Top 10 Twitch Streamers by Number of Subscribers 2017 - 2020

Twitch is a livestreaming platform focused on video games. It was founded by Justin Kan in 2011, originally as a spin-off of Justin.tv. The latter started life in 2007 as a single channel, broadcasting Kan’s life live around the clock – pioneering the concept of ‘lifecasting’.

The website attracted interest from others who were more interested in broadcasting their own lives than viewing that of Kan’s, which had nonetheless served as great exposure for Justin.tv. Acting on this interest, the site relaunched later in 2007, allowing users to create their own channels and broadcast their own content through the platform.

Streaming gaming was not as simple then as it has become today, when – thanks to Twitch – functionality is built into modern games consoles. This, however, was a key area of focus for the nascent company, who accordingly hired a specialist streamer to help people set up video game streaming. This was a prescient move. The gaming category of Justin.tv quickly established itself as the most popular on the site, leading to a decision to spin it out as Twitch.tv.
