SHiFT goes viral after “begging” for subs during Twitch stream

During a recent subathon stream on Twitch, SHiFT was down to just an hour and a half left when he began asking his viewers to gift subs.

“Come on guys, five subs. If we get 50 we’ll get a two-minute multiplier. We just need five subs,” he explained. “You think this is begging? I’m telling you guys how to save money. If I wanted to make more money I’d let you guys drop the combo and then I’d get the 50 when it’s worth the combo…you guys don’t understand how math works.
