The streamer iGamer4tv currently has a challenge running on Twitch. He wants to collect 1101 kills in the shooter Fortnite. However, viewers can deduct kills from the counter with a bit donation. After 62 days on air, there’s still no end in sight.
In recent years, streaming marathons have become very popular – among streamers as well as viewers. In the past, it was mainly about being online for a weekend after a game release, possibly streaming food and sleep.
Nowadays, streamers let their viewers decide how long they stay online through donations.
However, as a streamer, you have to pay close attention and find the balance – if the necessary donation to extend the stream time is too low, you can quickly find yourself in an endless stream that drags on for days, possibly weeks.
YouTuber “Ludwig”, then still on Twitch, “sold” a 20-second stream for around €5. In the end, he was on air for 31 days.
The streamer “iGamer4tv” makes the end of his stream dependent on how many kills he achieves in Fortnite. However, viewers can deduct a kill from the counter for 200 Bits (around €3.50 without discount). His stream has now been running for 62 days (via twitch.com).
Streamer has been online since 01.11. – Even at the turn of the year
How does the stream go? We tuned in to iGamer4tv for a while and saw quite an entertaining show.
The streamer has automated the processes with the kill counter and the bit donations and also offers his viewers various effects in the chat. For example, you can set a filter that briefly rejuvenates the streamer by 15 years. With a second donation, he also gets the corresponding voice.
iGamer4tv interacts a lot with his viewers and grinds one round of Fortnite after another. Eating and sleeping are part of the stream. Currently, there’s still no end in sight for the streaming marathon.
Early on, he received a hefty bit donation that removed 200 kills from his counter – at that time, however, he only had 30 kills. Therefore, he has already increased his goal from 1,101 to 1,271 kills early on.
In the meantime, he was even over 1,100 kills. On day 62, after over 1,400 hours, iGamer4tv stands at 0 kills because the counter is constantly being reduced by viewers.
He was even online at the turn of the year:
What does such an action bring financially? In his stream, iGamer4tv shows what his current milestones look like since the start of the stream:
- 322 Subs
- 441,867 Bits
- Status: 02.01.22 / 11:30 AM
iGamer4tv has the status “Affiliate” on Twitch, so he earns money through the streaming platform. For a sub, you can expect around €2.50, and a bit corresponds to €0.01 (excluding taxes).
Bits and subs have brought him approximately €5,200 since the start 62 days ago.
Has it benefited his channel? In such an action, however, not only the earnings from the marathon itself are in focus. Such streams also attract attention and can make new viewers aware of the channel.
His average viewers have doubled since the start of the stream. The number would be even higher, but he is currently also streaming his sleep – which doesn’t interest quite as many viewers. In addition, he has gained over 500 followers since the start (via sullygnome.com).
iGamer4tv still has a lot ahead of him, but he has already achieved something for his channel. How long the stream lasts, how much attention he gets from it – the next days and weeks will show.
He might still manage to land the viral hit that will skyrocket his channel: Twitch streamer celebrates 9 viewers with his mum – touching clip makes his channel explode
