Content creator collective AMP has announced the launch of a 30-day daily streaming marathon. The stream will start on July 1 at 3 PM EST, and will see AMP members streaming uninterrupted for 12 hours. The announcement was made through a cinematic video shared on social media (Instagram), which showed the crew members stranded in the middle of the Texas desert after their RV broke down.

The trailer starts off with an introduction of the crew (narrated by Agent 00), with all of them sporting a tired look on their faces due to the heat and exhaustion. Kai Cenat throws a fit in the background and disposes of the last remaining drop of water the group had, which brings even more hopelessness for the crew.

However, they are soon approached by a man riding a horse who entices them. The man is later revealed to be T-Pain, who promises to take them back to their destination of a streaming platform. The announcement of their upcoming streaming venture has caused a stir on social media, and in the process, has also quashed rumors of internal conflict within the group.


Fan reactions to AMP's recent announcement

The streaming crew has been relatively quiet in recent months, with individual members focusing on personal projects and sporadic content rather than their usual collaborative streams. Their last project was AMP Sumo Basketball, which was uploaded on social media platforms more than three weeks ago.

The crew's absence has been keenly felt by fans on social media as well, and the announcement sparked widespread trolling as fans took shots at the streamer collective for not being as active on streaming platforms. Others chose to poke fun at the trailer instead.

One fan commented:

"AMP is still a thing?"

Another fan remarked:

"This trailer is so confusing.. how did they end up there? where is the big crib at?"

Another fan wrote:

"I’m tired of seeing these corny a** trailers just to find out the streams they produce are never related and don’t live up to the expectations"

Others were not as upset at the announcement and took to social media to express their excitement at the initiative.

One fan opined:

"Streaming every day for 12 hours straight? Sounds like the perfect distraction from real life."

Another fan complimented:

"The social battery that takes is insane"

Yet another fan quipped:

"If I was a betting man I’d put everything on @ImDukeDeniis and say he isn’t doing 30 straight."

Another fan noted:

"Those kids are gonna be in their room watching ts the whole summer instead of going outside"

The news of AMP's next streaming project has been met with mixed responses on social media, though the majority still seems enthused by the prospect. T-Pain's involvement in the trailer has also caused widespread speculation, and given the recent announcement of T-Pain's 20th anniversary tour celebrating his debut album, he could also prove to be a credible option to feature in the streams as a regular fixture.
