The popularity landscape on Twitch seemed to have shifted slightly as September 2024 wrapped up. Streamers like Kai Cenat, Jynxzi, and Hasan Abi, who previously held top positions on the most active subscriber list, have been surpassed by some up-and-coming faces. One example is Jasontheween, who recently surpassed Kai with over 100,000 subscribers as the FaZe subathon ended.
Regardless, the biggest transformation comes from Ironmouse, a VTuber known for her charismatic persona. She gained fame through a variety of content, including singing, voice acting, anime discussions, and gaming.
This article will analyze and compare the two streamers from a statistical standpoint to determine who holds the title of the most popular Twitch streamer in 2024.
Comparing Kai Cenat and Ironmouse from an analytics perspective
Ironmouse solidified her place in Twitch history in September 2024 by breaking Kai Cenat’s all-time subscriber record. Her September 2024 subathon, which raised funds for the Immune Deficiency Foundation, amassed over 314,000 active subscribers, surpassing Cenat’s previous record of 306,000.
Trending
Kai currently holds over 97,000 subscribers and has just come out of a streaming event that parodied the National Basketball Association (NBA), including its draft. Titled the Little Ballers Association (LBA), Kai, aged 22, played against (and with) children in a mock professional basketball match.
Considering Ironmouse came out of a 24/7 subathon, it does make sense that her channel member count surged. On August 31, 2024, she had nearly 15,000 subscribers, whereas Kai Cenat had about 114,000 on the same date. Irounmouse gained over 300,000 new subscribers through her subathon alone.
Kai, who previously had the edge, responded to being surpassed by Ironmouse and congratulated her. Regardless, the streamer hinted at a potential comeback, perhaps through another subathon:
"Look though, W Ironmouse you know what I am saying? She took the record. She really did that, you feel what I am saying? But I promise one thing to my supporters if it was broken. We will see what happens in the future."
Who has the most followers?
On Twitch, Kai has a clear edge with over 13 million followers, compared to Ironmouse's 2.07 million. Cenat has gained over six times Ironmouse's follower count with 3,000 fewer hours streamed. As of writing, Kai is the 5th most-followed streamer on the platform whereas Ironmouse is the 170th.
We see this trend across other social media, including X, YouTube, and Instagram.
Who averages more viewers on Twitch?
In terms of live viewership, Kai has the advantage yet again with over 58,000 average live viewers. Ironmouse, on the other hand, currently has about 8,000 viewers, on average, watching her every time she goes live.
Ironmouse has carved out a niche within the VTuber community, and her content resonates with her viewers, even if her live audience size doesn’t match Kai’s.
Overall, statistically speaking, in all parameters except active subscribers, Kai Cenat reigns supreme.
