Video taking off 12x its usual first day

Lacy turns down the ads, and core_fx's short runs eleven times past usual

The clip of the streamer cutting his stream ads, billed in the title as a $200K-a-month sacrifice, has viewers listing other streamers who already do the same.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 720,435 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (61,857).

Lacy Is Giving Up $200K A Month 😭💀Lacy Is Giving Up $200K A Month 😭💀

"Lacy Is Giving Up $200K A Month 😭💀" is the newest short on core_fx, a fan-edited clips channel. It takes moments from the streams of the Core Boys, the crew once known as FaZe, and adds subtitles, sound effects and edits. This time the moment is about money. Lacy tells his viewers he is cutting back the ads on his stream, and the title puts the price of that decision at $200K a month.

Fourteen hours after it went up, the short had passed half a million views. A new short here usually finds around 62,000 in its whole first day, so this one is on pace for more than eleven times that. The comments came in even faster, about seven times a usual full first day in just over half a day.

What the comment section mostly does is fact-check the premise. The most-liked reply lists Asmongold, Joe Bartolozzi and CaseOh as streamers who already keep their ads low. Another viewer points out that penguinz0 looks unimpressed. A few viewers note that the ads were turned down, not off. Others are simply amused. One viewer missed the announcement because an ad started playing just as Lacy made it.

The short leads a week of Core Boys clips that includes Ron and Lacy feeling bad for Shxrk, a video that is also well past a third of a million views. The channel's overall daily views are still running below their usual level, so this one clip is doing most of the work.
