From there, Valkyrie established herself as a variety streamer who plays what the audience wants to see.
According to a report by Stream Hatchet, Valkyrae got a total of 23.6 million watch hours in 2020 while Pokimance is closely one the second place with 23.3 million watch hours. Compare with 2019, Valkyrae had a 7,304% growth in terms of watch hour. Still, Valkyrae is only placed 63rd across all streamers in terms of watch hours.
xQc is the one on the top of the chart with a whopping 148.9 watch hours, followed closely by Gaules and summit1g.
While female streamers are still very underwhelming when compared to male streamers, the report of Stream Hatchet indicates that the gap is continuing to close.
