In October 2024, VTuber Ironmouse became Twitch’s most-subscribed streamer ever, surpassing the previous record of 306,000 subscribers held by Kai Cenat. Ironmouse achieved this milestone through a subathon—a streaming marathon designed to gain subscribers and raise funds for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Twitch's "Subtember" event, which offers discounted subscriptions and extra bonus subs for donations, helped boost her numbers, contributing over 12,000 additional subs.
Ironmouse, who has common variable immune deficiency, frequently uses her platform to raise awareness and support charitable causes. Her record-breaking subathon hit 314,146 active subscribers. The streaming community sees such achievements as markers of influence, sparking friendly competition, with Cenat expressing plans to reclaim his title in the future.

Kai Cenat still holds the record for the most individual subscribers without any major discount events, so IMO his record is more legit. This one comes with an asterisk next to it. I’d like to see Ironmouse try to get these numbers without any extra boosts. Just saying.
I remember when VTubers were seen as just a niche part of the streaming world, but now they are a huge community…I think the anonymity aspect makes it more accessible for people who might not be comfortable showing their face on stream.
