IShowSpeed’s 20 million subscribers celebration stunt left the community in shock
IShowSpeed was able to grow his YouTube fan base by a million more subscribers in just a few weeks. His celebrations suffered a temporary halt when his fans trolled him by unsubscribing in bulk. But IShowSpeed eventually crossed 20 million subs. Upon receiving the news, Speed expressed his love for everyone and asked his fans to live to the fullest.
After his short celebration speech standing over a table, he literally jumped toward his livestream setup. The screen went blank, but Speed’s voice could be heard wheezing in pain in the background. Immediately after, fans heard another voice that asked the YouTuber to stay still before calling 911. What happened next is still a mystery.

The YouTube and Twitter community were completely shocked when they heard about Speed’s accident. Although people were really happy about his achievement, they wanted him not to hurt himself and end up in the hospital.
The community is sure that Speed made fun of himself in front of the audience. Multiple people proceeded to call him weird and crazy. A commenter stated that Speed must think of himself as Superman. While another mentioned that he was taking way too much risk for 6-year-olds. A Twitter user called Speed a pedophile and asked how he still has this platform, while Twitter User FryeGuy stepped it up a notch and wrote, “What if that’s all we see of Speed ever again officially”.
How does this pedophile still have a platform?
