Streamer ERBY’s cage stream sparks controversy as Twitch issues ban over dangerous stunt

Streamer ERBY has landed in trouble after a strange and risky livestream caught the attention of many viewers online. The creator decided to sit in a dog crate for a long period of time as a challenge. His idea was simple and outrageous at the same time. He would stay in a dog crate as long as people were sending him money. The more people were sending him money, the longer he would stay in the crate.

The situation soon became more serious as viewers were also given control over what he did during the stream. Small payments could make him perform uncomfortable actions, like turning off the lights or pouring water on himself. Within just three days, ERBY earned around $1,540. However, this unusual challenge did not sit well with Twitch, which stepped in and banned him for breaking its rules.
