Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller has built a remarkable career as a Twitch streamer. However, in a podcast, he strikes a negative tone: He feels that he has nothing that he is truly good at.
Who is he talking about? It is about the German Twitch streamer Papaplatte. After creating his Twitch channel in November 2013, he achieved Twitch partnership just a few months later, in February 2014. This allowed him to earn money with his live streams.
Since then, he has built an extensive career. Papaplatte streams several times a week, averaging around 30,000 viewers (via sullygnome). He also plans his own events, such as the motorhome tour with his streaming colleague Reeze, with whom he also has a podcast.
We present Papaplatte’s career in the video:
Papaplatte wants to make a change
What does Papaplatte criticize about himself? The Twitch streamer thinks that he is not really good at anything. He has been skiing since he was three years old, snowboarding since he was 15, but he does not feel his skills are at the level he wishes they were.
This realization has led him to reflect, and he has noticed that he cannot showcase any extraordinary skill in a particular niche. He says: “I don’t have a skill that I’m really proud of.”
According to his own statements, Papaplatte is currently in a “life-changing time.” He wants to make drastic changes in his life, though he is not yet sure what exactly they will be. However, it is not about streaming.
He says that he has had too little personal life in recent years. He cannot really improve his snowboarding skills if he only goes on a winter holiday once a year.
This is what the Twitch streamer wants to change: In the future, Papaplatte wants to find something he is good at or learn something new. It is not about generating more views on Twitch, but about fulfilling himself personally.
Focusing on snowboarding is seen by the Twitch streamer as the first step, as the sport provides a good balance for his otherwise busy life.
What is Papaplatte good at? Papaplatte does not only speak negatively about himself but also positively. For example, he is good at streaming; he can attract a large audience there. He is also a good friend, which Henke, the moderator of the podcast, confirmed.

Papaplatte was also recently seen on television. In the Pro7 show “Das Duell um die Geld,” the 28-year-old had to showcase his general knowledge and failed on one question: Papaplatte gets eliminated from the game in Pro7 show because he thinks the Brandenburg Gate is 165 m high
