You can find hundreds of streamers on Twitch and Youtube but only the most popular Twitch streamers will rise up.
The most popular Twitch streamers command a strong following, as well as bring quality content to viewers. The most popular Twitch streamers have even been recognized by news outlets as being influential members from the platform.
The larger question, though, is how they got there. Each of the most popular Twitch streamers has their own style and niche that they fill to bring entertainment and enjoyment to followers. Here are the most popular Twitch streamers by followers.
*NOTE: we’ll be leaving off companies and groups, such as Riot Games, and focusing on individual streamers.
