Subathons are a way for streamers to attract attention with ludicrously long streams, and Twitch Partner Emilycc has become the first person to have a continuous year-long subathon.
Emilycc livestreamed for 365 days, which is the equivalent of 8,760 hours, to reach the shocking record. And she is still going now. As of writing this article, Emilycc has been livestreaming for 370 days. Her new goal is to stream for two years.
The subathon is uncapped, meaning it can technically continue for as long as people donate. Her rate has been $1 or 100 bits for three minutes. Whenever someone subs to her, Emilycc spins a wheel that adds anywhere from one to 20 minutes. Some
Twitter mathematicians
calculated that she made at least $65,000 after Twitch took its
controversial cut.
Emilycc has smashed previous subathon records and has livestreamed the longest of any streamer. Here are the other streamers who have pulled off an impressive subathons.
