"Just to be a background character": Fans troll Airrack for sneaking onto IShowSpeed's IRL stream

YouTuber Eric "Airrack" recently uploaded a YouTube video, titled I Hid In IShowSpeed's Live Stream, in which he made a cameo appearance in streamer Darren "IShowSpeed's" broadcast. Airrack had prepared multiple disguises in an attempt to pop up in different streamers' broadcasts without being recognized.

As such, he appeared in the background of one of IShowSpeed's IRL broadcasts while posing as a security guard. After making an appearance on the broadcast and getting noticed by IShowSpeed's viewers without being recognized, Airrack completed his objective of getting a clip of the incident.

After the clip eventually went viral on X, many users gave their take on Airrack's dedication to his video, having flown 20 hours to be able to appear on the broadcast as a "background character":

"He did all that just to be a background character," wrote X user @zouthflorida.

"Was it all worth it in the end?" questioned X user @ItzSykadelic.

"The dedication," wrote X user @Sam_king_88.

On the other hand, many complimented Airrack's ability to go unrecognized during the broadcast:

"He’s so good at this," wrote X user @FlyShadow1151.

"I'm picturing Airrack in the airport, practicing his 'casual, unnoticed' walk for hours. Method acting, but for sneaking," wrote X user @veefly_.
