Kai Cenat crosses 70k subs, becomes the second most-subscribed Twitch streamer

Twitch sensation Kai Cenat has added yet another feather to his cap by becoming the second most-subbed streamer on Twitch with a whopping 70k subscribers.

The streamer achieved this feat only nine days after reaching 60k, which was an achievement in itself. According to Twitch Tracker, Kai Cenat is roughly 5k subscribers away from claiming the top spot in the list of most subbed streamers for the first time in his career.

Presently, Felix "xQc" is the holder of the top spot with 76k subs. The 20-year-old surpassed Spanish streamer Casimito, who currently holds the 3rd position with a count of just over 65k. Kai's achievement was widely shared by many Twitter users, including Jake Lucky:

Kai Cenat shares his reaction after reaching the figure

In a stream uploaded yesterday, the AMP house's member reached the figure of 70k. The AMP house includes other streamers and content creators such as JustFanum, ImDavisss, Duke Dennis, Agent 00, and Chrisnxtdoor. The group were seen celebrating Kai reaching 60k subs on his stream as well.

For those unaware, a Twitch subscription (subs) entitles an audience to exclusive emotes and other benefits from their favorite content creators. They are generally paid monthly, so they are constantly in flux (either increasing or decreasing), unlike followers, that generally move in a singular direction.

The streamer also took time to individually thank the subscribers by giving them a shoutout.

In addition to having a massive number of subscribers, Kai Cenat has also been attracting a large crowd. His last five streams crossed 50k concurrent viewers, with his celebratory stream crossing 73k at one point.

Fans react to the achievement

Kai is extremely popular among the Gen Z audience due to the excessive loud music and dancing that is involved in his stream. He is generally considered to be a part of a genre of streamers that has been termed the "W community." Reacting to his latest accomplishment, fans shared these reactions:

Although being a Twitch partner means that a percentage of the money earned from subs is given to the platform, a fan believes Kai Cenat probably earns $200-350k each month. According to Bio Overview, the streamer has a net worth of $1 million.

Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre.

Shreyan considers factual and accurate content to be the most important as a creator and a reader. He ensures this by double checking every piece of information in his articles and sourcing it from streamers directly rather than depend on third parties. His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

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.
