"People with s**t taste is all I see" - IShowSpeed amassing over 22 million subscribers on YouTube seemingly leaves netizens divided

YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" has reached another career milestone by amassing over 22 million subscribers on his primary YouTube channel. On December 10, 2023, the Ohio native hosted a two-hour-long broadcast to commemorate the occasion. Like how his celebratory broadcasts usually go, fans decided to troll him by collectively unsubscribing from his channel.

Expressing his dismay at his followers' antics, IShowSpeed said:

"Oh, my god, it won't let me hit it! Y'all won't let me hit it, bruh! Y'all won't let me hit it! They won't let me hit it, bro. They won't let me f**king hit it, bruh! I swear to god, I'm about to go crazy on these n****s, bro. I'm about to go crazy on these motherf**kers if they won't let me hit it. I'm about to go crazy!"

Just a few moments later, Darren reached 22 million subscribers and exclaimed joyfully. He concluded the broadcast by jumping into his $10,000,000 mansion's swimming pool and saying:

"22 f**king million, man! S**t (is) too f**king easy! Can that airplane shut the f**k up?! Too f**king easy! 22 (is) too easy, man."

The achievement went viral on social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit. While numerous fans were delighted to see the streamer amass such a large following on his channel, others were seemingly left divided.
