The community of a German Twitch streamer persuaded him to do a crazy project because they wanted to support him. It’s been live for almost a month now.
Who is it about? RaizorDATA is a German content creator. He is best known for YouTube videos on various Pokémon games. Raizor’s main channel has almost 47,000 subscribers on YouTube, and his videos regularly reach over 10,000 views.
Raizor also streams regularly on Twitch, which is also mainly about Pokémon, but also about Super Mario. There, however, its reach is significantly lower, with an average of 73 viewers watching it in the past 90 days (via Sullygnome).
Despite the comparatively small number of viewers, his community is also loyal to him on Twitch and almost a month ago they persuaded him to do a crazy project that they wanted to support him with financially.

What is this project? The content creator’s fans have suggested a so-called subathon to support him. This is a stream that is extended by a certain amount of time with every subscription that the streamer receives. In the case of Raizor, that’s 4 minutes per sub.
At the request of his viewers, Raizor started the subathon 27 days ago (via Twitter). Since then, the streamer’s number of subs has grown to over 2,700 and he still has almost 205 hours on the clock before he can end the broadcast (as of May 11th via Twitch).
In the past 30 days, Raizor has been live for over 580 hours.
Why does the community want to support Raizor? Raizor addressed his community in a stream almost a month ago. He explained a change in his personal environment that prompted him to move within Germany.
The streamer wants to go back to where he felt most comfortable – and his community was quick to want to help him make the move. The suggestion of a subathon was repeated regularly by the viewers until the project became a reality.
When streamer Ludwig Ahgren once hosted a subathon on Twitch and was live for 31 days, he broke Ninja’s sub-record at the end of the marathon stream and amassed over 283,000 subscriptions.
