With the acute popularity of livestreaming and content creation, everyone has the same question: Who is the biggest streamer? Livestreaming and content related to gaming has gained a large amount of audience in the past few years.

Aside from Twitch being the behemoth of livestreaming, other platforms like YouTube and Facebook too have emerged acting as competitors, while some other platforms like Mixer from Microsoft have diluted and exist no more.

Here are the most popular and biggest streamers on the platforms - Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming.


Biggest streamer on Twitch: Pokimane

Imane “Pokimane” is one of the biggest streamers and content creators on the purple platform. She has a massive following of 8.9 million followers on Twitch, having an average of 21k viewers per stream.

She started off her career back in 2013 when she bought off a $250 PC from Craigslist to play the game League of Legends. She was also one of the first female streamers to get 450k followers back in 2017.

Pokimane went on to co-found one of the most prominent and well-established streamer groups - Offline TV (OTV) along with the former professional Dignitas mid laner, Scarra.

The biggest YouTuber has uploaded 4,485 videos to his channel, which he started off back in April 2010. PewDiePie was one of the first influencers on the platform who triggered the now famous “Adpocalypse” on YouTube.

It was covered by a wide array of news outlets and was trending for a couple of days on Twitter.
