She's one of the OG "Twitch Girls" so she gets a lot of legacy treatment. She never dove into the modern wave of thirst-trap streams, but she doesn't have to, because she's one of the original "gamer girl" archetypes.

She's not a very good entertainer (imo), she's not more attractive than most other streamers, and she's made some hilariously tone-deaf remarks lately...but her longtime street cred and connections keep her relevant.

Better answer than mine. Imprinting on so many boners will maintain a legacy for as long as the boner-havers live.

What even IS twitch is it an alternative to youtube? Because we always talk about how much youtube sucks because it has a monopoly on video hosting service websites, but that site is clearly an alternative right? I haven't gone to it yet but just wondering.

She got promoted heavily and got attached to other popular streamers that themselves are connected to popular streamers.

Doesn't help that her fanbase is primarily lonely men that didn't care when they were called a bunch of broke morons when pointing out that her cookies were just overpriced white label cookies from costco.

It's for live streams mostly. YouTube also has that feature, but it's not as popular in my experience. YouTube is more about uploaded videos that aren't live.

I'm still really really really surprised The Pokemon Company never sent her a cease and desist for how close her name is to Pokemon and it's clearly a play on it. I don't watch streamers, but the clips I've seen of her made it pretty apparent her audience is not there for the s-tier entertainment value lol.

Oh. That doesn't sound great for people with bad internet especially out in the boonies people.

Kinda makes me think it's like tiktok, it offers and focuses on one feature of youtube (live youtube video in twitch's case, youtube shorts in tiktok's case) rather than the whole package.

I don't really understand the twitch / streamer thing anyway. There's almost nothing more boring to me than watching someone else play video games. I've followed some streamers, especially smaller ones who were cool people hang out w/ occasionally, but once you get over a certain size, it's just so fake and lame, imo.

I'm sure a lot of the reasons others have mentioned definitely contribute, but I dunno how any streamer gets as big as they do, tbh.

Twitch has been doing streaming a LOT longer than YouTube and frankly YouTube doesn't do it as well as Twitch yet.

Ok that I did not know. So it's youtube themselves that incorporated the features.

This does also explain what the other user said about them being not as popular as twitch, if youtube came up with it after.

Valkyrae is as big as Poki now and she isn't legacy.

Also some girls started before her and never got as big. Hafu if I recall or whoever was hotshotgg gf.

She started streaming when like 1/3rd of people streaming on Twitch were speedrunners. She was still in college and playing League of Legends.

I don't even know how Twitch got so popular. It's not very user friendly at all. I used it a few months ago. Watched a live stream from one person. A week or two later, I tried to find that person so I could watch them again. I had no idea what their name was so I couldn't search for them specifically. But there was no watch history, so I couldn't click on a recent stream I watched and get the streamer from that.

I read some Twitch support article I think it was and learned that was intentional and by design. What? That's so stupid.
