Ninja and PewDiePie are two of the online communities' most widely recognized figures. Tyler, a seasoned Twitch veteran and the current holder of the most followers on the platform, earned an impressive $500,000 from Twitch alone. Remarkably, PewDiePie also garnered an identical figure of $500,000 in 2023.

This achievement positions both content creators at the top spot, jointly securing the first rank among streamers who earned the most through Twitch in 2023.

Tyler has been a presence on Twitch for almost a decade now, and currently, he streams across multiple platforms (since September 2022), such as YouTube, Kick, and even TikTok. He predominantly engages in Fortnite streams, the very game that propelled him to fame. Here's a link to his channel:

PewDiePie, the YouTube star with over 111 million subscribers, has recently delved into Twitch. However, unlike Tyler, his approach differs, as he doesn't engage in live streaming. Instead, his Twitch channel operates as an AI-run platform continuously (Always Run category), playing his older YouTube videos around the clock.

Felix is known for engaging in games like Minecraft and The Last of Us. Additionally, many of his YouTube videos featured him reacting to various types of content on the internet, which has also been reuploaded to his Twitch channel. Here is a link to his channel:
