The streamer was in the middle of his broadcast when he responded to viewers thinking he was “joking” about taking a break. “It’s not a joke. I’m very close to quitting streaming for a little bit,” he said. “These past couple of days I’ve been thinking about it. It doesn’t feel good when I stream anymore.”
Piker showed his viewers an example of why he wanted to take a hiatus by pulling up a hateful message he received from a viewer. “This is why. I hate myself. I hate everyone. I’m constantly fking stressed out. It’s disrupted my sleep cycle,” he said, before opening up about how he no longer feels like he can speak freely in front of his audience. “I can’t even be fking honest with my own community for a single moment. It’s like everything I say can and will be used against me. I feel like I’m going crazy. I feel like I’m losing my fking mind! It’s so fked, and there is no way to show how fked it is until you experience it. But it’s making me fking go crazy!”
Piker revealed that him and his family had been getting doxxed and swatted off camera, before reiterating that the stress had become too much. At the time of writing, it’s not clear when Hasan will take a break. However it sounds like it will be temporary if he ever does.
