A Twitch streamer got into hot water with Uber and Lyft over the weekend after both companies apparently caught onto his scheme of streaming his rides to an audience.

Streamer JustSmurf maintained a part-time gig as a driver for Uber and Lyft. During his drives around St. Louis, he streamed himself squiring his passengers around the city — sometimes without their knowledge or consent. According to the St Louis Post-Dispatch, his viewers would frequently disparage his passengers, whose names and locations were sometimes revealed.
