xQc claims on YouTube Lawyer, ‘that’s just my thoughts’
In a recent YouTube video, a lawyer accused xQc of streaming content during his reaction videos. The legal educator, known online as Legal Eagle, posted an extensive video expressing his opinions on the matter.
The video, titled 'xQc Is Stealing Content (and So Are Most Reaction Streamers),' was shared with his over 3 million subscribers.
Legal Eagle acknowledged xQc's history of controversies and proceeded to discuss the nature of his reaction content, ““xQc is no stranger to controversy, and if anything, he revels in it,”
