Sodapoppin Plays VRChat For The First Time

Chance Morris is an American vlogger, online gamer and social media personality known by the online moniker Sodapoppin”. One such example of this can be seen when popular Twitch streamer Thomas Jefferson Chance Morris, better known as Sodapoppin, dropped $5,000 on a single hand of online blackjack Streaming the game to over 40,000 fans at the time, the high-stakes hand was ultimately lost, draining the $5,000 from Sodapoppin's personal funds.

In fact, he was one of the first Twitch streamers to be ever successful in the platform. Popular sites allowing players to win weapon skins in games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive became extremely profitable and popular. As The Daily Dot pointed out a couple of years ago, in 2013 a mysterious user named "Amhai" started showering streamers who were mainly playing World of Warcraft's Mists of Pandaria expansion with massive piles of cash.

When you take into account the fact that 1.4 million people may be viewing his gameplay of a new or independent game, the money seems like a smart investment for a gaming company. Morris gets most of his views from his Sodapoppin YouTube channel, where fans can watch him play live.

While streamer Jaryd "Summit1g" Lazar is known for his charismatic personality and makes a steady income through subscribers and ad revenue ( totaling around $200K per year ), one of his most memorable financial successes came during a Counter-Strike livestream.

With his high status, he's also known for hosting small Twitch streamers so that they can gain traction in the streaming world as well. Twitch as a platform is focused largely on video game streams, but there is a large community of 'IRL' (In Real Life) streamers and an even larger audience for their content.

He's funny a lot of times and was one of the first streamers to popularize the overwatch term POG” which would become a natural slang for the Twitch community. But deciding to brave the unknown, Timmac made the shift to a full-time streamer, quitting his IT job to convert his skills to Twitch.

As per Twitch's policy, one of the easiest ways to get banned from the streaming site is by posting personal information for the public to see (whether your own or someone else's). It wasn't long before his viewers started suggesting he make streaming his full time job.

However, as the video game section became larger, eventually dwarfing IRL streams, the site changed focus entirely. Summit1G is one of the most watched Twitch streamers who, like many other casters, is trying to get in on the Fortnite action. At one point, YouTuber Mr. Beast , who is known for donating large sums of money to random Twitch streamers, even showed up at Tfue's house and promised to give him $500 for every kill he made in Fortnite.

Of course, online blackjack doesn't give you the chance to count cards and make $millions the way the MIT crew did in their infamous runs on the live casinos - although this incredible tale almost certainly drew thousands of players towards the already massively-popular game.

He has grown his following to be among the top 20 most followed streamers. As a youngster, Chance Morris had a great penchant for Xbox games. Before making Twitch his full-time job, Michael "Imaqtpie" Santana was a professional competitive gamer. There are a lot of streamers who actually don't interact much with their followers but for Chance, he makes sure they're all like brothers and sisters.

Unlike some streamers dedicated to one game category, he just rolls whatever he wants and his followers just go along with it. Viewers don't really pay much attention to his pro” skills when it comes to games but rather the whole presence of Chance Morris himself while playing.
