For streamers on live streaming video platform Twitch, the main source of income is donations made by viewers. When a viewer makes a donation, they can add a personalised message that is read aloud by a bot during the live stream. Last week, Burger King USA hijacked this feature and made small donations to streamers under the username The_King_Of_Stream_US. Each donation matched the price of a summer promotional offer, such as $1 for a mini-shake or $5 for a Whopper.
