Just curious how some streamers feel confortable ordering food delivery. Sure, maybe a normal person doesn’t really have much enemies to warrant getting poisoned, but when streamers do it, I feel like somebody is gonna leak their address or they are get food poisoned.
Or do streamers just have a friend/relative deliver food to them? (Because I’m getting the impression that most of them just use the normal delivery apps)
I kinda put it in the same category as holloween candy. Everybody thinks it’s possible and has a fear of it. But no one does it or at least there has never been a recorded case of it.
As a delivery driver I ain’t gonna poison anyone, but I don’t like the idea of prison, or hurting people in general really
When is the last time you heard of someone getting intentionally poisoned by a delivery driver? Id be surprised if its happened. Let alone happened in a targeted attack because the person is ‘famous’. Also most streamers are orders of magnitude away from being as famous as their fans seem to think they are. Normal people dont care about your favorite streamer.
Plus, like with Marilyn Monroe, their personality on stream is generally a persona of sorts. They’re going to be very different collecting food and paying for it on their own, compared to when they’re in front of an audience.
You’d be more inclined to think that someone who looked a bit like the streamer received the food.
Streamers often have food dropped off at their door, so even if the delivery driver knew of the streamer they were delivering to, they wouldn’t know that’s who they’re dropping the food off for.
Big streamers are paranoid enough to take extra security measures to prevent anyone from knowing where they live, and usually move away pretty quickly if someone finds out.
I don’t think the odds are calculable. But once you’ve reached a certain level of fame, some good historic knowledge of how to protect yourself from unwanted attention will surely kick in. You don’t want to get SWAT teamed, so I suppose you try to keep your address undoxxed. And I guess you could use an alias on your delivery app.
I think you may also be overestimating the level of fame of streamers. They’ll be world famous within their bubble but two feet away from it nobody knows who they are. The odds are probably in their favor that the uber eats driver doesn’t know or care who they are.
More importantly even then… IE there’s absolutely been cases of streamers attracting crazy stalkers etc…
But proportionally they are extremely few. Would be insanely unlikely for the kind of person that’s obsessed with them, also being a door dash driver, happening to have come across the streamers address. (from my recolection of my very brief time helping my GF door dash, when deciding which jobs to take, you only get the restraunt and the distance, only learn where the delivery is going after.
So hypothetically even if I knew Logan Pauls address. I’d have to camp out near restaurants near him… time my working when he might be ordering, guess which restaurant he’s ordering from… Honestly it seems like a plan that would take years to hit all the boxes to go with… probably more efficiant to camp out on streets I think he’d walk down or break in to his house the old fashioned way if I already had that level of information.
Yeah, it would be easier to just fake being a delivery driver and drop off tainted food and act like somebody else ordered it. The odds of a driver being able to target someone specific with a legit order are very low.
That said, don’t eat random food you didn’t order!
or just become someone a little crazy like sniperwolf.
I don’t do food deliveries anymore but when I did, almost always did the food come in a paper bag that had a sticker over it which would let you know if someone tampered with it after the food was prepared, i.e. the driver. The drinks also came with a sticker over the top of it to cover both the lid and the insert for the straw so you’d know if someone removed it.
I’ve gotten them recently when doing curbside pickups at places like McDonald’s too.
I think streamers would know their food was tampered with. Unless someone was extremely careful, but that’s difficult when dealing with the paper bags and stickers.
I’d suggest not doing it as someone might remember this post and put two-and-two together.
Even as someone who is on the internet and watches streams everyday, do you recognize every streamer’s face? Of course not, just the ones you watch. There are people who don’t watch any of them (I’m one of them) and so only know about a few because they see clips of or references to them once in a while or w/e. I could deliver doordash to 100 different streamers every day and it’d probably be weeks or months before I recognized one, and I’m online pretty much nonstop so I have a lot more exposure than most people who don’t watch them.
There’s also a difference between some 100 viewer Andy on Twitch, and someone like Kai Cenat or Pokimane or xQc. Those are some recognizable names and faces, and they take precautions about this stuff. They have assistants and other staff that nobody would ever recognize.
Yet I have never heard any of those names before. If you ask a random person on the street you’d be better off putting your money on them not knowing those names, let alone the corresponding faces.
Some of them are popular enough to have 100k concurrent viewers. Some have had multiple stalkers and threats on their lives. When they go out and do IRL streams, they have to hire security. Some of them have contracts for stupid amounts of money. we’re talking 9 digits.
The average person may not know who they are, but all it takes is one coincidence to put their lives at risk.
This is a bit take tho.
Bet theres a horror movie thst some out where a delivery diver poisons victims.
Except delivery people are registered and tracked. Someone would notice the first time someone died… or possibly even the first time someone got sick.
Unless it was a toxic buildup over time.
More likely to be the person bagging the delivery, because anyone on shift could do it there.
I don’t know, but keep asking this question. These businesses are a scourge.
