I made a post not too long ago about the same thing. Why TTVers are so hated in Tarkov. But this story just baffles me more than my last rant.
TLDR; killed a TTVer on stream and he mass reported my YT and videos before banning me from his Twitch chat.
I was running nighttime interchange going for my PMC kills for chumming and ended up running into a 4 man at tech light. I hid by the little concrete divider thing at the top of the escalator to tech light and listen to the footsteps. I readied an impact and by the time I was noticed I had already thrown it into tech and killed what I thought was all of them. (It didn’t blow up on impact though. It bounced before exploding like a regular grenade for some reason.) When I went to greedily loot up I was sprayed by a UMP that somehow missed every shot but 2 at point blank range and when they clicked I killed them with my USP. After looting up I was doing surgery and noticed that two of the 4 had TTV in their name so I put their tags up my butt for safe keeping. After raid I was unloading their gear while looking them up on my other monitor. The first person only had a few followers and didn’t stream but the second person was live with a dozen or so viewers and when I checked him out I saw him on my YouTube channel. I thought oh that’s pretty cool. He’s checking me out after looking up my name. At the time my name had “YT” at the end of it but I have since changed it to something not correlated with my online presence because of this. I unmuted the stream and it turned out that all the TTVer and his buddies weren’t on my channel to check it out or anything. They were all coming together to report my account and videos. Keep in mind that this was like 20ish minutes after I killed them in raid so it’s not like they were only on my channel for a minute looking at it, for the past 20 minutes they’ve all been shit talking me and my content while going through all my videos and reporting them and the guy streaming was having his viewers do the same. And of course when I type in chat to say “GGs the salt is real” I am immediately banned from their chat and called a rat and a “lonely mfer that lives in my parents basement making videos.” And then proceeded to say how desperate I must be to advertise in my Tarkov name. Like isn’t it the exact same as you putting TTV at the end of yours? And I can’t even defend myself since I can’t type in chat. So now I have to sit back while getting mass reported and there’s nothing I can do.
It’s a shame that most of the TTVers I’ve come across are like this because I’ve met some pretty cool TTVers as well. It’s just that most of them fulfill the stereotype of being shitty people. Taking trash after dying is one thing but sabotaging someone’s online presence is another thing. How salty do you have to be to do that?
Edit: checked the VOD and they all reported me for cheating. The guy with the UMP even said I have god mode hacks 🙂
