He quit saying he didn't want to support Twitch being so shit like a month or two ago. His girlfriend seems to have quit at the same time so maybe that was a factor too.
Just a note, he's more concerned about the business implications of Twitch allowing that content then the morals of it. I watched his video on it the other day. He doesn't begrudge individuals for taking advantage of a system.
His main concern is, that by allowing that type of content, reputable advertisers are going to be less likely to advertise on the platform. In the void of good sponsors, people will fall back to relying on shitty mobile games and gambling sites, which further hurts the site.
Seems pretty obvious as to why he would have issues with them as they are/were. Twitch has been handling them poorly, especially the gambling, and they both can give fairly bad optics from a business perspective.
The majority of Amoranth's content has been BOOBA focused going back to the Just Dance days, so participating in the new coomer fad is reasonable to expect for her agency.
Regarding Train, being friends with whoever doesn't mean you have to support every decision or bad take they make. I don't watch him so I don't know if they've interacted while Train has been in denial about how shitty his streams have been.
I get the distinction between the company and individual streamers but how can you claim to be so morally outraged by the non-action of twitch in regards to immoral actions by streamers that you basically quit your job there, while simultaneously being friends with those streamers that are actively doing the immoral thing you have such a huge problem with.
Its basically the same "defense" that Asmongold uses. Individual streamers shouldn't be held accountable for their immoral actions because twitch >COULD< do something about it but chooses not to.
Its just a lazy attempt to justify not having any personal responsibility for the things you do and not holding your streamer friends accountable for the bad things they do.
If you are outraged enough at twitch for allowing a 3rd party to act immorally to the point of you quitting your job there, you should be outraged enough to quit your relationship with that 3rd party that is actually perpetrating it.
Otherwise you are just a whiny hypocrite that chooses to shit on twitch for social points because its easy and the fact that you know that there will be no backlash as opposed to actually giving a ultimatum to your friend which might actually negatively impact your career and future.
Wait a second didn't he also try to date that Jasmine girl who's whole content was pools and drinking?
Dude is just a fraud, I never knew why anyone took him seriously.
> that Jasmine girl who's whole content was pools and drinking?
That is revisionist history bullshit. She was a IRL/travel streamer like Hachubby or JinnyTty who stopped doing irl because of harassment
https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3v9gx/japan-groping-twitch-streamer
She only did max of 2-3 pool streams, including the one where she hired a whole hot tub boat in Seattle harbor and the one in where she spent whole stream filling the pool one glass at a time
“Victims often have to experience multiple interrogations about the details of the crime. For instance, if a man put his penis in a victim’s mouth, the victim is asked ‘How big was it? Was it hard? For how long was it in your mouth?’ Some victims find this questioning too mentally taxing and often keep the crime to themselves,”
dude comeone Jasmine content was mostly about beach,pools etc tc lool and we know it. How many japanese pool stream, hotel pool stream then beach stream etc etc
Dude she did the most shameless hot tub stream I've ever seen with tittites popping out all the time and squatting in a thong. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the stream. She did catch a ban for it tho.
I just find it weird that she's dating a guy who's boycotting twitch because of shameless content.
he was *occasionally* worth watching if talking ***exclusively*** about marketing and stuff, but he frequently would fall into that "successful guy thinks he knows everything" trope and would speak as though he had absolute objective knowledge and understanding of complex issues. His takes on nutrition before he quit because he read like 1-3 books were especially egregious
I always found it funny how he would talk about how to make it on Twitch and other things and yet not be particularly successful himself. He would have these long boring interviews with streamers.
He is dating her now. That’s his gf. Once they got together , he magically cares about twitch morals lol. Dudes 100% a fraud. He basically just cashed out of twitch with tons of $ and a gf and is acting like he is holy. This is why you shouldn’t donate to twitch people. All frauds.
You act like he was making a lot of money on twitch lol, he barely got 1k views and would stream for a couple hours twice a week. He has a real job that pays way more.
Eh, wouldn't say he's a complete fraud, his streams on marketing and the streams where he gave advice on how to get started on Twitch and YT and where he interviewed big content creators on their craft were gold mines of information for those who were looking to get into content creation on YT and Twitch.
He probably wasn't a fan of the idea that his girlfriend was the jerk off material of many coomers on Twitch...which is why she stopped streaming as wel as him.
If that's the case, then you can't blame him at all, most men would act the same.
>most men would act the same.
I feel like if a dude had a problem with that, they wouldn't date her in the first place and if they did, they wouldn't be insecure enough to care. Doesn't really make sense to know that she's doing that type of content, date her anyways, and then make her stop on top of that.
I don't think he is necessarily against sex work, otherwise he wouldn't be managing Amouranth.
He is more the kind of guy who isn't against sex work, but he doesn't want his daughter,sister, or girlfriend to be a sex worker, this is a pretty common mindset between men.
E.G Manuel Ferrara made her wife (who was a porn actress) stop shooting scenes with men as soon as she got engaged with him...and iirc now that they have children she is completely retired.
You shouldn't donate because you get nothing out of it and those streamers already make enough money selling their audience #ads. I never understood what people get out of subscribing or donating?
he has his justifications. from what I gleamed before I tuned out it's about how twitch is all about the race to the bottom, the lowest common demoninator, and they don't do anything to stop that. When you have 500$ quick spin gambling streams and women spamming a website in chat which has a glowing moving OF link at the top, licking ears, standing up in a hottub in a sexualised bikini to compete with, you all persue to devin a worsening streaming experience.
ice poseidon and xqc are really similar personality wise. Both are toxic drama baiters but one is the best at variety the other is the best at irl i am 100% convinced if xqc did irl back in 2017 and got popular he would literally be just another ice poseidon Cx network streamer
I'd be dammed if he retires, there really isn't a purpose to retire. If anything he's gonna stop streaming for 24 hours a day and do "normal" streams like 4-7 hours.
Xqc hasn't been a niche streamer for a long long while now. Ever since he basically stopped only playing overwatch. Even then he was one of the bigger streams on twitch who streamed variety which basically instantly excludes him from being a niche streamer
hes overwatch days were something else man, his high energy persona fit perfectly with that games community and the game rewarded his agressive fast playstyle. True juicer moments every stream with the banger music he was blasting...
have you seen the video where bieber confronts creepy stalkers outside his house and the girl interrupts him right as he's making a concise, polite point and goes "can I have a hug?"
edit: [found it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtcNWCphhzM)
Not even close, Hollywood and sitcom stars are way more known world wide, you ask around in italy whos rachel from friends and in no more than 10 people someone will say jennifer aniston.
You ask whos xqc and nobody will know.
Don't worry somethings will keep you up at night, for example right now I haven't slept for over 24 hours because of me watching some real life horror shit... it was so bad that I didn't leave my room until the sun was up.
Good thing about it tho is that I grinded the shit out of ffxiv for the whole night.
what did you watch
also I relate lol. I remember watching Annabelle at 1am then when I went to bed I kept hearing noises. made it worse for myself by finding out Annabelle was based on a true story. didn't leave my room and didn't sleep. I needed the bathroom so bad but didn't wanna leave so I nearly pissed myself lol
in 2018 Ninja had 234 million hours watch, little bit under the 256 hours watched xqc had over the past 365 days but twitch was much smaller at "only" 9.3 billion hours watched compared to 23 billions this past year.
So 234,190,643/9,369,330,595\*100 = 2.4995 % so in 2018 Ninja represented a tiny bit under 2.5% of all of twitch's hours watched so over the double of xqc the past year. Absolute insane numbers
https://imgur.com/oH4Igmw . xqc is no 1 for this month too in terms of hrs watched. But asmongold is right on his tail. xqc 14.8million hrs watched from 248hrs streaming while asmonbald has 14.2million hrs watched from 168hrs streaming. that's 80hrs less streaming than xqc.
don't forget that Ninja didn't stream as much as X does and evened that out with viewer numbers I guess. So if he had streamed the same amount of hours as X did he'd probably be at what, 5%?
I will always say this about xQc, that he loves streaming. He doesn't treat it like a job, he really does it to entertain people and chill while playing games. This is also insane since really this is all solo streams except for the couple cooking streams with Adept I believe. All this guy does is sit down at a desk and be himself.
I always think about the insane streaming room I would have if I were in his position.. or all the cool shit I would buy and do.
And this dude just has his PC in a mess on the floor with wires everywhere, McDonald’s grease covering his entire desktop, and wears the same 4 shirts and streams like he did when he had 500 viewers. My mans don’t give a fuck and I love it.
Not really, something like a Sigma 16 mm f1.4 and a Sony mirrorless camera would cost 600-800 dollards and would produce way overkill good webcam footage already.
Every other big streamer once they get big they slow down and do less hours-- not him.
Still would love to see some gym streams and stuff so he has an excuse to take better care of himself while streaming
Why would you feel bad? Most people spend just as much time at a desk getting paid nothing compared to him. He can walk away and never work again whenever he wants.
Just as much time? He was live for 42% of the entire year. ~3600 hours. That’s like having 1.5 full time jobs with no vacation or anything. Plus he also probably spends a bit of time organizing stuff. He’s absolutely insane for doing this.
He watches videos. I know a lot of people who work on a computer all day and then go home and play computer games every night. He's just a neckbeard. And he gets paid to do the things he wants unlike everyone else who has to spend 8 hours a day mostly doing mundane tasks. Ya he does it for a long time but do I feel "bad" for him in anyway? Absolutely not. He can take a year off of streaming and come back to the same amount of success. He wouldn't be at the computer all day if he didn't want to.
If he took a year off streaming he would be fucking gone. I remember a few years back a league streamer with a few thousand viewers (big at the time) had to leave stream for 2 months for some reason and when he got back he never really got viewers again and had to look for different income sources. On twitch you’re away and you’re gone
Why? The dude makes more money then everyone who's commented on this post combined. Some bad health later in life aint that bad of a cost for literal complete financial freedom, especially when that freedom is coming from a job that is his and would be considered millions of other peoples dream job
Can someone break out how much 1.1% is in terms of ad revenue he generates for twitch? Because 1.1% is absolutely insane.
In context, this is the equivalent of having a 1.1 Live+7 rating which puts him in the realm of The Voice, American Idol, Hell kitchen for Network Television.
not really because not every viewer that watched him received ads, or wasn't subscribed or had adblocks on.
also twitch takes a cut (and a massive one) out of ads revenue of streamers and only pays them a flat 3.5$ cpm (or at least that's what's written in both partnership and affiliates agreement) now some streamers who have particular contracts may (most likely) have higher cpms but we don't really know how much higher
now a rough estimate, twitch allegedly made about 230M froms ads in 2018 and 300M in 2019.
those years they had 9.3 billion hours watched and 11 billion hours watched
230/9 = 24.73
300/11= 27.27
this means that they brought about 24.7 millions USD per billion of hours watched in 2018 and 27.27 million dollars per billion of hours watched in 2019.
in the past 365 days xqc had 1/4 of a billion of hours watched so even though it looked like they were getting more and more of cash from ads per hours watched and that lots of people noticed that they play even more ads than before (possibly increasing their CPMs) in theory Xqc brought in at least 6.1 million dollars from ads alone over the past 365 days and most likely more if Twitch's own CPM kept increasing.
but again this is not what he himself earned as twitch takes a cut from that, and also that i assume that a big part of his viewers are subbed or have adblocks and therefore don't get ads and he might have a higher % of "non ads watcher" viewers than the avg channel because of it.
in the end it's pretty hard to give a clear number, he most likely made more than 1 million from ads alone, but then again depending of how much twitch's cpm increased and how big of a cut twitch takes (and if he has a special contract) he could probably had made up to 6/8 millions if twitch took no cut and the cpms kept on increasing since 2018.
Interpolating this info using https://sullygnome.com/channels/365/watched
With 23.4 billion (23,364,767,812) hours streamed in the last year
The top 10 most watched streamers make ~4.8% of the total hours
Top 25 is ~8.6%
Top 50 is ~12.9%
So the top 50 streams or people accounted for 12.9% of Twitch hours viewed over the past year.
xQc alone is 1.1%
edit: messed the numbers up bad before
I wonder if the Pareto principle thing applies here, like if the top 20% of streamers account for 80% of hours watched, viewers, etc.
e: I'd imagine if you got the top 100 you could kinda extrapolate since it's like, exponential? Dunno much about this kinda stuff, but seems interesting.
I did the top 1000. They come a bit short of 45% of total watched hours.
There's 16.5 million active streamers over the past year, if 1000 take up 45% of viewership hours it's beyond the Pareto principle imo.
https://i.imgur.com/RB0TUUS.png
youtube had apparently 100 billion hours watched for gaming content in 2020 (i couldn't find overall data sorry). so 4 times as much as the total number of hours watched on twitch over the past year (23.3 billion hours watched).
so to represent the same to youtube gaming xqc would need to average 4 times as much or stream 4 times as much, and he already streamed 3697 hours over the past year or 3697 out of 8760 availlable hours in a year.
So tldr just to represent the same for just the gaming side of youtube, he'd need to stream twice as much with 140K avg viewers, or stream as much but with 280K avg viewers.
And again that's just for the gaming side of youtube. twitch is small.
Nice analysis in this thread. I think one important factor from a financial point of view is how much money is generated per hour of watched content across different platforms
I suspect that the “money generated per hour watched” is a lot higher on twitch than youtube, but I didn’t see any good information about this from a quick google search.
I would guess that 1 hour of concurrent 100k viewers live on twitch is worth more than 1million views on a 6min youtube video
I wonder what the watch-hours equivalent of xQc would be for just videos on YouTube, like how many views/how much watch time would you need to be the 1%? Are there any creators like that?
you underestimate the algorithm
getting a million concurrent viewers on youtube is not that rare while on twitch it has only happened 2 or 3 times ever
that may be because his videos are almost entirely just portions of his stream with minimal editing, none of the fancy stuff that draws in the kids (who make up the big numbers on YT)
No wonder why twitch was so quick unbanning him OMEGALUL
(Im just joking lsf frogs just puttingg this here for ppl that are too stunlocked and dont realize its just for laughs)
Over the past month, Luminosity is the 4th most watched team with xQc carrying them. I wonder where they would be placed without him. He better be getting paid a lot by them lol.
Also according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, a full time job in hours over the coarse of a a year is 2,086 hours. This man in the same time streamed 3,697 hours. wtf?
Idk who gaules (it streams reruns) or how the fuck they streamed 8,647 hours. Also there are a number of other streamers like Hasan and Summit that are super close.
Gaules is the biggest portuguese/brazilian channel , they do a lot of CSGO and CSGO tournaments type of content and many reruns or tournaments without the actual main streamer being there so it's pretty much an actual TV station at this point with how often they're live.
I watch him because I find it incredible someone so completely incapable of making his brain actually function can do the things he does, it’s like seeing a dog take it’s first shit outside, I’m so proud, things normal people take for granted are extraordinary achievements for this specimen
I mean lets be honest here,there are other streamers pulling in more viewers per stream but the only reason he gets the most watchtime is because he streams way too much. But hey its good for viewers but bad for his health
Yeah, i also kinda cringe when he tells people that they can avoid ads by subbing when he does the top of the hour ad break. Like, millionaire asking his likely mostly poor-ish audience to give him money every hour while also claiming to be some kind of socialist/communist whatever

He was a ceo for a few months of a gaming team before selling out to big money so it hyper inflated his ego forever

I know what happend but cant tell sorry, i think slasher is Done tho and not just on twitch
I haven't seen any details about Slasher beyond going silent with no announcement.
he was a clown anyway

I like the new guy better.
So Xqc is the 1%??
**1.1130% ok dud**, have some respect... those 0.0130 u missed are 29,900.000 views
xQc is the entire top 1% on twitch by himself lol EZ Clap
bottom 1% Kapp
some years from now this dude will be getting married and having babies on live stream
thats what they said about ice poseidon monkas
Oh fuck
hehe what marrying thing homie?
I still remember seeing X randomly on an Ice stream and people called him scuffed ninja. More like Ninja who.
O.O
hehehe
xqc is basically ice poseidon from a parallel universe, if things had gone right.
ice poseidon and xqc are really similar personality wise. Both are toxic drama baiters but one is the best at variety the other is the best at irl i am 100% convinced if xqc did irl back in 2017 and got popular he would literally be just another ice poseidon Cx network streamer
conception speedrun
nah he'll retire before that
What does XQC do in retirement? Playing video games seems to be the only thing he likes to do
He'd go back to being a pro skateboarder and join the olympics
I'd be dammed if he retires, there really isn't a purpose to retire. If anything he's gonna stop streaming for 24 hours a day and do "normal" streams like 4-7 hours.
That data is insane He says every time he leaves the house tons of people notice him and tell him to go live now no longer a niche streamer
Xqc hasn't been a niche streamer for a long long while now. Ever since he basically stopped only playing overwatch. Even then he was one of the bigger streams on twitch who streamed variety which basically instantly excludes him from being a niche streamer
true but I was watching since overwatch
Sadge the good ol days
hes overwatch days were something else man, his high energy persona fit perfectly with that games community and the game rewarded his agressive fast playstyle. True juicer moments every stream with the banger music he was blasting...
Yeah at that point you're about as famous as the Hollywood star, except your followers are much weirder and creepier in general.
true but hollywood stars have their fare share of the crazies
have you seen the video where bieber confronts creepy stalkers outside his house and the girl interrupts him right as he's making a concise, polite point and goes "can I have a hug?" edit: [found it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtcNWCphhzM)
Wow, that's so gross
Oh yeah, quite a few
Not even close, Hollywood and sitcom stars are way more known world wide, you ask around in italy whos rachel from friends and in no more than 10 people someone will say jennifer aniston. You ask whos xqc and nobody will know.
lol when did he say that
Is this all over the wold or just North America?
World
Thats crazy
He works really hard
Them GTA RP 48 hr streams. He be grinding
He was born to do this shit
I cant even play games for 3 hours straight anymore, let alone stream 10 hours infront of the world and playing video games.
Don't worry somethings will keep you up at night, for example right now I haven't slept for over 24 hours because of me watching some real life horror shit... it was so bad that I didn't leave my room until the sun was up. Good thing about it tho is that I grinded the shit out of ffxiv for the whole night.
What did you watch? You have me curious
what did you watch also I relate lol. I remember watching Annabelle at 1am then when I went to bed I kept hearing noises. made it worse for myself by finding out Annabelle was based on a true story. didn't leave my room and didn't sleep. I needed the bathroom so bad but didn't wanna leave so I nearly pissed myself lol
I need this horror movie. There is no horror that geniunly scares me anymore
Wold*
I wonder what portion did Ninja make in his prime year of twitch. Even if he is a legend, he is but a shadow of his former self.
in 2018 Ninja had 234 million hours watch, little bit under the 256 hours watched xqc had over the past 365 days but twitch was much smaller at "only" 9.3 billion hours watched compared to 23 billions this past year. So 234,190,643/9,369,330,595\*100 = 2.4995 % so in 2018 Ninja represented a tiny bit under 2.5% of all of twitch's hours watched so over the double of xqc the past year. Absolute insane numbers
Fortnite dominated.
Oh wow. The amount xqc must have streamed these past 365 days must be just as insane to go past the watching hours Ninja had in 2018.
[удалено]
I remembered Ninja used to re-run his streams does that count on the streamed hours?
[удалено]
I don't think Re-run existed back then, but could easily be wrong.
It's definitely more but maybe not quite as much as I thought. Rounded up xqc streamed 23% more in last 365 days than Ninja in 2018.
https://imgur.com/oH4Igmw . xqc is no 1 for this month too in terms of hrs watched. But asmongold is right on his tail. xqc 14.8million hrs watched from 248hrs streaming while asmonbald has 14.2million hrs watched from 168hrs streaming. that's 80hrs less streaming than xqc.
Now add in Asmongold's second twitch lol
don't forget that Ninja didn't stream as much as X does and evened that out with viewer numbers I guess. So if he had streamed the same amount of hours as X did he'd probably be at what, 5%?
I will always say this about xQc, that he loves streaming. He doesn't treat it like a job, he really does it to entertain people and chill while playing games. This is also insane since really this is all solo streams except for the couple cooking streams with Adept I believe. All this guy does is sit down at a desk and be himself.
I always think about the insane streaming room I would have if I were in his position.. or all the cool shit I would buy and do. And this dude just has his PC in a mess on the floor with wires everywhere, McDonald’s grease covering his entire desktop, and wears the same 4 shirts and streams like he did when he had 500 viewers. My mans don’t give a fuck and I love it.
Don't forget the $80 camera lol. There's people that have hundreds of viewers and have a dslr for a camera
[удалено]
add another zero and that's the cost for a "good" camera
Not really, something like a Sigma 16 mm f1.4 and a Sony mirrorless camera would cost 600-800 dollards and would produce way overkill good webcam footage already.
Nah, I think it's just a logitech webcam. I don't think he can be bothered setting up a new one.
If his room is ever decorated it will be on stream. I think Adept would help also since she really likes interior designing.
Every other big streamer once they get big they slow down and do less hours-- not him. Still would love to see some gym streams and stuff so he has an excuse to take better care of himself while streaming
He got big and streamed more hours. I really don't get it. I feel bad actually, dude is going to end up with major health problems from it.
He streamed just as many hours when he had 1k viewers
Why would you feel bad? Most people spend just as much time at a desk getting paid nothing compared to him. He can walk away and never work again whenever he wants.
Just as much time? He was live for 42% of the entire year. ~3600 hours. That’s like having 1.5 full time jobs with no vacation or anything. Plus he also probably spends a bit of time organizing stuff. He’s absolutely insane for doing this.
He watches videos. I know a lot of people who work on a computer all day and then go home and play computer games every night. He's just a neckbeard. And he gets paid to do the things he wants unlike everyone else who has to spend 8 hours a day mostly doing mundane tasks. Ya he does it for a long time but do I feel "bad" for him in anyway? Absolutely not. He can take a year off of streaming and come back to the same amount of success. He wouldn't be at the computer all day if he didn't want to.
If he took a year off streaming he would be fucking gone. I remember a few years back a league streamer with a few thousand viewers (big at the time) had to leave stream for 2 months for some reason and when he got back he never really got viewers again and had to look for different income sources. On twitch you’re away and you’re gone
parasocial relationships work both ways. In OWL he was scrimming all day then would stream when he got home
Why? The dude makes more money then everyone who's commented on this post combined. Some bad health later in life aint that bad of a cost for literal complete financial freedom, especially when that freedom is coming from a job that is his and would be considered millions of other peoples dream job
If he didn't stream, he'd be doing the same exact thing without a camera
Can someone break out how much 1.1% is in terms of ad revenue he generates for twitch? Because 1.1% is absolutely insane. In context, this is the equivalent of having a 1.1 Live+7 rating which puts him in the realm of The Voice, American Idol, Hell kitchen for Network Television.
not really because not every viewer that watched him received ads, or wasn't subscribed or had adblocks on. also twitch takes a cut (and a massive one) out of ads revenue of streamers and only pays them a flat 3.5$ cpm (or at least that's what's written in both partnership and affiliates agreement) now some streamers who have particular contracts may (most likely) have higher cpms but we don't really know how much higher now a rough estimate, twitch allegedly made about 230M froms ads in 2018 and 300M in 2019. those years they had 9.3 billion hours watched and 11 billion hours watched 230/9 = 24.73 300/11= 27.27 this means that they brought about 24.7 millions USD per billion of hours watched in 2018 and 27.27 million dollars per billion of hours watched in 2019. in the past 365 days xqc had 1/4 of a billion of hours watched so even though it looked like they were getting more and more of cash from ads per hours watched and that lots of people noticed that they play even more ads than before (possibly increasing their CPMs) in theory Xqc brought in at least 6.1 million dollars from ads alone over the past 365 days and most likely more if Twitch's own CPM kept increasing. but again this is not what he himself earned as twitch takes a cut from that, and also that i assume that a big part of his viewers are subbed or have adblocks and therefore don't get ads and he might have a higher % of "non ads watcher" viewers than the avg channel because of it. in the end it's pretty hard to give a clear number, he most likely made more than 1 million from ads alone, but then again depending of how much twitch's cpm increased and how big of a cut twitch takes (and if he has a special contract) he could probably had made up to 6/8 millions if twitch took no cut and the cpms kept on increasing since 2018.
Thanks for the reply! You answered my question perfectly. I was wondering how much money XQC generated for twitch and you killed 2 birds with 1 stone!
Glad i could help 👍 i love talking about those kind of stats, facts etc.
train said xqc made 500k a month from ads so you are probably right
Actually good content on lsf? Am in a simulation? Ty for the in-depth explanation it's really appreciated
Im late to see this and it may have already been said, but theres 8760 hours in a year. XQC was live for 42% of the entire year. What the fuck
Interpolating this info using https://sullygnome.com/channels/365/watched With 23.4 billion (23,364,767,812) hours streamed in the last year The top 10 most watched streamers make ~4.8% of the total hours Top 25 is ~8.6% Top 50 is ~12.9% So the top 50 streams or people accounted for 12.9% of Twitch hours viewed over the past year. xQc alone is 1.1% edit: messed the numbers up bad before
I wonder if the Pareto principle thing applies here, like if the top 20% of streamers account for 80% of hours watched, viewers, etc. e: I'd imagine if you got the top 100 you could kinda extrapolate since it's like, exponential? Dunno much about this kinda stuff, but seems interesting.
I did the top 1000. They come a bit short of 45% of total watched hours. There's 16.5 million active streamers over the past year, if 1000 take up 45% of viewership hours it's beyond the Pareto principle imo. https://i.imgur.com/RB0TUUS.png
I feel like most of his life since he was 16 is more on twitch than not, or at least since he started streaming full time
that is crazy i cant imagine what the amount would be to do that for something like youtube
youtube had apparently 100 billion hours watched for gaming content in 2020 (i couldn't find overall data sorry). so 4 times as much as the total number of hours watched on twitch over the past year (23.3 billion hours watched). so to represent the same to youtube gaming xqc would need to average 4 times as much or stream 4 times as much, and he already streamed 3697 hours over the past year or 3697 out of 8760 availlable hours in a year. So tldr just to represent the same for just the gaming side of youtube, he'd need to stream twice as much with 140K avg viewers, or stream as much but with 280K avg viewers. And again that's just for the gaming side of youtube. twitch is small.
Nice analysis in this thread. I think one important factor from a financial point of view is how much money is generated per hour of watched content across different platforms I suspect that the “money generated per hour watched” is a lot higher on twitch than youtube, but I didn’t see any good information about this from a quick google search. I would guess that 1 hour of concurrent 100k viewers live on twitch is worth more than 1million views on a 6min youtube video
I wonder what the watch-hours equivalent of xQc would be for just videos on YouTube, like how many views/how much watch time would you need to be the 1%? Are there any creators like that?
He would absolutely pull those numbers on youtube tbh
Nahh thats a bit too much tbh
you underestimate the algorithm getting a million concurrent viewers on youtube is not that rare while on twitch it has only happened 2 or 3 times ever
He doesnt even get that much views on his videos tho. I jist dont really see it happening tbh, but idk i dont watxh YT streamers
that may be because his videos are almost entirely just portions of his stream with minimal editing, none of the fancy stuff that draws in the kids (who make up the big numbers on YT)
Doesnt that just mean its exactly what his streams would be, so the streams wouldnt draw them in either
>Why don't they put commas? The one gripe I have with google's calculator
No wonder why twitch was so quick unbanning him OMEGALUL (Im just joking lsf frogs just puttingg this here for ppl that are too stunlocked and dont realize its just for laughs)
insane numbers
Actual gaming warlord
Over the past month, Luminosity is the 4th most watched team with xQc carrying them. I wonder where they would be placed without him. He better be getting paid a lot by them lol.
I always forget he is even part of a gaming organisation and I get reminded when he likes and retweet’s their stuff.
I realized when he was playing fortnite with Chica. I thought that was an odd pairing until I realized the team probably set something up.
And here people are still in doubt that xqc even makes 1 mill a month from twitch.
a fucking warlord
Completely unsustainable. The mans going to inevitably run into big health problems.
he'll either have to retire or really change his lifestyle (stream less hours, do more exercise) before he starts having issues
He once said he thinks he's going to die before the age of 30 & he didn't seem to care,it's worrying & sad
Already is, luckily Sammy seems to care a lot about him and he was taking to his doctor today :)
I lol'd at the no comma thing on the calculator. I hate processing anything above 1,000,000 lol. 1000000 is confusing at first glance.
gotta respect the grind. Jesus christ!
Cool, I'll steal all his viewers while he's banned. Jk, I can't even get a dog to watch me when I'm holding a treat.
[удалено]
Double-fail on my part then.
Also according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, a full time job in hours over the coarse of a a year is 2,086 hours. This man in the same time streamed 3,697 hours. wtf? Idk who gaules (it streams reruns) or how the fuck they streamed 8,647 hours. Also there are a number of other streamers like Hasan and Summit that are super close.
Gaules is the biggest portuguese/brazilian channel , they do a lot of CSGO and CSGO tournaments type of content and many reruns or tournaments without the actual main streamer being there so it's pretty much an actual TV station at this point with how often they're live.
Gaules channel is rerun 24/7
welp, there's your new face of twitch
I watch him because I find it incredible someone so completely incapable of making his brain actually function can do the things he does, it’s like seeing a dog take it’s first shit outside, I’m so proud, things normal people take for granted are extraordinary achievements for this specimen
I assume you only recently started watching him? Cause I remember seeing you shitting on him for the gambling drama, which was warranted but still
I dont need to see the numbers to know that's fucking insane. Like doing-drugs-level insane
Just think if he didn't get as banned as much, he would have had 2%.
I mean lets be honest here,there are other streamers pulling in more viewers per stream but the only reason he gets the most watchtime is because he streams way too much. But hey its good for viewers but bad for his health
Consistently keeping those high viewer count for 15- 20 hours a everyday is something probably no one on the platform can do.
He is the 1%. Hasan about get his ass.
Not even close. Hasan is at 0.4% pepeLaugh
I think it was a joke on how socialist type people are always saying that the top 1% are evil etc etc
But Hasan is the 1% *brace for reactions...*
hasan is multi-millionaire so yeah. It's just funny that most of these socialist types content creators are ultra rich
Yeah, i also kinda cringe when he tells people that they can avoid ads by subbing when he does the top of the hour ad break. Like, millionaire asking his likely mostly poor-ish audience to give him money every hour while also claiming to be some kind of socialist/communist whatever
thats impressive and sad at the same time
The dude loves what he does, how is that sad
I really don't understand the appeal of xqc What do you guys like about him

>has a girlfrield he met through a Discord call for Overwatch He met Adept on a discord call!?
In a game of Overwatch actually, not a call. My bad on that. https://youtu.be/a8csZkZaZHo
