Kameto, Squeezie, Aminematue… You’ve heard these names before, even if you don’t spend your evenings on Twitch. These iconic figures continue to break records and attract millions of viewers. But what’s really behind this rise?
Twitch, YouTube, Kick: streaming platforms have never been so diverse. However, the French are establishing themselves as true masters of the game, consolidating their position in this hyper-competitive market. If you think this popularity is the result of chance, think again.
The strategy behind the numbers
Take Kameto, for example. With over 591,000 hours watched this week , he’s not just a talented gamer. He’s an entrepreneur. His secret? Understanding his audience. Whether it’s a monumental esports tournament or a humorous “Just Chatting” session, Kameto knows how to captivate his audience. Add to that a well-oiled team and strategic collaborations, and you have a winning formula.
And what about Squeezie? With over 5 million followers , he juggles between YouTube and Twitch, building his personal brand through events like GP Explorer. His frequent absence from Twitch doesn't even have a negative impact, proving that his influence goes beyond mere numbers.
Deserved popularity or a bubble effect?
The success of these streamers reflects a larger trend: Live content consumption is becoming the norm. But this success raises questions. With millions of hours of viewing, is it still possible for new streamers to break into the fold? Or are we seeing a saturation of the market where only the big names thrive?
These streamers are now influencing more than just gaming. ZeratoR, for example, is hosting massive charity events like the Z Event , raising millions for social causes. Gotaga, the former Call of Duty champion, is turning his fame into a media empire.
If you’re a viewer, you’ve probably noticed that these streamers are constantly evolving to stay relevant. If you’re a creator or brand, their strategy is a lesson in branding, marketing, and storytelling. Their success shows that with a clear vision, strong collaborations, and an authentic connection with your audience, anything is possible.
