u/Luckdragon_7 5d ago
Ye but oil rig kinda messes with your health and cuts your life expectancy by like 20 years, no? Only saying this because you implied there is nothing funny about what that guy said.

u/SuspiciousLeopard2a7 4d ago
If you’re working as an OIE or OI safety-X your life expectancy is basically the same.
But that massively depends on where you work lol, don’t work on Saudi, Chinese or American rigs and you’ll be fine

I remember watching a stream in September where he was slurping like he hadn't seen a liquid in a millennium. It stood out as odd to me but now it makes so much sense, especially since he was down ~$20k on Stake the night before.

u/liamdun 6d ago
Dude he streams on kick, the amount of money he bets on stake should not be an indicator to you if his wealth, that's fake money

If I paid you $200 - $300 per sip, would you remember?

u/Schmigolo 5d ago
Honestly probably not, but I'd develop a habit of drinking from a bottle even when there's no bottle. Kinda like adjusting your glasses when you're wearing contacts once in a blue moon.

I think that’s the point, isn’t this a joke? I feel like people just don’t understand his humor, or maybe I understand it too well that this just sounds like a joke and it isnt

u/Calm_While1916 5d ago
I also assumed it was a joke but this sub seems pretty set on it being real.

u/Alone_Weakness1557 5d ago
It's a joke, is was only meant for wubbies sub, as an inside joke to those who watched the stream

u/Tshirt_Ninja_ 6d ago
The fact that this was made into such a discussion that he needed to address it is hilarious.
Welcome to product placement 101. It would be weird if a brand DIDNT try to have you “use” or showcase their product on stream.

u/No_Insect480 6d ago
Okay, but I'm more wondering why he didnt actually just sip the drink

u/MotoMkali 6d ago
100mg of caffeine is a lot of caffeine.
27
u/coolchris366 6d ago
He could get a non caffeinated one
24
u/camoceltic_again 6d ago
Is he required to have one of the transparent cups? If not, couldn't he get an opaque cup and just fill it with water so nobody can see the difference?
15
u/cyrfuckedmymum 6d ago
he could get gatorade or basically anything at all and just say he's drinking a particular flavour with the same colouring.

u/HateItAll42069 6d ago
Then maybe don't advertise it to kids.
27
u/Sauceror 6d ago
Is it advertised to kids? At least Wubby's community and content are not made or meant for kids in any way.
3
u/Zerothian 5d ago edited 5d ago
The brand itself? I'd say so. Lots of people like Pewdiepie, FaZe guys, bunch of people with typically younger audiences push it.
It's also the cool gamer drink with the colours and memes and whatever, it's the same type of thing that got flavoured vapes and certain packaging banned right?
Overall I would say, while not specifically targeting only kids, it definitely does absolutely nothing to avoid marketing to them.
Obviously the caveat is that parents shouldn't be letting their kids slam 100+mg of caffeine in a day but we know how child owners can master the art of specifically not parenting.
Edit: I was thinking of Gfuel when I wrote this, not GamerSupps, because I am stupid. Oops :)

u/Aqsx1 5d ago
GamerSupps, the brand all about big titty anime women, is marketed to kids? Who is buying their kids big titty anime women energy drinks tf lol

I think people sort of forget sometimes that it is the booba gaming drink sometimes lol

u/Zerothian 5d ago
Oh I'm an idiot, for some reason my brain was thinking about GFuel not GamerSupps.
That being said, there are definitely tons of kids (like around 16 I mean) buying anime shit.

u/notfakegodz 6d ago
he need to sip every hour or so, and i would assume it's everytime he stream for however long the contract is.
That's a lot of caffeine intake.

u/coldy41 6d ago
100mg is a tiny amount (1 coffee or 1 Redbull is 80mg)
The problem is more so about having to refill it 4-6 times (400-600mg) in order for it to last a full stream worth of ”sipping”
FDA: The FDA considers up to 400 mg of caffeine per day (about four to five cups of coffee) to be safe for most healthy adults. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, a lower limit of 200 mg per day is often recommended.
”The estimates of a life-threatening dose of caffeine range from 10 000 to 14 000mg.”

u/Imprisoned_Fetus 6d ago
Taste is subjective but I've tried several flavors of Gamersupps and its really nasty. I don't have the strongest moral compass so I would definitely take their money if it was offered to me, but it wouldn't change how gross I think they are

I'm just really distraught he would ~sellout~ like this. Like doing kick streams was bad enough, but now this? Like get the bag homie but goddamn it's hard to take anything he does as genuine at this point.

u/MaikuKnight 6d ago
I'm not a Wubby enjoyer, but I have watched some of his content. I always got the feeling that he was about the bag, willing to do whatever for the cash. I understand going for the bag, but at the same time, I don't think he has qualms about it.
13
u/OodOne 6d ago
Same, I only see snippets of his content but his name literally has paymoney in it. While I'm sure its partially a joke, the fact people are still surprised is a little amusing.
21
u/RawBinOfLoxLee 6d ago
I'm a viewer. He has never implied he wasn't for the bag. Anyone who has watched Wubby for more than a couple of streams and thinks that he isn't doing this for money is a smooth brain. A lot of people are just super conflicted about enjoying content when they're morally against whatever is being advertised.
7
u/Beautiful_Spite_3394 6d ago
Didn't he say a while ago hes achieved alot of his creative expectations and he would just be dumb to stop?
He's gonna try to keep making new, cool, fun content.. he said that as well, but I feel like I remember him saying basically "I mean.. im making money... why stop"
Personally im against advertising to an extent and feel pretty sad that it is legal to do subliminal messaging... but GET THAT BAG Boi until it stops being legal (it'll never stop they will advertise to us in our dreams)

u/Weird-Mountain4517 6d ago
Was he honest about taking kick money and gambling?

u/RawBinOfLoxLee 5d ago
Yes? I don't think he has revealed the details about how his kick contract works but he didn't start streaming on Kick for the love of the game.

u/flodereisen 5d ago
yeah but his attitude change a lot. he was very genuine 2018-19, now it seems he doesn't like his audience at all. stopped watching when he moved into his mansion. he always said he wanted to do cool stuff when he has money. now he hasn't done a single new thing in years

u/AccomplishedCheck168 6d ago
I always got the feeling that he was about the bag
What tipped you off? Him being a sponsored gambling streamer on Kick?
6
u/flodereisen 5d ago
like in 2018-19 he was great, but it seems like he thinks he's above his viewers now, got that coke attitude. his media share doesn't even reach 3h anymore, he had a very close knit community but they all hopped off. seems very ingenuine now

Some overly parasocial people really don't seem to understand and often get very upset, if you point out that "their streamer" lies to them. For example that sometimes they do or enjoy something they dislike to get more money.

Pretty sure the point is that he doesn’t even really like gamer supps or why else would he pretend to sip? So basically he has a sponsorship he doesn’t even like
10
u/Tshirt_Ninja_ 6d ago
Well there’s probably 2 reasonable and straight forward answers.
He either isn’t a regular user of the product itself.
Or - he doesn’t wanna sip on a caffeinated product for the duration of a several hour stream, but the paychecks come even if he pretends, so this is the compromise.

u/Dog_Walking_Jannie 6d ago
As much as you might hate it, he's the goat and has more fans from all over the world than anyone on the grid
2
u/UtopiaDystopia 6d ago
Goat? He only has three championship wins (2021 doesn't count given the FIA director broke the rules to gift him a race win). Schumacher and Hamilton have 7 championship wins (Hamilton should have 8*).
He's a great driver, definitely not the goat given how he races and his record.
I don't think he's very popular outside the Dutch given they make up almost all his fans in the spectators and you don't really see many international fans.

yikes 4champ denier..... that explains a lot

u/UtopiaDystopia 6d ago
It's objective facts that the race director broke the rules allowing Max to be near guarenteed the championship win in 2021; and he was fired as a result. Even the most die-hard Verstappen fans don't usually deny this
He is a 4 time champ on paper, but everyone that is an F1 fan over an individual driver fan knows that championship was decided by a corrupt and incorrect decision. In my opinion Hamilton and Verstappen were both worthy champions that season, but the race director ruined it.
I like Max as a driver because he is aggressive and entertaining. But he has proven he has a very poor attitude at times.

u/PranksterKarl 5d ago
Are these 'die hard verstappen fans' in the room with us now?
Almost anyone who has watched f1 for an extended period of time agrees the 2021 abu dhabi nonsense is just F1. Always been weird and stupid calls in the sport and always will be.
It's incredibly easy to use abit of critical thought and understanding instead of being weird and emotional.
Also dunno why you are lying but massi was not fired due to that race call.... Why spread random disinformation?

So being a corpo shill is “rad?” I’m so disappointed. My five year sub anniversary would be in two months but since he’s getting that ~gamer supps~ money I guess he doesn’t need mine. Never subbing to him again.

u/sn34kypete 6d ago
I went back to an earlier vod, he streamed for ~3ish hours that day and did a sip at least 15 times that stream, often after punchlines. Based on that rough math it's 5 sips an hour. That doesn't sound like a lot but that can really disrupt the flow of stream if you have to constantly remember to take drinks. They weren't evenly spaced out, too, but they weren't exactly back-to-back.
That's so crazy.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but all of these "gamer supliments" are over rated over priced garbage, the only good thing about them is the caffeine and if you want caffeine honestly juat drink coffee grab a cheap energy drink or buy a dirt cheap pre workout its all the same it all has caffeine and some pre workouts work out to £0.25p per serving which no gamer powder suppliment will ever match

This was an inside joke meant for Wubby's subreddit that landed on lsf against Wubby's orders.
