"I fell on?": HasanAbi, Trainwreckstv, and others react to Streams Charts list of most watched American streamers in 2022

With 2022 coming to a close, Streams Charts have released their list of most-watched American streamers, with big names such as HasanAbi, Asmongold, and Trainwreckstv taking the top three slots. Other content creators, such as summit1g and Ludwig, have also commented on Twitter, as the list is indicative of who's currently trending in the streaming industry.

The views from both of Asmongold's accounts appear to have surpassed HasanAbi's numbers by a significant margin. Piker even reacted to it on today's stream. Donning a British accent, the streamer read a comment from the audience which asked him to scroll down:

After reading the tweet, HasanAbi was quite agitated and began drafting a response:
