As a result, she was voted the best Twitch streamer of the year. The Shorty Awards stated that her commentary on the League of Legends game helped propel her to popularity on the video game streaming service Twitch. Anys was featured in the League of Legends trailer for the new game mode.
As part of a sponsorship, Anys first streamed the game's commentary. The Fortnite developer Epic Games held a pro-am event at E3 in 2018. The Battle Royale mode of Fortnite featured celebrities as streamers. Anys had been paired with rapper Desiigner, but he was replaced by basketball player Josh Hart shortly before the event. In March of that year, Anys stated that she needed to consider what she liked or disliked about the content that she was creating.
It is said that Anys has a laid-back but enthusiastic personality that is perfect for long-form streams, according to Digital Trends. Anys also hosts podcasts and streams real-world moments, in addition to streaming gaming content.
As one of the most popular streamers on the platform, Twitch has partnered with Anys. She was selected as one of the 15 ambassadors for the 2018 edition of their event, which will take place in July 2018. Anys was a partner in the development of a series of broadcasts and articles designed to help content creators build successful channels.

Anys' account was suspended for 48 hours during the middle of a watch stream of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The stream of Anys was raided by viewers of JiDion later in the month. He was later banned, which attracted the attention of streamer Ninja, who stated that he would use his connections to get the ban reversed. When Ninja used the word “bitches” to discuss the issue, Anys criticized his response. In February 2022, Anys re-signed with Twitch.

Anys is a member of the OfflineTV channel, which is made up of content creators.
