Being a streamer is not as easy as it seems, this is due to the negative consequences that comes with the internet fame, such as swatting which has become quite common in the industry. Throwing light on this, Blaire ‘QTCinderella‘ described how such incidents have left a huge scar on her life that has even compelled her to think about quitting streaming.

The Twitch streamer known for hosting events for her fellow streamers recently made an appearance on the show of Anthony Padilla where fans got to see her never-seen before side. At the 15-minute section of the YouTube video, she describes the horror of streaming by stating, “It’s only a matter of time before I quit because I’ve lost my mind.”

Mentioning how even her therapist has realized that streaming industry is the most trauma-inducing one, she referred to the swatting incidents, that she and her partner Ludwig, had to face. As Ludwig is also a streamer, the couple have had some bad experiences during their streaming career.

She made another shocking revelation, “I have been diagnosed PTSD from us getting swatted”, describing that swatting is almost like a sleep paralysis in real life, as she was left frozen when she saw the SWAT team with guns and flashlights outside her house.

The content creator continued to describe the swatting incidents in brief, including the case where they got swatted during Ludwig’s 30-day Subathon. She stated that she had to spend sleepless nights, in the fear of getting swatted any time during the Subathon.
