Get ready for a new level of cringe!
Sometimes you've got to risk it to get the biscuit but at what cost?
An unnamed influencer recently had the most embarrassing train ride and it turns out that it might have been on purpose!
A woman, who was on a train full of commuters, decided it would be the right time to do a livestream on the social media platform Twitch.
The rest of the commuters were silently setting out on their own peaceful journeys when it was rudely interrupted by the followers comments.
At one point her phone starts reading out the comments of her viewers and continues broadcasting it for everyone to hear.
Some of the comments include insults directed at one of the passengers and some incredibly cringe sound effects.
Watch the video below and prepare yourself for some serious secondhand embarrassment:
While many who have watched the video agree that this is quite hard to watch considering the level of embarrassment, others were quick to point out that all of this could have been purposeful.

So it turns out that public streamers thrive on what is known as 'text-to-speech donations' in the industry which sees them embarrass themselves for financial donations.
We might be in need of a side hustle but you can count us out.
