Social media is a powerful tool, and the streaming community overlaps with the terminally-online Twitter and Reddit addicts who frequent pages associated with content creators. So it is only natural that after Hunter's clip is shared, the Astronaut streamer will get a significant boost to his social media reach.

At the moment, jamo_mile has around 65K followers, and the number is only going up. Based on the latest stats from TwitchTracker and Sullygnome, the streamer had around 30K followers last month. Since going viral thanks to Hunter's tweet, Jamie has doubled his followers on Twitch.
