2) GeorgeNotFound takes his cooking stream to a new level

UK-born Minecraft streamer George "GheorgeNotFound" is mostly associated with Minecraft content. However, he became the proud owner of a unique record.

In 2021, George created a world record for most concurrent viewers on a cooking stream. Despite not being a core IRL/cooking streamer, his culinary venture attracted over 319K live viewers.

However, readers should note that fellow creator Jack Welsh acted as a catalyst in procuring the subsequent Guinness World Record certificate. The latter submitted all the mandated documents and evidence to present George with the title of the most viewed cooking stream.

The VOD of the entire idea can be found on Jack's YouTube channel.

Ludwig, whose stream went on for a month from March to April, garnered a whopping 273K concurrent subscribers at one point, making it the highest by any creator.

Prior to Ludwig's exploits, popular Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" held the record. He managed to attract over 269K subscribers during his heyday in 2018.
