Nobody is immune to typos. Twitch streamer herokerrey learned this the hard way when she accidentally coined a new name for the platform during a recent charity stream. She was acknowledging a donation from Twitch itself by writing the company’s name on her forehead with a marker.
Then, excitement got the better of her typing skills. Instead of “Twitch,” the streamer excitedly typed “Twith,” instantly creating a new meme. The chat exploded with laughter and good-natured ribbing as viewers caught onto the mistake.
Mods, community members, and viewers jumped on the bandwagon, embracing the meme by deliberately using “Twith” in their messages. The typo spread like wildfire, proving once again that the internet moves at the speed of fun.
But the best came when Twitch itself decided to join in on the joke. The streaming platform changed their X profile picture to reflect the “Twith” misspelling. This swift response delighted users across platform and shows that Twitch is actually quite engaged with their community.
Charity streams have become a cornerstone of Twitch’s community-building efforts, often bringing together thousands of viewers for a good cause. These events not only raise funds, but also create some of streaming’s most memorable moments.
Twitch’s lighthearted response to the typo shows how dedicated they are to staying connected with their users. By joining in on the joke, they demonstrate their respect for the community and prove that they’re more than just a big company.
The “Twith” meme reminds us how spontaneous moments can be some of the best. And maybe “Twith” will stick around as an affectionate nickname for the platform. After all, in the world of streaming, anything can happen.
