Twitch continues to be a platform where creators push the limits of what’s possible, and recently, a streamer has set a new, jaw-dropping milestone that has left the online community in awe. Kai Cenat and Benny Blanco, two major influencers in the Twitch universe, recently discovered a streamer who has been live 24/7 since November 2021, marking an incredible three-year streak. This unprecedented feat has captivated the Twitch community and is being hailed as one of the most impressive records in streaming history.
For those unfamiliar with Twitch, the platform is a hub for live streaming, where creators engage with viewers in real-time through gaming, music, talk shows, and various other forms of entertainment. Twitch streamers often compete to set new records, whether it’s for the most subscribers, the longest broadcast, or the most innovative content. One particularly popular type of event on Twitch is the subathon, where every new subscriber or donation extends the streamer’s broadcast time. These events often lead to marathon streams that can last for days, weeks, or even months.
The 1,104-Day Streak
The current record holder for the longest subathon on Twitch is a streamer known as Emilycc. As of November 20, Emilycc had been live for a staggering 1,104 days. This Texas-based streamer, who has been broadcasting since January 2016, has managed to keep her stream running nonstop for over three years. She became a partnered streamer on October 31, 2016, and has since built a loyal community around her unique approach to content creation.

Emilycc’s stream is unlike most on Twitch: she uses a special timer that keeps track of her progress and determines how long she needs to stay live. As of the latest update, her timer still had over 645 hours remaining. However, the catch is that every new subscriber or donation extends her stream, which means the clock could keep running indefinitely. Her stream is essentially a never-ending loop, with no set end in sight, unless the support from her viewers ceases.
Emilycc’s Appearance on “Mafiathon 2”
Emilycc’s incredible streak gained further attention when she made an appearance during Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2,” a massive streaming marathon event that has drawn in numerous big-name guests. Kai Cenat, a popular content creator known for his high-energy streams and collaborations, was joined by producer Benny Blanco during the segment. As they discussed Emilycc’s groundbreaking 24/7 live stream, she explained to the hosts just how long she had been going.
“I’ve been live for three years straight, yes. I’m not lying. You can look me up. … Three years straight, 24/7,” Emilycc confirmed during the appearance. Kai, clearly impressed, responded, “You motivate me,” acknowledging the dedication and endurance it takes to maintain such an extraordinary feat.

The moment was a testament to the unique and often unpredictable nature of Twitch streaming, where creators not only entertain but also set new standards for what’s possible in live content creation.
The Twitch Subathon Culture
Emilycc’s record-breaking streak is part of a larger trend on Twitch where streamers engage in subathons to entertain their fans and raise funds. Subathons have gained popularity due to their interactive nature, where viewers can influence the course of a stream by subscribing or donating money, often in exchange for special content or shoutouts. These events are thrilling for both the creators and their audiences, as they create a sense of anticipation and excitement, especially when streams extend far beyond what anyone anticipated.
However, what makes Emilycc’s record so remarkable is that her stream isn’t a one-off event but an ongoing commitment. Most subathons last a few days or weeks at most, but Emilycc has kept her stream alive for over three years, a testament to her dedication and the unwavering support of her audience.
Breaking Boundaries in Streaming
The feat accomplished by Emilycc and supported by her viewers highlights the incredible potential of the Twitch platform. Streamers continue to redefine what it means to create content, pushing boundaries with new records, innovative ideas, and an ever-growing connection to their communities. Twitch has become a space where dedication and passion are on full display, and milestones like Emilycc’s three-year streak only serve to inspire more creators to aim higher.
As for Kai Cenat and Benny Blanco, their reaction to Emilycc’s record showcases the respect and admiration within the streaming community for those who push the limits. Cenat, who himself is known for high-profile events and collaborations, was clearly moved by the sheer persistence it takes to maintain a live stream 24/7 for years.
With this extraordinary accomplishment, Emilycc joins the ranks of Twitch’s most legendary creators. Her record may soon become the new standard for what is possible on the platform, challenging other streamers to find their own ways to engage their audiences and break new records. And for those who thought the world of Twitch couldn’t get any more innovative, Emilycc’s three-year streak is a bold reminder that anything is possible in the world of live streaming.
