Watch: Twitch streamer gets harassed by stranger for recording in public

Twitch IRL streaming has its upsides over the more conventional video game or cooking broadcasts that happen indoors as it allows content creators to showcase the wider world by live-vlogging their experiences. However, it does come with its challenges, and facing criminal threats is part of that.

SATUYE, however, has been IRL streaming from the streets of London for quite some time, having started his Twitch journey in 2020. He has garnered around 4,000 followers on the platform.

During a livestream a couple of days ago, SATUYE was seen trying some dog food when a man walked up to him, demanding that he turn the recording off.

The stranger, who was carrying a food item, got agitated when the Twitch streamer offered to film them eating together. He walked off but came back to berate the content creator for filming in public, aggressively asking him what he was doing:

"Don't do that here. You think I am joking? What's this? What's this? What are you doing?"

As SATUYE explained what he was doing, the man knocked the food from his hand and threatened him before attempting to hit his head:

"You're recording people, bro. Stupid. Brother, I'll smash you, you know? You're recording people bro, don't do that."
