It is a highly anticipated event for viewers because they get a good subscription deal and support Twitch streamers and streamers can also earn more income during this period.


However, members of the FaZe clan had a scary slapping incident during their subathon stream on September 19.

There have also been cases of people being killed by the police after being beaten as a prank, which further shows how dangerous the act is and highlights the importance of providing more protection to content creators.
