DrDisrespect unhappy with YouTube, IShowSpeed remains true to scandals

How is DrDisrespect feeling? His viewership numbers looked really good in 2022, but the mustachioed streamer is not completely satisfied. DrDisprespect feels abandoned by YouTube Gaming, as Twitch streamers are making a lot of money on YouTube – but he is getting none of it.

And how is IShowSpeed doing? He is also still very successful. However, scandals seem to continue to find him, or he finds them. Just during the World Cup in Qatar, he showed racist behavior towards a football fan. But this does not change his behavior or his viewership numbers.

Another streamer has become big on Twitch by now. Kai Cenat has broken a new subscriber record on Twitch, but he is not completely satisfied. You can read the whole story about the streamer on MeinMMO:
