It is not so easy to find out who are the most successful German streamers on Twitch. In our list, you will find out to whom most people are giving their money.
What kind of list is this? In this list, we looked at which streamers on Twitch have the most subscribers. Subscribers are those who have taken out a subscription with the streamers and support them with money. As a thank you, there are mostly only cosmetic things in the chat.
All tiers of subs are counted in the list, including Prime subs, which are free of extra costs. Since not every streamer publishes their numbers, we researched on various sites and the Twitch profiles of the streamers to ensure reliable information as much as possible. However, the number of subs constantly changes.
Therefore, we regularly update this article. The source of the subs, if they are not publicly available, is Twitchtracker.
