Cuffem's treadmill incentive has now reached new heights, or rather lengths, as the fans won't stop donating to keep him running like a hamster. His simple idea was to ask fans to donate money to run on a treadmill, and he'd stop running only when the donations dried up. Dried up, they haven't, and Cuffem is still running like a madman on the treadmill.

The news sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with fans laughing mirthfully at the absurd turn of events.


Cuffem's latest treadmill incentive sends fans into a frenzy

The idea was simple enough, and when Cuffem would've thought of the idea, he must've thought to himself that nothing could go wrong. Turns out, it could. He failed to account for fans' penchant for the dramatic, and the plan has now come back to bite him in the face.

When the clip went viral on social media, fans broke into a bout of laughter as they basked in the chaos they'd created:

"People want Bro to lose all that in a day istg", joked one fan (via X / @Kaze_no_Katana)
"Cuffem’s about to turn into a marathon runner at this rate", quipped another (via X / @Soulbound_TV)

While some users did empathize with the Twitch streamer, others only contributed to the chaos by claiming it was for his own benefit. Netizens were having the time of their lives on social media even as Cuffem's legs gave out multiple times on the stream. But the real hilarity came when fans started roasting his treadmill routine—or lack thereof:

"Running on a treadmill w/o shoes and with a sheisty is diabolical", mocked one fan (via X / @Afrophileee)
"Bro has money and he buys the cheapest treadmill on amazon", trolled another (via X / @suayrez)

The madness didn't stop there as netizens turned the Twitch streamer into the internet's favorite punching bag. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Usain Bolt to even Forrest Gump, Cuffem was given sorts of monikers from fans:

"Cuffem built like chowder", joked another (via X / @kagenokenja)

Amid the chaos. One seemed genuinely worried. Not for Cuffem, but for the treadmill instead:

Another fan poked fun at the absurdity of the situation, which became a testament to the power of a community equipped with a thirst for chaos:

"The world really is becoming an episode of Black Mirror"

We really doubt if he'll ever want to even be within touching distance of a treadmill once this is over!


Cuffem's latest treadmill incentive brought a lot of donations to his channel, as well as hilarity. He probably underestimated the fans' appetite for the absurd and overestimated his own capabilities - what was meant to be a cute little stunt turned into a full-blown endurance test, and the streamer was the unwilling star of the show.

As for Cuffem, he’s probably sworn off treadmills for the foreseeable future, but his viewers are already scheming for the next stunt.
