Jynxzi was three hours into his livestream earlier today when he realized that he had become the number-one content creator on the Amazon-owned platform. He became emotional and addressed his community:
“Chat, I just… dude… I just hit number one on Twitch, bro! I… yo, this is like, I’m like, shaking, bro! Oh, my god, bro! Chat, we just hit number one on Twitch, bro. I just hit number one on Twitch, bro.”
“Chat, I’m about to tweet this right now. I’m about to tweet this s**t right the f**k now! Dude, oh my god, dude! We f**king did it, boys! Boys, we f**king did it!”
At that moment, the Twitch streamer decided to call his parents to tell them about his incredible achievement. After having a heartfelt conversation with his father, Jynxzi continued to celebrate the occasion:
“Holy s**t! Yo, that is f**king nuts. Oh, my god! This guy said, ‘Of course, I missed it.’ Bro, it kind of just happened! Yo, what the f**k, dude! Chat, I can’t even, like… bro. ‘Deserved.’ Thank you, bro! Bro, this has been… chat, this has been a grind.”
Jynxzi reflected on his meteoric rise and spoke about how he went from having one viewer for more than a year to becoming the most subscribed content creator on the popular platform:
“Like, day in and day out, bro. Day in, day f**king out! Never missing streams, dude. Started brick by brick, bro. Like, f**king one viewer for like a year, bro! Year and a half. Getting, you know what I mean… no type of like, no type of progress. And then it kind of started going. So I get five viewers. Six viewers. Seven viewers. And just never ever stopping, bro!”
