RELATED: Summit1g Explains Why He Isn’t Streaming New World on Twitch
Summit1g is normally livestreaming games like Elden Ring, PUBG, and Day Z, but he dips in and out of the Just Chatting Twitch category like other content creators to interact with his community as questions and comments pour in. When asked about his lower numbers, Summit1g stated that normal channels will experience fluctuations and there are multiple factors that may play a role in his and other streamers’ numbers. Just like with other Twitch streamers that swapped games in the past, Summit1g confirmed that game choice can decrease or increase a channel’s numbers and that personality and mood can as well.
Perhaps unfazed by the lower numbers on his Twitch channel lately, Summit1g stated that there’s “no point worrying about where it’s at every single day, or how fast it grew.” Summit1g referenced having long-time fans and doubters over the last ten years that contributed to a chat that may have played a part in his growth, while he also acknowledged the time invested in a channel may improve its statistics. Summit1g saw his greatest success before 2015 but had a spike in followers in 2018 as well as an average of over 100,000 concurrent viewers in April 2020 when he was playing a mix of GTA RP on the No Pixel server, Sea of Thieves, and Valorant.
Although Summit1g spoke honestly about his decline in viewership since April 2020, the Twitch streamer may regain popularity in the future should one of the many factors he highlighted change. While he hints that top-tier content creators don’t experience the changes that most livestreamers do, the fact that xQc has been surpassed by channels like the streamer of the year Ludwig, Tfue, Ibai, and Auronplay is evidence that even the primary faces of Twitch change.
