People eager to apply didn’t wait for the application process to officially open. Videos and posts on X (formerly Twitter) showed individuals lining up outside the New York City location around 8 PM on June 11—over 16 hours early.

Initial pictures revealed a small gathering outside the building, but by midnight, the line had become much larger. Footage from the morning of June 12th showed a dense crowd filling the sidewalk, with creators, fans, and streamers all hoping to present their ideas.

A video showed New York City police responding to a fight between two people who were camping. The footage captured officers near the scene as the two individuals seemed to be arguing and physically confronting each other on the sidewalk.

Even with all the confusion, there were also some cheerful moments. For example, Nino Paid was giving food to people waiting, and many content creators filmed videos of themselves as they approached the event.
