Interestingly, there was only one other streamer from the purple platform on this top ten leaderboard — alittlebitlexis — a Twitch Affiliate who favors games like Clone Hero and Phasmophobia. Most of the influencers getting higher peak engagement are from Kick, suggesting that viewers there are pretty hyped about the event and helping their favorite content broadcasters collect higher charity amounts.
