Summit1g Viewership

In 2022, Twitch veteran Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar’s audience is steadily declining, but the 35-year-old streamer is unfazed by it because ebbs and flows are an essential part of the experience.

TwitchTracker reports that he averages 17,320 viewers every show, a significant drop from the 25,378 and 29,448 viewers per stream he averaged in 2021 and 2020, respectively. It’s even lower than the 17,877 he averaged in 2018, which was his lowest year overall since statistics on the Amazon-owned website began to be kept. With all the knowledge he had gained over the years, he claimed not to care. 

He said; “Are my viewers declining every month? Does it matter? Even if it were, it doesn’t matter!”

The 35-year-old celebrity claimed that since his channel has been operational since 2012, people have expressed worries about its Twitch viewing counts whenever they have decreased, even little, but that this is completely normal. According to him, online popularity and the views it attracts come and go in waves. He listed all the factors that influence it, including the streamer’s attitude and mood, the game they’re playing, how frequently they broadcast, and more, and said, “Your viewer count is going to fluctuate quite heavily,”

According to him, the sole exception to the pattern are broadcasters like Felix “xQc” Lengyel, who consistently pulls large audiences. In 2022, xQc has had more than 75,000 viewers on average per stream. For everyone else, including himself, the veteran Twitch streamer insists some level of variance is to be expected. “Your viewer count will go here, to here, to here, to here, a hundred thousand times throughout your entire career.”

If a streamer is using the data to modify their plan rather than worrying about it, he believes there is no sense worrying if it goes up or down.
