Summit1G Receives Heavy Criticism for Live Streaming with Jake Paul, Ignores Community

The Paul brothers have been the target of controversy over the last year or so, so when one of Twitch's biggest streamers, Jaryd Summit1G Lazar, teamed up with Jake Paul to play a game of Fortnite, he was met with heavy criticism.

Jake Paul is a prominent name on YouTube, with over 10 million subscribers. He is commonly known to use clickbait tactics for his videos, such as using images of Ninja, Fortnite's biggest streamer, in video thumbnails that never referenced him. His brother, Logan Paul, was met with extreme backlash when he released a video making fun of a dead body found in the suicide forests of Japan.

When Summit1G streamed a game of Fortnite with the YouTube sensation, his community responded with extreme negativity. Summit would respond defensively to the criticism.

Bro, you're disappointed that a guy is playing a video game with another human being that you happen to not like from a YouTube series, that you don't watch.

Relax, take a chill pill, go smoke a doobie if you need to. We're just chilling out playing some god damn Fortnite.

I'm not going to stand for this crap and I will start permabanning people, because according to me you guys seriously having problems with this, aren't part of the true 1G squad. You're part of that fake 1G squad.

When the YouTuber initially expressed interest in streaming, the Twitch broadcaster had defended the idea, believing it to be good for the growth of Twitch. While Summit's viewership continues to rise, the negativity appears to have taken a toll on him. At the time of writing this, the streamer is currently live streaming with the title "do not donate or sub. i also will not be reading chat. it's gonna be awkward."
