Controversial internet personality Paul "Ice Poseidon" has become the talk of the town ever since he began his jail livestream on Kick.

Paul fired a paintball at the participant's back, causing the latter to scream in pain. X user @FearedBuck shared their thoughts on the situation, writing:

"Even the security guard isn't safe" - Fans chime in on Ice Poseidon's jail livestream on Kick
Content creators simulating prison experiences have emerged as a new trend in the livestreaming industry. Last month, Twitch star Kai Cenat hosted his 7 days in subathon. Several prominent personalities, including Drew "Druski," Josh "YourRAGE," Chrisean Rock, Bryson "NLE Choppa," and Stokeley "Ski Mask the Slump God," participated in the seven-day jail livestream.
Ice Poseidon introduced his own prison broadcast on November 5, 2023. However, his content differed from Kai Cenat's in that the last man standing in the jail livestream would win a $50,000 cash prize. The participants were subjected to a slew of excruciating challenges.
Due to the severity of the challenges, Aaron "Ac7ionMann" forfeited the event, claiming that they were "way harder" than he expected. He said:
"I just walked out, man. They wanted to pour oatmeal and s**t on my head with eggs and stuff. I walked out. I will admit, it was way harder than I thought it was going to be."
In another instance, the community on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit was shocked to see that participants were subjected to "waterboarding":
As mentioned earlier, X user @FearedBuck's post was trending on the social media platform. One fan wrote that Ice Poseidon's content was "more entertaining" than Kai Cenat's:
Ac7ionMann also chimed in with his thoughts:

Ice Poseidon is a well-known IRL content creator who is currently indefinitely banned from Twitch. He is also widely regarded as a contentious personality, having been imprisoned in Thailand for performing an explicit dance at a hotel.
