Emily (@emilycc) has been live streaming on Twitch uninterrupted for 1,104 days. The content creator hasn't stopped filming her life for the audience for just over three years. Her stream is on even when she sleeps or takes a shower. When someone subscribes to her channel or makes a donation, it adds time to her clock, extending the time she has to keep streaming.

Subathons (or subscription marathons) are common events on Twitch. Streamers stay live for long periods, trying to gain as many new followers as possible. Emily's subathon is record-breaking. On November 20th, streamer Kai Cenat, currently the biggest star on the platform, joined her stream. He was shocked that she hasn't stopped streaming for over 3 years, even during holidays or her own birthdays.
Emily's clock currently (November 20th) shows she needs to stay on stream for another 746 hours. After Kai Cenat connected with her stream and introduced the streamer to tens of thousands of people on his channel, that time will undoubtedly extend. On her stream, she mainly plays games (currently "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6") and chats with viewers in the chat.
The streamer has a record number of subscribers
In the comments section of an Instagram video where Emily shared an update about her subathon, one user asked: "How do you deal with burnout? It's amazing." The streamer replied, "I am burnt out, but thank you so much. I'm addicted to caffeine and have nothing else to do." Emily currently has over 326,000 subscribers. She has surpassed the VTuber Ironmouse and even Kai Cenat.
On the streaming platform Twitch, popularity is measured in three ways. The first is the number of subscriptions, which refers to people who pay to interact with their favourite creators. Amazon Prime users (Twitch is owned by Jeff Bezos's company) have one free subscription available on Twitch each month. Twitch channels also have followers who watch without paying. Another important statistic is the number of people watching a particular stream. The record for this belongs to Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, who at one point was watched live by 3.8 million people.
Emily's marathon on Twitch has reached the incredible milestone of streaming for over 1,100 days. She's streaming even during daily routines like eating, sleeping, and socializing, showcasing a unique lifestyle for her audience. Despite the immense challenge, Emily's passion for connecting with her viewers keeps her going, although she openly admits to feeling burnt out. The remarkable support from her over 326,000 subscribers only adds to this inspiring journey.
