Kai Cenat Highlights One Key Reason for IShowSpeed’s YouTube Success

Kai Cenat has expressed his admiration for IShowSpeed, highlighting the immense challenge of establishing a successful presence on YouTube compared to Twitch. Cenat acknowledges that while Twitch often serves as a launching pad for new talent, YouTube has seen the rise of a remarkable star in IShowSpeed.

After facing a ban from Twitch, IShowSpeed has taken the reins on YouTube, outperforming numerous other streamers on the platform. Although there has been speculation about a possible return to Twitch, especially after his ban was lifted, he remains active on YouTube, which is owned by Google.

His exceptional achievements have caught the attention of fellow streamers, most notably Kai Cenat, who shares a strong bond with IShowSpeed.

Kai’s praise for Speed is well-deserved; he has consistently recognized him as one of the top streamers, placing him in his personal “big three”alongside other prominent figures in the industry. Notably, what sets Speed apart is his ability to attract substantial viewership despite streaming for significantly shorter durations than his competitors. For instance, in May, Speed’s streaming hours were less than half compared to those of Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman, yet he garnered almost double the audience.

Looking ahead, Speed has hinted at exciting developments for 2025, including an ambitious trip to Africa, which could potentially elevate his popularity even further.
