Summary
- Ironmouse breaks Twitch subscriber record, surpassing Kai Cenat.
- Ironmouse plans to donate half the subathon proceeds to the Immunodeficiency Foundation.
- Both streamers are in competition over Twitch records, but Ironmouse is gaining support for her charitable actions.
Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has seen his record of attaining over 306,000 subscribers on the service broken by fellow streamer Ironmouse. The new Twitch record follows Ironmouse holding a subathon that kicked off at the start of September and is still ongoing at the time of publication.
Kai Cenat has seen tremendous success on Twitch in recent times, reaching record numbers of subscribers, followers, and simultaneous viewers. The streamer's future looks bright, with Cenat even announcing KC Fest, a music festival he's organizing. However, the competition is still strong, as Ironmouse has just demonstrated.
Rockstar Games Has Reached Out to Kai Cenat
Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games has reached out to popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, and his reaction is priceless.
VShojo Vtuber Ironmouse has been holding a subathon, which she typically does every year. In 2023, Ironmouse successfully reached 205,000 subscribers during her last subathon in June, but has left that number in the dust this year, surpassing Kai Cenat's prior record of over 306,000 subs on September 30. She's now established the highest subscriber record on the site in its history. The subathon will continue through October 6, so this number could increase significantly by then, with her record currently sitting at 314,100 subscribers at the time of publication and still climbing.
Ironmouse Gains Praise For New Twitch Achievement
Ironmouse's supporters and others have come out of the woodwork to congraulate the streamer in her impressive achievement. Twitch issued a tweet highlighting her accomplishment, while Cenat himself tweeted an image of the iconic number after it had been surpassed. Many brought attention to the fact that Ironmouse will be donating half the proceeds of this subathon to the Immmune Deficiency Foundation, which is "dedicated to improving diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life" for those impacted by immunodeficiency.
This intent to donate highlights Ironmouse's success, as she struggles with an immunodeficiency disorder herself called CVID, or common variable immune deficiency. Immunodeficiency disorders make it so that the body's immune system doesn't behave correctly, which can make even minor illnesses or infections a life-threatening hazard to those impacted. At its worst, Ironmouse was completely isolated within her home, and looked to streaming as a way of reconnecting with the outside world. Thankfully, her health has improved over the years as her streaming earnings have allowed her to get better health care.
While the final amount her donation will equal to remains to be seen, the money and attention being brought to an important cause is a good thing. Cenat's followers are already cheering on the streamer to take back his Twitch record, so it will be interesting to watch these two as their careers unfold on the streaming service.
