5 Twitch streamers blowing up thanks to hot tub meta

The growth of Twitch’s new “hot tub meta” has allowed some new streamers to rise up the ranks and dominate the site’s viewership, but who benefits the most from this twist to the Just Chatting category?

Twitch’s new hot tub meta has proven to be quite controversial, with some fans and even streamers such as Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel calling it the “most pathetic” thing on the site.

Nonetheless, it’s hard to deny that people want to tune in and the stats prove it. With up and comers generating thousands of viewers or old favorites finding new audiences, it’s clear the hot tub meta is here to stay.

Here are five streamers that are blowing up in popularity thanks to the advent of Twitch hot tub streams.

XoAeriel

One of the most vocal supporters of the hot tub meta, XoAeriel has seen an increase of nearly 8,000 followers in April alone.

Aeriel also claims to have been the originator of the hot tub meta. She told Kotaku that in December of 2020 she “went on Amazon and purchased a blow-up hot tub… I wanted some kind of different content, and no one else was doing it. I got a couple of LED lights to go inside, and when it arrived I began streaming. Views took off pretty quickly, and my following started to grow pretty fast.”

With the streamer approaching 200,000 followers on Twitch, that purchase is clearly one that completely changed her life.

Indiefoxx

Perhaps the most controversial of the hot tub streamers, Indiefoxx has been banned a whopping four times in several months with many bannable offenses taking place during hot tub streams.

According to the stat-tracking site Sullygnome, Indiefoxx has amassed over 600,000 followers in the last 90 days on Twitch.

With her frequent suspensions from the platform, it will be interesting to see how long she can last before potentially being permanently banned.

Faith

23-year-old Canadian streamer Faith has also seen a massive increase in followers, shattering her own expectations.
