The streamer Rani “StableRonaldo” Netz (21) is making a big announcement for Christmas. He wants to give back to his Twitch viewers all the money they have sent him over the year through Twitch subscriptions. He wants to give something back. However, this is a massive amount of over one million US dollars for the streamer, and fans are skeptical.
This is StableRonaldo’s statement: The successful Fortnite streamer says in a Twitch stream on December 25 (via x):
- He will refund every single person who subscribed to him in 2024 their money on Christmas.
- No matter if the person subscribed for one month or donated 10 subscriptions, they will get their money back.
- He is doing this because he realizes that he is nothing without the community and to give something back.
StableRonaldo is one of the young streamers who has made a lot of money on Twitch with Fortnite and has treated himself to a Lamborghini with the money:
Streamer wants to refund fans over one million US dollars
How much money are we talking about? Stable Ronaldo is a successful Fortnite streamer who currently has 30,000 subs. If you calculate that over the year and take a conservative estimate, you can assume about 300,000 subs that he received from fans in 2024.
Assuming a 70% share of these earnings goes into StableRonaldo’s pocket, a massive amount comes out.
This would amount to about 1.05 million US dollars that StableRonaldo would have to refund. The Twitch share amounts to an additional 450,000 $.
Fans doubt the gesture of the streamer
What is the problem? The whole action immediately raises some questions:
StableRonaldo only receives a portion of the money that a viewer spends when they subscribe to him on Twitch: a percentage goes to Twitch, and taxes also need to be paid on all the money. Therefore, he would have to spend much more to refund viewers than he has actually received.
How does he plan to determine how much each viewer has donated to him? He claims to have installed a bot in early December, but that data does not go back to early 2024.
Where does he plan to get the account information of the viewers? How does he intend to technically refund people their money?
You don’t joke with such gifts
That is the suspicion: The 21-year-old StableRonaldo has a certain reputation as someone who does a lot to gain attention. Therefore, many are skeptical on X whether the Twitch streamer truly means his promise or if it’s just a trick to generate attention at the end of the year.
His last “Subathon” ended just after a few minutes because no one subscribed. A heavy blow for the spoiled streamer.
However, it would be very problematic if he just promises something here and does not follow through. Such behavior would likely have a negative effect on his clan, the FaZe clan. If this were a lie, no one would ever believe him again.
And you don’t joke around with such “Christmas gifts”. So in any case, a thrilling topic to see how this develops and whether Stable Ronaldo will follow through on his words with actions.
What could be a possibility? One possibility could be that StableRonaldo expressed himself unfortunately and it does not concern the entire year, but only the subs that came in December 2024 – from the point he installed the bot. That would be a manageable amount and a generous gesture.
