Twitch is so many things to so many people: like all of the other social platforms, it’s a place where people who are mostly too online get creative. And that gets doubly interesting because all of the content is streamed live. Today, I came across an incredible clip from 88bitmusic — otherwise known as the musician Trevor Gomes — which was a full music video to Toto’s 1981 megahit “Africa” triggered by a donation of $45.67. (Yes, 4-5-6-7.) Take a look.
Here it is. Arguably the best(?), most absurd, most needlessly elaborate donation alert in Twitch history, which we debuted yesterday.
