Who is she?

Arguably the biggest Twitch streamer and the face of Twitch used in a lot of ads and promos. Also a Streamlabs partner, so good for her to call them out

Arguably the biggest Twitch streamer

This person is #39 on this list [1] which shows earnings from ~2 years up till Oct 2021. She is arguably a top100 streamer, but I wouldn't use these heavy wordings of 'biggest Twitch streamer' cause I am sure there's going to be fans of various of these top100 personae who claim such.

She's the 8th most followed Twitch streamer, and the most followed female Twitch streamer [1].

She doesn't score as high in most other metrics, so there are certainly more channels with a claim to "biggest (female) Twitch streamer" depending on how you look at it.

So parent is right. Message above said nothing of "female" twitch streamer, it said biggest streamer period, which is flat out wrong.

Maybe you can measure media presence, or use by Twitch PR, and make her come out on top. But yeah, calling her "biggest twitch streamer, period" is iffy, both because it's not obviously true and because there's no agreed upon metric to find a single biggest twitch streamer.

That's because she famously limited donations.

The numbers on the list only include Twitch related payments (subscribers, ad deployments and "bits"), so donations are not included in any way.

The female face of twitch, yes.

XQC and others regularly pull 5x the concurrent viewership

DrDisRespect was the face of twitch until they banned him.

Oh cool, she’s Moroccan! Thanks for the link.
