Controversial Twitch streamer Zack "Asmongold" Hoyt has officially become the most-watched streamer on the platform. Asmongold is known for making viral comments about games and various real-world issues, which have often gotten him backlash from Twitch viewers and even gotten him banned on the streaming platform.
Asmongold was part of the content group One True King (OTK), but he has since stepped down as co-owner after making controversial remarks relating to the conflict in Palestine. The controversy also led to him being banned from Twitch for a couple of weeks and issuing an apology for what happened. When Asmongold returned to streaming, it seemed like his viewership didn't waver as he still raked in thousands of live views, especially on his alt channel zackrawrr.

Asmongold's Alt Account Becomes Most-Watched Twitch Channel
Despite having a main account, Asmongold has been streaming exclusively on zackrawrr, which mostly operated without any Twitch monetization for a couple of years. This seemed to be an advantage for him because thousands of fans flock to his streams and enjoy the ad-free experience. However, after many discussions with Twitch about the incurring costs that the zackrawrr channel is causing the platform, Asmongold finally applied his alt channel to the Twitch Partner Program in late 2024, which earned him thousands of subscribers.
Although Asmongold currently holds the record for most hours watched on Twitch, he's only 7th overall in terms of average viewers with 46,000. Spanish streamer Ibai currently holds the top spot for most average viewers with over 400,000. Last year, Ibai also broke the world record for Twitch viewership, as he reached 3.7 million concurrent viewers when he hosted La Velada Del Año 4.
Asmongold becoming the most-watched Twitch channel may be surprising to many considering how controversial and problematic he can be. Based on the accumulated watch time, however, it's undeniable that he still has loyal viewers tuning in to his streams. It will be interesting to see if Asmongold's zackrawrr channel will retain the most-watched spot in the coming days or weeks, or if the account will be overtaken by one of the site's many other popular personalities.
