More about October 2024 streaming marathon

Neon’s decision to move out of Los Angeles follows multiple disruptions during his October 2024 streaming marathon, a 30-day event in which he planned to stream 24 hours a day.

During the marathon, police reportedly responded to a swatting call at the streamer’s rented home after a false report of a domestic incident or shooting, as reported by Dexerto on October 9, 2024.

While no one was harmed and the LAPD quickly realized it was a prank, the streamer said that neighbors then mobilized against him, filming the altercation and pushing for eviction. The situation was further complicated by the revocation of his filming license, which prevented the streamer and his team from legally continuing their content production in the city.

The streaming star described the experience as chaotic, saying that they had removed furniture to fit bunk beds for the stream participants, and faced a strict 24-hour deadline to vacate the property. In response, Neon said her organized a farewell event with DJs and performers, which was meant to mark the occasion before the marathon moved to Las Vegas with support from peers including FaZe Banks.

At the time of press, Neon has not revealed any more details about his latest re-location.
