Recently, Speed had to briefly stop streaming owing to a severe sinus infection last month that created substantial puffiness in his right eye. After recovering from the virus, he started broadcasting again on August 15.
Due to a medical issue, Speed was unable to stream for a considerable amount of time. Nevertheless, he celebrated attaining 19 million subscribers from his sick bed.
On August 16, when Speed resumed his streaming, he had an unexpected experience while playing “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” He reacted strongly and suddenly stood up, letting his shorts fall and briefly showing his private area. After the incident, Speed uttered the phrase “Oh, my god,” and appeared to end the stream.
Speed soon removed the video from his profile, and despite the fact that it technically violates YouTube’s rules, it is said that the platform has given him permission to keep publishing videos.
