On Twitch, streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel is one of the most well-known names. Right now, he even holds the number 1 spot among the most-watched streamers. It pays off: even when he’s feeding ducks, he has over 80,000 viewers.
Who is the streamer?
- xQc is a former Overwatch pro who was suspended by his then-team due to impulsivity and insults.
- He soon permanently turned his back on Overwatch and has been streaming full-time on Twitch since then. He shows all sorts of things there. He is known as a “Variety Streamer”, for his often overwhelming emotional outbursts, and for his rude behavior.
- For some time now, he has been one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and most of the time he is even the biggest streamer on Twitch overall.
This is what xQc has done: xQc is currently the largest streamer on Twitch by viewer hours, after slipping to number 2 in August (via sullygnome.com). His currently most frequently streamed category: Just Chatting.
There, he spends most of his time talking to his viewers or showing various things. The Canadian streamer is also known for his rude behavior and for being banned quite often.
During his stream on Sunday, August 29, 2021, he visited the Twitch channel “DashDucks”, where you can feed ducks. Over 80,000 viewers were watching him, many of whom apparently also visited the other channel.
What kind of channel is this? DashDucks shows live broadcasts from a small farm somewhere in the middle of North America. The special thing about the channel is: through donations of “Bits”, viewers can feed the animals:
- 50 Bits give one portion
- 100 Bits give two portions
100 Bits can be purchased directly on Twitch for €1.47. xQc apparently made a joke out of it and fed the currently spotlighted ducks until an automatic message stopped him. The mechanism prevents overfeeding the animals.
You can find DashDucks on Twitch; we have also embedded the channel for you here (via Twitch.tv). And yes, we know that the title image shows geese instead of ducks – but the ducks were relaxing in the shade and the geese were cute:
Just Chatting as a “canvas” for xQc
Why is xQc so popular? The fact that xQc has so many viewers even while feeding ducks is due to the fact that he has built a huge base of viewers over the years. The former Overwatch pro is known for his big emotions and seems particularly entertaining with that.
For some time now, he has been expressing himself in the “Just Chatting” category and doing all sorts of things there: smaller games that you hardly hear about, listening to new albums by Kanye West together, or just how he feeds ducks.
The streamer uses the area creatively and fully expresses himself, which pays off. At times, however, it also seems a bit reckless. Especially when he broadcasts the Olympics and apparently receives a ban for it:
