TRY NOT TO LAUGH CHALLENGE (NOT EASY) - Summary

Summary

Here is a concise summary of the provided text:

**Context:** A streamer is live on YouTube, engaging in a challenge with their moderators (mods).

**Challenge:**
* The streamer offered their 20 mods a chance to win $10,000 each if they could make them laugh within 1 hour.
* The mods were to submit funny YouTube videos to achieve this.
* Later, the stakes were potentially doubled to $20,000, but with a shorter timeframe (until 5:15).

**Outcome:**
* The streamer claims to have been in a "giggly mood" initially but didn't laugh at the submitted videos (or pretended not to, to prolong the challenge).
* Eventually, the streamer reveals they were "cheating" by suppressing their laughter to extend the stream.
* The mods "win" the $10,000 each, totaling $20,000, as a consolation for the streamer's "headache", forgoing a usual "Pay the Mod Thursday" event.
