In a plot twist that nobody saw coming, DDG officially changed his Twitch username from PontiacMadeDDG to simply DDG. This could easily go into history as one of the most unexpected flexes —having no weird words, no symbols, just three letters, and that's it.
For context, small usernames are against Twitch rules. Enters him: the VIP room is all ready—and fans are loving the spectacle. After Kai Cenat's account ban, this might be another shocker for Twitch viewers. If finding a unique username was a hobby, he just had his 'hold my beer' moment.
This ultra-minimalist flex is rare considering the rest of the world is still stuck with “xX_RealCherry123_Xx.” Meanwhile, the flex unfolds, and regular users are on a name-changing streak, trying their luck. Request tickets are obviously taking longer than their grocery bills to get solved, and as the users keep begging for their old usernames back, an automated reply pops up: “Sorry, unable to process your request.”
In the vast world of social media, even the smallest of celebrity stunts, like launching an album, coloring the hair grey, or changing a username, make fans go berserk. These are perfect jolts that rekindle the unpredictable, chaotic side of the internet. Who can forget IShowSpeed's backflips that sent the internet ablaze? or the funny experimental streak of B Lou and Zias that makes everyone question reality itself?
As the fun unfolds, let us take a look at the fan reactions:

At this point fans are wondering if he should already start his new side business: 'rename the username.'

man has had many careers in one
This whole username episode hits and gives a sarcastic slap to those who can't even get their names correct in Starbucks. Imagine this: it is Monday morning, you go to Starbucks, tell them your name is Sam, and five minutes later you’re walking out with a cup labeled “Slem.”
This social media user, @miapeachygirl, commented,
I can’t even get my name on Starbucks and he out here snatching usernames
An X user, @YNTJoshy, expressed,
Bro lowkey looks like this kid (absolute goat btw).
This netizen, @pramethicine17, commented,

Getting glazed by Twitch is rare
