Kai Cenat becomes the seventh streamer to have an all-time peak in active subscriptions amidst the subathon

It is safe to say that Kai Cenat, of all people, is the most privy to pushing the numbers on Twitch. 10 days since the AMP member started his first subathon, Kai has accumulated a career-high 117K (at the time of writing.) The figure should only rise since Kai will continue to stream for the rest of February 2023.

By accumulating over 117K subscribers, Kai has also become the streamer with the seventh-highest number of subscribers after passing Mark "RanbooLive's" 116K figure set in August 2021.

Kai Cenat becomes the seventh highest subscribed streamer, community reacts

As stated earlier, Kai Cenat is no stranger to breaking Twitch records. This is, in fact, the second time that the streamer has crossed the 100K subscriber mark in the space of a few months.

In October 2022, the AMP member crossed that figure for the first time. What makes this accomplishment more noteworthy is down to the fact that he achieved it without conducting a subathon.

This time, however, the streamer continues with his first subathon, which is certainly successful. In February, Kai also tops the list for most hours watched. At the time of writing, he has managed to garner over 18.7 million hours of watch time from his viewers, a solid four million ahead of second-placed Felix "xQc" (13.8 million hours).

Kai Cenat has quickly become among the most popular streamers within the online community.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
