Antonia “Reved” Staab (24) was the biggest streamer on German Twitch for three years. Then she announced a break from streaming for health reasons. Now she is extending the break to her other social media channels.
Who is it about? Antonia “Reved” Staab began her career with Minecraft on YouTube and within a few years became the biggest streamer on German Twitch. With the Streamer Awards, she also organized an important event for the German scene.
However, in August 2023 she surprisingly announced a longer streaming break. The 24-year-old had been suffering from unexplained headaches for a long time and said her health was like that of a 70-year-old. Now Reved is saying goodbye to social media.

Reved says: She can’t heal with social media
Why does she stop? In a YouTube video dated November 29, 2024, Reved announces that she will be stepping away from all of her social media channels indefinitely. The 24-year-old leaves it open whether she will come back again, but speaks of her “last video.”
The streamer explains that the causes of many of her physical complaints are actually psychological. She said something similar in May when she reported how much she was suffering from her relationship with Twitch streamer Anni The Duck.
Now she has realized that public discourse is standing in the way of her healing. She needs to distance herself from it – both privately and professionally.
In addition, there was a death in the streamer’s family, which really threw her off track.

A life outside of social media
This is how it continues: As Reved explains, social media has made up her life so far. She started at the age of 14, and at 18 she emigrated to the streamer paradise Madeira and became a full-time streamer. Now she wants to find out what she could actually enjoy outside of that.
However, the timing is extremely bad, as her Streamer Awards are taking place next week and she is also releasing merchandise again. Instead of herself, the event would now be moderated by the streamers Rezo and NoWay.
The streamer says: She can’t stand on stage and moderate an event in a good mood.
Precisely because she loves streaming so much, she now has to pull the ripcord before she completely loses joy in it, says Reved. She makes it clear that she would like to come back one day, but cannot yet promise if, when and in what form that will happen.
Reved emphasizes several times that issues have been stirred up again this year that are very stressful for her. This could be about the earthquake that shook the German Twitch scene in spring 2024: How €2.50 plunged German Twitch into chaos and led to the end of the careers of 2 influencers
