Number 4: Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo
How big was he before on Twitch? The shooter streamer had about 4.5 million followers on Twitch and 8500 active viewers at the time of his switch on August 30, 2021. This placed him among the top 25 in followers, but far behind in viewers at rank 278.
How important was DrLupo for Twitch? DrLupo became known primarily as part of the clique around Fortnite star Ninja and made a name for himself as a calm and well-meaning streamer who showed a biting humor towards his friends. He was able to raise huge sums for a children’s hospital with charity streams time and again. This earned him respect and sympathy in the gaming community and beyond.
DrLupo’s star faded after Fortnite, and his viewership numbers dropped.
Along with TimTheTatman and Lirik, DrLupo signed an exclusive contract on Twitch in December 2019: It was supposed to be his last.
Why did DrLupo leave Twitch? In an interview, it became clear that the streamer switched mainly for financial reasons. With the switch from Twitch to YouTube, he is financially secure and can spend more time with his family.
How successful is DrLupo on YouTube: DrLupo has 1.8 million followers on his channel. He has only been on YouTube for a short time, reaching slightly under 100,000 viewers with his videos.
But even now, it is becoming apparent that he may belong to a “cool shooter clique” on YouTube due to his contacts with CouRage, TimTheTatman, and DrDisrespect: Former Twitch stars who now play together in the foreign.
