Just gonna throw it out there and say that Hootey seriously fucking rocks. I know during the closing he said that people describe the charity stream as his event and that it's more-so the effort of the community and stuff, but that dude really has been the backbone of every single charity stream nonstop. Dude's got a wife and young kid, a full time job outside of streaming, and yet his still manages to spearhead such a big event in a way that makes it sound effortless, while still showcasing how much time and care goes into it all. Of course the artists and streamers also play a vital role in bringing in the crowds and designing merchandise and everything, but at its core Hoots really knows how to motivate people to get involved with donating and helping others out in general.
Sorry to be such a sap on the farms, but hearing that this might presumably be Hootey's last charity stream made me a little more sad than i'd like to admit. Godspeed, Hoots, wherever life takes ya!
