Streamer Trainwreck Faces Criticism For NFT Purchase and Business Practices
Popular streamer Trainwreck recently faced backlash for his latest NFT purchase, with critics raising concerns about the environmental impact of NFTs. Trainwreck took to Twitter to showcase his new purchase, but instead of receiving praise, he found himself at the center of controversy.
Trainwreck’s tweet criticizing fans of Minecraft content creators Dream and Karl Jacobs further fueled the fire. He called out Minecraft stans, comparing them to the NFT community and their obsessive behavior. The tweet triggered widespread backlash and sparked a heated discussion on the platform.
One Twitter user came forward with claims of being ghosted by Trainwreck after creating a graphic design for merchandise. Screenshots of their DM conversation were shared, revealing the artist’s inquiries about payment for the artwork. It appeared that Trainwreck stopped responding to the artist after seeing the draft.
Trainwreck refuted the claims and denied promising payment for unused designs. He also criticized the artist’s work, labeling it as ‘PG’ and repeatedly pointing out the misspelling of his name as ‘Trainwrecks’.
Trainwreck’s business practices have drawn criticism from the online art community, particularly regarding his stance on payment. Artists took advantage of the Twitter thread to promote themselves and their work while the dispute continued. Although no resolution was reached, it seems that the dust has settled for now.
