Streamer University line: the line ends in the rain.

Shot in June 2026.

Kai Cenat’s Streamer University audition day in New York is over, and the rain has come down hard. The people still on the sidewalk are soaked and in no hurry to leave. The host is happy with the day: “We shot mad content. We talked to mad people.” Two men who stood out in the downpour want one thing from Kai Cenat: “Part 2, gang. Simple as that. Part 2. We need that immediately.”

Two streamers from New Jersey say IRL is the easy part and a desktop stream is the skill to master, and one of them explains why she does it at all: “I feel like my community is like my family.” Another man blames the weather on the ending: “you made the streaming gods mad, bro. You ended it a little bit too early.” Then, straight after: “Hey, regardless though, we’re grateful for the opportunity.”

Asked for a message for the city: “My message for the city is, man, always keep believing. Believing in your dreams. Don’t give up.” Someone reminds the people who were turned away that it is not over: “Y’all can still apply online.” The last stops are a creator who has only just started and a man from Maine who asks what Kai has done for the culture. The answer he gets: “Hey, he made me.”
