Popular Rumble content creator Nicolas "Sneako" has voiced his disappointment with the streaming community for failing to acknowledge or respond to birthday invites sent by disabled Kick streamer Jake Future.
Jake, known for his collaborations with Adin Ross, reportedly reached out to several streamers, including former collaborators, but received no replies or birthday wishes.
"My assistant's saying no to say this, but I have to say it," Sneako stated in a live stream. "That blew my mind seeing no streamer, not only not show up because I understand it's out of the way, but not even respond to his birthday invite. It's not even anyone specific; some people are singling out the people he collabs with frequently, but Jake messaged every streamer... Not even a reply! Not even a happy birthday!"
Jake Future, who faces additional challenges due to his disability, reportedly went through great effort to send the invitations, a fact Sneako highlighted during his broadcast.
"I was telling my assistant, the crazy part is, I know how difficult it is for Jake to even send a message. For him to unlock his phone, to press in the photos, to send... that's ten times, a hundred times the effort it takes us. For him, it's genuine effort."
Sneako, who has previously collaborated with Jake on basketball broadcasts, was the only streamer who attended Jake’s birthday party.
However, he expressed his frustration with the broader streaming industry, saying, "The industry is fake; people know that, but this is dark. Dark."
Adding to the occasion, Adin Ross, a frequent collaborator of Jake Future, promised to buy him a luxury watch for his birthday.
However, Sneako’s callout has sparked a conversation online about the disconnect between public collaborations and private interactions in the streaming industry.
Sneako’s remarks come as the streaming world faces criticism for its lack of authenticity, with fans and streamers alike debating the ethics of ignoring personal connections in favor of professional optics.
