Oof yeah. One time I was invited to a sponsored collab and I was SUPER excited. So I learned about the game I was asked to play. When we started to play I was immediately targeted by one person because I "knew how to play," so I essentially was unable to play the game because I kept getting voted off. Said person would sort of make mean remarks and I felt so uncomfortable. At one point it was just us (in the chat where people get voted off) and they didn't seem like they wanted to talk to me. To this day I feel so disheartened by that collab.
Do you guys have any bad collab experiences?
My worst one was a couple years ago with a VTuber. We were supposed to play Valorant together, but something came up on their end. They canceled less than an hour before we were scheduled to go live. I get that emergencies happen, so I reached out to reschedule… and got completely ghosted. A short while later, they even unfollowed me.
We had similar-sized audiences, so it wasn’t like I was a nobody to them. I was just left hanging with nothing. I hope they were okay, but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
