Valkyrae switched from Twtithc to YouTube at the start of the year. Most of her growth actually comes from her Among Us streams with other streamers. We have seen quite a handful number of streamers who got big thanks to Among Us in 2020 such as Corpse Husband, Sykkuno, Jacksepticeye,Valkyrie,...

From there, Valkyrie established herself as a variety streamer who plays what the audience wants to see.
