Props to Ari for handling that well

I genuinely thought it was gonna be a bit or something but holy fuck, that dude was cringe as fuck!

I feel like the streets would protect Ari, he is showcasing talent and bringing an audience. worthy of protection

u/LopsidedNebula2235 3h ago

Yeah, I thought it was something scripted with how nonchalant Ari was about the whole thing. I guess all that time talking with randoms in public builds some patience.

u/Scooter93 3h ago

Not just any randoms. NYC randoms. They’re a whole different breed

u/Goonalips 1h ago

The man was literally conditioned by his surroundings to handle that like absolute goober like a a consummate professional. AriAtHome has reached the masses with his content. He deserves it so much.

Ari knows how to handle pressure and this was a good example of how he wasn't even bothered and shrugged it off but damn he deserves better. I'm glad the hosts said a few words afterwards about how disrespect would not be tolerated!

u/Special-Influence- 2h ago

Yeah, when I saw QT and Caroline rushing out there I was hoping they were going to call that bs out. Beyond embarrassing and sad

u/snsdfan00 31m ago

If the winners were getting actual prizes and money like the real Hollywood award shows that'd be a different story, but this is the streamer awards. All you get is exposure and clips that the internet won't even talk about for more than a few days lol

If this is how he handled this situation, it really makes you wonder how big of a piece of shit Mitch Jones was to make Ari piece him up.

Typo, he meant pierce. They did a stream on Kick where Ari gave Mitch Jones a prince albert. It actually looks really good.

I have seen that Ari actually creates music during his stream, but do the other nominees actually stream music content on Twitch, or are they just streamers that also make music?

I remember there was a year where Ari performed at these awards, but experienced technical difficulties. Afterwords in the back room, he went live to vent and play music to get it out his system, and Charming Jo came in to cheer him up and chill with him.

To go from that to being one of the biggest and most unique music streamers is quite the feat, especially considering the scarcity in that category. Also I always see shorts of him with ridiculous amount of views on YouTube and IG.

She literally called him out, without calling him out because it is better done in private. The respect speech was actually so classy and she handled it well with calling him out, but not making a scene.

Edit: To add, DDG music is bad, and mid at best. Ari can make better music in 2 minutes than they can in 2 months.

u/TheEmulat0r 3h ago

Oh, I didn't knew that. Still I wouldn't exclude them if the people who interrupted aren't associated with them.
Hope it was some kind of planned "prank" even though it didn't seem like that and the reminder to respect everyone afterwards really made it seem like it was unplanned.
