Matthew ‘Mizkif’ Rinaudo is one of the currently most controversial streamers on Twitch. He has now launched a unique challenge: staring at a white wall for hours. He has collected money for an organization that cares for mentally ill people.
Mizkif has come up with a new challenge for a good cause and stared at a white wall for 10 hours. For this, he turned his back on his setting and the viewers and started a timer for 10 hours. You can watch the stream directly on Twitch.
By the way, he is not the only streamer who comes up with crazy ideas for his stream:
Twitch streamer wants to stare at a wall to test his own mind
He himself explains before his stream that this action would be quite exhausting: ‘It is a very mentally destructive stream. It is very exhausting. The reason why I like to do this stream is that it tests my mind.’
Mizkif also had to realize that staring at a white wall is not necessarily one of the creative highlights of his career. He noted:
It will be ridiculous, I tell you, you do not want to be here unless you are an absolute idiot. Which I would probably assume for nearly every stream I participate in. It is really dumb.
How much and for whom did he raise? Mizkif ended the stream on January 27, 2023. He raised a total of 11,000 USD with his stream. The money goes to Rise Above The Disorder (RAD). This is a nonprofit organization that covers the costs of mental health care for people around the world.
Mizkif’s career abruptly stopped when he was involved in a major scandal
Mizkif is one of the most controversial streamers on Twitch. He is among the big cynics who rarely hold back. He once explained that he only streams with attractive women to increase his views.
Eventually, he was accused during a stream of being involved in sexual assault. The discussion about this accusation quickly affected not only Mizkif’s community but also those of Twitch and Twitter.
Also, because he did not take the whole thing seriously at first and many colleagues and friends supported him.
After the scandal, he was not banned, but he disappeared from the surface for weeks. His colleagues probably advised him to let the matter settle.
Meanwhile, Mizkif is back on the air, but he perfectly apologized for his behavior:
