A subset of the chat logs dump from Twitch used in this work is provided, to help replicate the central findings of this work (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1182793). Data are aggregated and include the number of messages posted in each channel and the number of users posting them, sampled at intervals of 5 minutes. To protect the identity of the users in this data collection, message contents and user names are not included in this dataset. Stream names have been replaced with numeric IDs. No additional filtering or data cleaning operation has been applied to this data. Replication code is available on Github (https://github.com/glciampaglia/twitch-overload-replication).

Twitch Social Networks

Description

These datasets used for node classification and transfer learning are Twitch user-user networks of gamers who stream in a certain language. Nodes are the users themselves and the links are mutual friendships between them. Vertex features are extracted based on the games played and liked, location and streaming habits. Datasets share the same set of node features, this makes transfer learning across networks possible. These social networks were collected in May 2018. The supervised task related to these networks is binary node classification - one has to predict whether a streamer uses explicit language.

Abstract

With the increasing importance of online communities, discussion forums, and customer reviews, Internet “trolls” have proliferated thereby making it difficult for information seekers to find relevant and correct information. In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting and identifying Internet trolls, almost all of which are human agents. Identifying a human agent among a human population presents significant challenges compared to detecting automated spam or computerized robots. To learn a troll’s behavior, we use contextual anomaly detection to profile each chat user. Using clustering and distance-based methods, we use contextual data such as the group’s current goal, the current time, and the username to classify each point as an anomaly. A user whose features significantly differ from the norm will be classified as a troll. We collected 38 million data points from the viral Internet fad, Twitch Plays Pokemon. Using clustering and distance-based methods, we develop heuristics for identifying trolls. Using MapReduce techniques for preprocessing and user profiling, we are able to classify trolls based on 10 features extracted from a user’s lifetime history.

The statistic presents the leading gaming content on Twitch from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, ranked by number of hours watched. League of Legends topped the charts with a combined 512.3 million hours watched on Twitch in the first half of 2019.

As of the beginning of 2025, Kick and Rumble were the platforms presenting the highest creators' revenue share. Kick shared 95 percent of streaming revenues with its creators, while Rumble shared the totality of creators' revenues generated via subscription badges. OnlyFans, which allows users to stream live content from creators as well as pre-recorded videos, shared 80 percent of fans' payments with creators. Twitch new partner program Partner Plus Program launched in June 2023 and allows streamers with at least 350 recurring paid subscribers for three months in a row to earn 70 percent of their net subscription revenue. Twitch's new partner program came right before influential live streamers xQc and Amouranth left the platform to onboard competitor's live-streaming hosting service Kick. Streamers’ revenues According to Kick’s estimations, streamers with 5,000 subscribers would be looking to earn around 23,750 U.S. dollars, thanks to the platform’s low commissions. Launched between the end of 2022 and March 2023 under the advisory of live streamer Trainwreck, Kick allows content creators to earn 95 percent of their revenues on the platform, with the service taking only five percent of streamers' subscriptions. This represents one of the lowest commission fees among this type of online video platform, with Twitch's streamers who are not eligible for the new partnership sharing 50 percent of their revenues with the Amazon-owned host, and YouTube's content creators sharing 30 percent of the Super Chat and Super Stickers received from viewers during a live streaming session with the Google-owned service. In 2022, only 22 percent of U.S. content creators who made money from creating internet videos reported making more than 1,000 U.S. dollars. In case of live-streamed content, the share of U.S. live streamers making 1,000 U.S. dollars and more were merely seven percent of the total. Kick’s rise Kick is a live streaming platform launched between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, proposing itself as a competitor to giants YouTube and Amazon-backed Twitch. Between January 2023 and April 2023, the platform grew from nine thousand channels to 67 thousand, with popular live streamers Félix Lengyel (better known as xQc) and Amouranth adding to the ranks in June of the same year. Adin Ross, who was known for streaming Grand Theft Auto V games on Twitch – was the most popular streamer on Kick during the first quarter of 2023, gathering approximately 125 peak viewers during his live streams. PaulinhoLOKObr ranked second, with around 62 thousand peak concurrent viewers for hist streams.

In the first quarter of 2021, the highest earning Twitch streamer based on income from subscriptions worldwide was Kai Cenat. The American Twitch streamer was estimated to generate 927 thousand U.S. dollars in earnings from subscriptions during the measured period.

As of April 2023, online live platform Kick reported that for 100 subscribers creators would earn 475 U.S. dollars. Kick was launched in December 2022 as a direct competitor to Twitch. Kick reportedly charges five percent of streamers revenues, in comparison to Twitch which is reported to retain between 50 and 30 percent of creator's earnings. Kick, which signed up streamers Amouranth and xQc in June 2023, reported that creators with 5,000 subscribers would be able to earn almost 24,000 U.S. dollars on the platform.

As of May 2025, Grand Theft Auto V has sold over 215 million units worldwide. Published and developed by Rockstar Games and first released in 2013, GTA V is one of the best-selling video games of all time. Of the millions of units sold around the world and across all platforms, some 20 million copies were sold in 2020 alone, marking the game's best-selling year since its initial release. The enduring popularity of GTA 5 Despite being released over a decade ago, GTA 5 is still one of the most popular video games worldwide, as evidenced by the thousands of viewers of the title regularly drawn on the video streaming platform Twitch. In January 2025, Grand Theft Auto V streams on Twitch were watched by an average of 138 thousand concurrent viewers. The monthly time spent GTA V streaming content watched on Twitch amounted to approximately 101 million hours. GTA VI is looming on the horizon After over a decade on the market, millions of U.S. dollars in revenues, and regularly topping download rankings and sales charts, it is hard to argue that Grand Theft Auto 5 is Rockstar’s golden goose. However, even the best-performing cash cow eventually gets put out to pasture. In November 2023, Rockstar's president Sam Houser said the first trailer for GTA 5’s sequel, GTA 6, would come out in the beginning of December to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. Following years of speculation, social media leaks, and gaming journalism hints, Grand Theft Auto 6 was finally and formally revealed in December 2023.Rockstar’s GTA VI Twitter posts and YouTube trailers immediately broke records in terms of likes and user engagement – on social media platform X, Houser’s pre-announcement of the official announcement gained over 1 million likes alone. Grand Theft Auto Six is scheduled to be released in 2026 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Im Mai 2025 war Grand Theft Auto V das beliebteste Videospiel auf dem Game-Streaming-Portal Twitch. Die Zuschauerstunden von GTA V beliefen sich auf insgesamt rund 84,7 Millionen.
