Twitch’s Closet Challenge: A Journey into Darkness…Literally!
Ah, Twitch. It’s the go-to platform for all things gaming, with a dash of randomness sprinkled in for good measure. But did you know that Twitch wasn’t always the wacky wonderland it is today? Let’s take a trip down memory lane and explore how Twitch went from a gaming-centric platform to the wild and unpredictable beast it is now.
Back in the early days, Twitch was all about gaming. It was like a virtual arcade, with streamers showcasing their gaming skills to the world. But it wasn’t until 2016 that things really started to change. Twitch decided to embrace non-gaming content, opening the floodgates to a whole new world of possibilities. Suddenly, categories like Just Chatting, IRL, Music, and Creative emerged, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives of their favorite streamers beyond the realms of gaming.
One of the most popular categories to emerge from this new era was IRL (In Real Life). It quickly became a hotbed for unique and entertaining content. From Ludwig’s record-breaking subathon to pets playing video games, and even the mind-boggling Dark Closet Challenge, IRL streamers found innovative ways to captivate their audience. But how did these strange challenges come to be? Strap in, folks, it’s gonna get weird.
Remember those challenges where people willingly subject themselves to hours of darkness? Yeah, they’ve been around for a while. Back in 2019, a poker player named Rich Alati attempted to sit in the dark for a whole month in exchange for a cool $100,000. He managed to last 20 days before throwing in the towel. And it’s not just him trying out the bizarre and the extreme. YouTubers like Mr. Beast have been promoting similar crazy antics, like acting like NPCs on TikTok. Seriously, it’s a thing now. It’s like a whole new form of supply and demand.
But let’s focus on the main event: the Twitch Closet Challenge. This viral sensation took the internet by storm when streamer ERBY bet his moderator, C0usta, that he couldn’t stay inside a pitch-black closet for three whole days. And what was the prize for this Herculean effort, you ask? A 2005 Chevrolet Suburban car! Talk about motivation.

For three grueling days, C0usta battled boredom and the overwhelming darkness. But that wasn’t all. Every time a subscriber goal was reached, C0usta endured flashing lights and even got surprised with a fast food meal for amassing 2,500 subscribers. It was a wild ride, but unfortunately, at the 20-hour mark, C0usta threw in the towel. The car slipped through his fingers, but his glorious failure caught the attention of yet another streamer, Izidore.
Now, Izidore is no stranger to mind-bending challenges. This guy has eaten a whole stick of butter and refused to end his stream until he conquered every inch of Minecraft. It’s safe to say he loves pushing his limits. So, just a day after C0usta’s attempt, Izidore bravely stepped up to take on the closet challenge.
Armed with ping pong balls, flash bangs, water shooters, and even a leaf blower, Izidore delved into the darkness with admirable determination. But alas, the chaos was too much to handle. Tearfully, he explained to his audience how the lack of air, sleep, and vision was taking a toll on his well-being. Eventually, he had to tap out, succumbing to a panic attack. It probably didn’t help that getting flash banged only cost a mere 25 cents, making it rain punishment with each subscriber milestone.
While Izidore’s journey may not have ended in triumph, it certainly put his name in the spotlight. Unfortunately, it also took a toll on his mental health. Pokimane, a fellow Twitch streamer, raised an important question about the impact of these brutal challenges and subathons on human well-being. But you know what they say, the show must go on! Some Twitch streamers live for the thrill, regardless of the consequences.
So, there you have it, the bizarre tale of Twitch’s Closet Challenge. It’s a journey into darkness, quite literally. From gaming-focused beginnings to the wild world of IRL streaming, Twitch has evolved into a platform that never fails to surprise us. So buckle up, gamers, because who knows what crazy antics lie ahead. Just remember to take care of yourself, both in the virtual realm and in the real world. Stay weird, Twitch!
