For non-polish people: Fame Mma was a freak-fight show with huge youtubers and streamers with a lot of drama, because Poland is smaller than, for example: America, most youtubers knew eachother and most viewers did too. That's why it worked.

it's so weird coming from Poland where this company is such a big deal, yet they can't behave professionaly abroad... The best part is no one here even knows about this and how huge of a scam it was. On the other hand I kinda understand that this was highly possible from the start, the whole story of FAME as a company is very interesting, from what we know it's owned by two polish social media stars - BOXDEL and Wojciech Gola and some bigger investors, but nobody really knows who has the most decisive power. What is known is that BOXDEL was present during the start of english project and tbh he always was kinda sketchy, dude has reinvented his youtube career like 5 times, he was involved in big dramas including selling fake Minecraft keys to kids during his early days, faking a lot of videos or allegedly being dishonest about donating money that was raised for a charity. PS: thanks for noticing my comment, I forgot to mention that FAME's rise to the top in Poland was very dodgy too, their first events were mainly focused on fights between polish streamers' sub-genre known as 'pato streamers'. What it means is that these creators' content was or still is all about swearing, drinking %, toxicity and in some cases even fighting on stream. Unfortunately, as sad as it is, this was probably one of the most popular content in Poland back in 2017. At the end of the day it certainly did some good for some of these guys, because they secured the bag and were able to switch over to normal streaming, but it definitely put a lot of unwanted spotlight on those pathological streams. After all of this came probably the most infamous fight out of all events between a midget and normally sized dude, that was described by a lot of media outlets as a hate circus. It's still debatable wheter it was letting this short but brave lad fulfill his dreams or just a disgusting cash grab from FAME's side of things.

[@PointsofData]

Oh so pato streamers are a bit like, for example, WingsofRedemption?

If a mob by ImAlexx causes someone's mental health to deteriorate and then your reaction is to mob Alex and cause his mental health to deteriorate, how are you any different to Alex?
