Here’s Why Social Media Is Debating Over The Current Top Streamer Of 2025
Even though we’re only three months into 2025, social media users are already gearing up to crown who’s currently carrying the streaming world this year. The debate kicked off when X user @clippedszn tweeted, “Out of these four, which streamer is carrying 2025 so far?”—along with a photo collage featuring Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, Plaqueboymax, and DDG.
The 2025 Roster
The debate over who’s carrying 2025 is heating up. While fans love to compare, each streamer is doing their thing and bringing something different to the table.
Kai Cenat kicked off the year with his viral Batman stream and has kept the momentum going. He’s also gone live from the Grammys, Rolling Loud with Playboi Carti, and even streamed all the way from Brazil. One thing about Kai—he goes big or goes home, and he always brings his lit personality with him.
Meanwhile, IShowSpeed is keeping things global in a major way. So far, he’s streamed from Colombia, Peru, and China, showing up big in every location. Speed never fails to attract a large crowd when he’s out of town — both online and in person.
Plaqueboymax came into the year strong, streaming almost daily since January. His “In the Booth” freestyles have gone viral and even led to collabs with Will Smith and Wiz Khalifa.
DDG might be new to Twitch, but he’s no stranger to content creation. Along with his live dating streams and studio sessions, he keeps fans entertained with funny moments featuring his family members — adding a more personal and relatable touch to his streams.
Social Media Weighs In
Social media users filled The Shade Room Teens’ comments with their top picks for who’s carrying 2025. Under the same post, Kai Cenat is currently winning the poll, with 57% of the votes, leaving DDG in second with 22%, PlaqueboyMax with 12%, and iShowSpeed trailing at 8%.
While the four steamers led the conversation, many fans couldn’t help but give Funny Mike his flowers. He may not be in the official lineup, but that didn’t stop people from tagging his name over and over.
