The most watched Twitch streamers in 2022 from the United Kingdom have been revealed. The data was obtained via Streamcharts.com and is based on hours watched of each individual streamer.

Streaming on sites such as Twitch and Facebook Gaming have become the go to place for content creators around the world. The platforms allow gamers to build a more intimate connection with their fan base.

It’s also a highly lucrative business. Streamers are able to earn money in a number of ways, including donations from viewers, ads and merchandise sales. According to Gobankingrates.com, “Affiliate streamers (on Twitch) playing 40 hours per week can make $3,000 to $5,000 per month”.

Over the years, being a content creator was still regarded as a niche job or source of income. But, as of 2021, there were over 10 million active streamers on Twitch alone.

Twitch launched back in 2011 and in 2021, viewers consumed over five billion hours of content on the site. And as of December 2022, the most-followed channel belongs to Ninja with over 18.4 million followers.
