Twitch (@Twitch) — Twitter Score 72 out of 1000

Twitch is a live-streaming platform co-founded by Justin Kan, Emmett Shear, Michael Seibel, and Kyle Vogt that grew from a gaming-focused spin-off into one of the largest streaming communities on the internet. Twitch's Twitter Score is 72 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #11,349 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.

Twitch was introduced as a gaming-focused spin-off of Justin.tv and was later acquired by Amazon for $970 million, with the platform continuing to operate independently following the deal. Twitch was previously backed by Alsop Louie Partners and Draper Associates, as well as Y Combinator in its earlier stages.

Twitch supports creator monetization through several products, including Bits, subscriptions, Turbo, Prime, and Extensions, giving streamers multiple revenue channels. The platform holds limited but tangible crypto relevance through its payment integration with BitPay and through the broader creator-economy overlap with blockchain-based projects. Co-founder Justin Kan has also extended into the crypto space independently, having launched Fractal, a marketplace for Solana-based NFTs. Twitch has published 28,954 posts and has 9,492,001 followers as of August 2026 on the platform.

Twitch has been mentioned by 1,576 accounts, with 5,901 total mentions recorded.
