How to rank them
Sorting criteria 2026-08-08This article coversstreamer rankings by the numbers: first, we look at who dominated total watch time across all of 2025; then we cross-check the rolling live stats for August 2026 (last 30 days); finally, we add the YouTube Gaming year-end chart. Different platforms and different methodologies mean we won't force a single "global No. 1."
