She highlighted that the video only received views, but she did not make money out of it. Explaining why she did not get any money, Springer said, "I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views. It's not monetised."

28-year-old Springer further said that she was hoping to see herself on the big screen, and that's why she was capturing everything. “In the moment when I filmed it, I didn’t think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering. There were over 50,000 people at the concert, so it was a hot topic.”

Earlier, Springer said that it makes her feel bad now that it has turned their lives upside down. “A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” Springer said.
