[00:00:00]Complex ranks their 25 best streamers right now. Number one, I show Speed.

[00:00:07]Number two, Kaisenat. Number three, Stable Ronaldo. Number four, SA. Number five, Pla Boy Max. Number six, Phantom.

[00:00:14]Number seven, Extra. Where's Jinxy?

[00:00:23]Okay. Uh, eight, Ray, Asian Boy. Nine, Aiden Ross. 10, Rakai. 11 Neon 12 Jason Deen 13 Queso 14 Your Age 15 Adapt 16 Agent 17 DJ Academics 18 Pokemon Man 19 XQC 20 DDG 21 Jana J 22 Hassan 23 Tail 24 Jinxy 25 Valky Me personally It's the big 20 2026. I personally could not care less about a complex 25 best streamers uh list. Okay, I could not. Um but I'll tell you one thing that makes me genuinely mad about this list. How the is Jinxy at 24? That doesn't even make sense.

[00:01:21]That doesn't even make sense.

[00:01:35]Ah, I don't know. But um here here's my question about this list that I have.

[00:01:40]Okay, here's my question.

[00:01:44]Are they ranking based off of streaming or popularity?

[00:01:55]Do y'all get what I'm saying? Do y'all Do y'all get what I'm saying or no? Am I not making sense? Popularity for sure, but this doesn't even really make sense if it's based off popularity cuz here's here's what I'm here's my personal take, okay? is there is streaming popularity and then there's like media popularity if that makes sense. Like try to think of an example.

[00:02:29]Um hold on let me think. Okay, here's an example.

[00:02:34]XQC has been streaming on Twitch for 10 plus years. has built one of the biggest and strongest communities on Twitch. He could literally sit and paint a picture and have 20 to 30,000 people watching him every day. One of the biggest streamers when it comes to viewership and core community.

[00:02:58]But due to IRL and clips and events and how niche streaming is in general, if XQC walked down the same street as Marlin, Marlin's having people come up to him more. Y'all see what I'm saying? Y'all see what I'm saying? That's my That's my question about this list is is this based off of like media popularity or is it based off of streaming popular? I'm not D I'm not sucking Marlin. That's not D1. That's not D1.

[00:03:36]That's not D1.

[00:03:38]It's just you got to think I'm thinking I'm I'm thinking niche verse media. If that if y'all if y'all understand, it's probably a little bit of both because if you're going based off of just like media popularity impact and you're not going based off of streaming viewership, this list is completely different because you have people like Marlin, you have people like Rakai, You have people like Neon. You have people like Jana who are seen even me who are seen more in clips and more like main main media clips this that rather than the niche streaming side of things.

[00:04:38]You know what I'm saying?

[00:04:39]And like obviously the people who have built strong stronger communities and been streaming for a long time have a have more viewers. But you bro chat you guys might not might not understand but 90% of people who see me or recognize me know me from a clip or know me from clips. They don't actually sit and watch my streams. And that's like that for a lot of streamers because of clipping and paying clippers and Twitter and mainly Tik Tok to be honest.

[00:05:12]It's mainly Tik Tok. Like that's why that's why my list for this would be completely different.

[00:05:20]But I just don't understand how they don't like Jinxy should Jinxy's top two.

[00:05:26]Jinxy's top two.

[00:05:44]Should I rem should I should I make Lacy's 25 streamers list or am I going to get a thread made?

[00:06:06]If you want to get hate, bro, how am I going to get hate for that?

[00:06:18]Yo, EB2, thank you for the five gifted.

[00:06:22]All right, wait.

[00:06:25]Top 25 streamers.

[00:06:35]Like, bro, I don't think y'all are understanding my point. Y'all re Oh, chat. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. Bro, chat. Y'all genuinely aren't understanding my full point, right? So, a perfect example is the difference between streaming and how niche gaming and streaming is and overall media popularity, right? Like Tik Tok clips, Twitter clips, uh going to events, being here, being there is different than streaming and being in that niche streaming thing. Like a perfect example is someone like XQC who has built a super strong community over 10 years, arguably one of the strongest and biggest communities on Twitch. But me, because of clips in IRL in Tik Tok, if you put XQC on one side of Time Square and me on the other side of Time Square, I'm going to have hundreds of girls running up to me asking for a picture. Oh, Lacy, take your shirt off. We want to see you.

[00:07:41]Like, oh, need to see those abs. I'm gonna have So, I'm gonna have a crowd of people around me, you know, but XQC might not have that because he's not in the same clipping. He's not in the IRL atmosphere. It's completely different.

[00:07:57]You know what I mean?

[00:08:04]W clip That stuff is not happening, buddy. What do you mean? All right.

[00:08:17]Do y'all am I Okay. Am I making my top 25 streamers list based off of off of streaming popularity or act or like pure popularity?

[00:08:40]everything.

[00:08:42]But it's two completely different things.

[00:08:49]It truly is two completely different things, bro.

[00:08:54]All right.

[00:08:58]Or should I make two lists? Should I make two lists?

[00:09:03]top 25 streamers in streaming.

[00:09:12]And then 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.

[00:09:52]And then a second list, top 25 streamers in what? In what? How do I word this?

[00:10:04]How do I word this?

[00:10:19]media.

[00:10:22]Okay. All right.

[00:10:30]Top 25 streamers in streaming. Number one, I show speed.

[00:10:37]Okay, I show speed number one on both lists.

[00:11:50]I'm going to have Marlin.

[00:11:53]I'm going to have Marlin.

[00:11:56]Like I said, these are two completely different things.

[00:12:05]That's not D1. That's not D1. We're talking about someone We're talking about someone who's getting a million likes on average per post on Instagram.

[00:12:17]Someone who's getting posted on Instagram's main page. someone who's generating tens of millions of of hundreds of millions of views on Tik Tok.

[00:12:30]You know what I'm saying?

[00:12:34]It's not glaze. Like I said, these are two different things. Then you go to number four in streaming. I'm going to say queso.

[00:12:42]Queso's number four in streaming.

[00:12:50]Number four in streamers.

[00:12:54]I'm gonna say Aiden.

[00:12:57]I'm gonna say Aiden.

[00:12:59]Actually, I'm gonna swap Aiden and Marlin. I'm gonna say Aiden's three and Marlin's four in media. In media.

[00:13:19]Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:13:23]Okay. Now, I'm gonna be honest. This is where it gets a little This is where it starts to get a little tricky. Okay.

[00:13:28]This is where it generally starts to get a little tricky.

[00:13:32]Number five in streaming. Number five, streamer.

[00:13:44]I'm going to say XQC.

[00:13:47]XQC. number five in streaming. Been doing this streaming for 10 years. Has one of the strongest communities on Twitch.

[00:13:59]One of the strongest communities on Twitch.

[00:14:04]Number five in media.

[00:14:15]I'm gonna say there's three people on in my head.

[00:14:25]Three people that are in my head right now that I I could say could be number five.

[00:14:38]But I think in terms of media, because of IRL, because of clips, because of the like how it is, I'm going to say Neon.

[00:14:56]Number five.

[00:15:01]Number six in terms of streaming, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Jason.

[00:15:21]I'm gonna say Jason.

[00:15:25]I'm gonna say Jason.

[00:15:28]Number six in terms of media. I'm being honest on the list. I'm putting myself.

[00:15:34]I'm putting myself. I'm putting myself number six in terms of media. You guys can say sun. You could say uh whatever you want. Um I see my clipping. I see the amount of views that I pull in in clips every month. Uh and this is in terms of IRL media, you know, publicity. I'm putting myself six.

[00:16:00]Number seven, I'm gonna say streamers. Number seven, it's your for you page. Well, no. I just I just I just know the clipping and the the clipping server and people that pay for clips. It was I'm pretty sure it was number one was Clav.

[00:16:24]Oh, wait a minute.

[00:17:01]Tell you got to understand there's a difference between between the the culture of clipping. People who pay for clips are automatically going to be seen in the media more, right?

[00:17:13]Like that's just that's literally just a given. If if you pay like if you pay Clippers, your clips are going to get c circularized more. More people are going to see your clips and that puts you in the media more. It's that simple. It's that simple.

[00:17:27]Um but I'm pretty sure in terms of clipping it was Clav was one. I think Neon was two, Aiden was three, and then I was four from the from the clipping the like clipping Discord of paying Clippers.

[00:17:47]Um, number seven in terms of streamers, I'm gonna say it's I'm gonna say it's between burnt peanut.

[00:18:27]Number eight. For streaming, I'm going to say this is this is where it gets hard, bro.

[00:18:45]Cuz like Joe Bart's been going crazy.

[00:19:18]I'm actually going to move this down.

[00:19:40]Um, eight. Who's eight for streamer? Sh.

[00:25:00]I'm doing top 10.

[00:25:06]I'm doing top 12. Top 12. It equals out to 25. It equals out to 25. It equals out to 25. It equals out to 25, bro. It equals out to 25, bro.

[00:25:34]I'mma say I'mma say too many chatters. Yeah, bro. I can't I can't I can't like I can't think straight, bro. The chat's just spamming different names.

[00:26:40]I'mma say I'mma say I'mma say h I need two more. Two more. This list is streaming. This list is streaming.

[00:27:04]I'm going say the people that are in my head is Agent Sa. Oh my god, there's rage.

[00:27:20]Rage, rage. Agent SA W bail out. [ __ ] it. W cop out. W compound. W compound. W cop out. W cop out. W cop out.

[00:27:53]W cop out. Bro, there's too many to There's too many in my head that I think deserve to be in the top 10 that could not be in the top 10, if that makes sense. Maxis raid. Yo, Maxi sis. Maxi sis, thank you so much for the raid.

[00:28:13]Thank you for so much for the raid, bro.

[00:28:15]friends list, >> bro. Oh god. This is not even a friends list. This dead ass is not even a friends list.

[00:28:27]You going to get hate from certain coms for not including their streamer? Yo, bro, not every streamer can be in a top 10 streamer list. There's more than 10 streamers. Unlucky, dude. Unlucky.

[00:28:38]Unlucky.

[00:28:50]Almost as bad on as the complex list.

[00:28:54]Cap. Cap. All right, bro. Y'all want me to make a complex list? B.

[00:29:00]What's this?

[00:29:04]This is not almost as bad as the complex list. This is a list. I don't care what you say. This list is valid. This list is valid.

[00:29:16]What is wrong on this list? Friends list. Yo, out of this list, I've talked to Speed twice. I've talked to Queso never. I hate XQC. I talked to Burnt Peanut once. I've never had a conversation with Ona Pixel. And I've talked to Joe Bart maybe three times.

[00:29:34]That don't like that doesn't even make sense.

[00:29:38]That doesn't even make sense. Friends and family list. That's just cat. That's literally just cat. You're just coping, bro. You're just coping. You're just coping. If I was being a biased, if I was being biased on this list, my I would be on the list. I would be on the list if I was being biased. Like I said, there's a difference between streaming and general media. There is a big difference.

[00:30:06]There are streamers who stick to streaming and have their lane in streaming and they stay in that lane and they lead that lane and they have the biggest communities on Twitch. And then there's streamers who are branched out and trying to be more in mainstream media and IRLing, going to events, being in shows, doing this, doing that, paying for clips. That's a huge part of it is paying for clips.

[00:30:41]ginormous part when you can pay clippers and then your clips are circulating and more people are seeing your face and your name that Oh, you're yapping. I'm not yapping. If you're not understanding what I'm saying, you're just dense. If you're not understanding what I'm saying right now, you're dense.

[00:31:08]You're dense. That's literally just facts. It's literally facts. And if I'm sorry if your streamer is not on the top 10 list in media or the top 10 lists in streaming, but this is my completely unbiased top 10 in my opinion. And the streaming is based off of three things.

[00:31:28]Communities inside streaming content that you put out is probably the biggest thing, right?

[00:31:38]And then also just general size. General size.

[00:31:46]And then the media one is just having a face to match your name. How much you're seen in the media. And most importantly, in my opinion, clips. Because a lot of people see streamers, 99% of people see streamers through clips.

[00:32:05]That's a fact.

[00:32:08]the the the the viewers that are watching an actual stream is less than 1% of the people who see clips and know a streamer. That's literally just a fact. It's two completely different things. Two completely different things, bro. And it all comes down to the end of the day to paying Clippers in my opinion. If you have a lot of Clippers and if you pay a lot of Clippers, then your name and your face and your clips are going to be out there more. And that's that.

[00:32:40]Get ready for hate threads. I mean, bro, you you it's going to be a hate thread either way. You can't make everybody happy. There's hundreds of streamers, hundreds of communities, and it's a top 10 list. You cannot make everybody happy, bro. You cannot. So, if your streamer did not make the list, I didn't even put myself on the list. Stop ignoring the Aiden comments, brother. I have Aiden as third. I have Aiden as as a the third biggest streamer in media.
