" I do think he adds to the content on Ice's stream but I do think nabbing Brandon to be the center of attention on his youtube stream, right after his popularity rise was a big sneaky/leechy. I went to bed and as much as you all can make fun of me for it....I had a dream that I apologized to Ruben, and all I wanted in return was for him to admit that I didn't get him banned. The reason it pisses me off so much is because when I did go to that dinner with Twitch Staff, they asked me specifically about the drama, and I said I would tell them but I don't want it to possibly hurt his channel. Staff told me it would have no affect......Ruben gets banned a few days later, blames it on me, says it was a permaban...then gets unbanned a few days later and was told what the reason was.....I was specifically told by another staff member, that they can't tell me the reason but they could assure me it had nothing to do with me or twitch drama. There's a good chance I'll never be friends with Ruben, but I would still offer that deal of a public apology if he does the same. I got sniped, he talked shit about me to his stream when i wasn't around and I stood up for myself.....Maybe I should have hit him up the next day instead of making a twitter video, I just thought at the time a video explaining what happened would be easier. Back to Brandon, I think since he has a lot of attention on him right now, he's going for shit full blast.....doing really crazy shit, like slapping strangers asses, he kissed that black dude that was a sign holder on the cheek when he wasn't looking. It's funny shit and great content but I think he needs to slow down a bit, and maybe not push it as much....He has a real shot at being a streamer and if he takes it that far all of the time, it's not going to end well for him and I'd like to see him succeed. I have a lot of love for Paul and I feel like I got to him when his stream was a bit more simple......a random stream sniper or two, walking around being goofy.....there are pros and cons to what his stream has become.....Swatting, an army of snipers that become regulars, some of them create great content, some of them cause an insane amount of drama.....The constant need for streams to be a big circus act or event seems a bit much at times. The stream the other night with Brandon, Ruben and the girls was one of the best in recent memory. I'd pick that over a boxing match any day. I benefited a lot from streaming with Ice, not only from numbers but also inspiration to do it. As much as some of you think I'll leech whenever I get the chance, you're absolutely wrong. In the few months that Ice has been on Youtube, appearing once or twice for a few minutes is nothing. Paul is a nice guy and I could have easily texted him weekly with ideas for a good stream....I'm sure he would have been into a few of them. At the current state of the stream, I don't really feel I have any place in that world...Ice and his friends will stop at nothing for getting content, being rude, pissing people off, sometimes being downright horrible to people. It's fun to watch but not fun to be a part of for me. Also the level of toxicity that gets thrown your way when you're a part of that stream is annoying at best and downright dangerous at worst....I think my best bet is to be a fan and maybe throw a few hundreds at him on his sleep streams and maybe bring him a blanky and a pillow. -Sitting Andy
