And then, obviously, no one, not many people want to watch me sleep, so
I was watching you sleep this morning.
I didn't know that. I would have got out of bed.
Hello and welcome to Let's Chat. I'm Dan Clancy, the CEO of Twitch. Joining me today is the wonderful Emily CC, live from Los Angeles. Welcome, Emily.
Thank you so much for inviting me, Dan.
Well, thank you for having me. For whatever reason, may not know you. What makes you stand out?
Uh, so, I've been live over 1,711 days.
So, it's basically a continuous 24/7 stream. Like, sometimes I go to the bathroom, so I can't be there all the time. Like, I have to take a shower. I have showered on stream before, though. But, like, clothes.
Like, so, I would do a joke where people get five subs and I would add a lot of clothes on.
Yeah, so it was fun. Um, but yeah, I just continuously live stream.
Let's go back to when you started streaming. Okay. So, um, what got you into streaming?
Yeah, so I started streaming 10 years ago. I was 19 years old. I was in college. I worked at CVS, and I only played World of Warcraft on my little MacBook. Um, and I had a small little setup, and someone had told me that I could stream on Twitch and find friends to play World of Warcraft with. I had no one to play World of Warcraft with. And I also was broke.
So, they were like, 'You could make money, and you could also make friends.' And I was like, 'Perfect, because I have neither of those things.' And the first month I got really lucky. Someone did send me like a computer, which I couldn't afford a computer.
Yeah, I got, I genuinely, it was honestly luck. It was within like the 20 days.
And did you watch Twitch a lot before you started streaming? No?
No, I didn't know what it was until someone was like, 'This is where you can make friends.' And then someone gave me a dollar and I was like, wow, like...
Yeah, I remember my first dollar. It was just like, yeah, I'm doing this. As long as I can.
And then you had a, it was a subathon that started this, right? And so tell me that story about the subathon and then when did it flip over?
Yeah, the subathon that I'm doing now, it all started because of a sub goal.
You're still doing the subathon?
Still doing that from the one almost 5 years ago. It was a sub goal and I had saw like people like Ludwig and there was this girl I follow. She was doing like 36 days and I was like, wow, I want to do something like that. So I just basically was like pushing myself to go live as long as I can and I remember I hit 100 days live and I was like the longest one and I was like, wait, this is so cool.
Officially you're still on a subathon and if it went to zero then you would stop.
No you wouldn't stop streaming.
Off for a little while and you'd
But maybe I'd stream on vacation.
Yeah, but it's not, I don't think it's going to ever, with your community, at some point you're going to have to, it's interesting.
Right, at some point, and that it will be interesting, you'll, whenever that time comes, you're going to want, you're going to have to think about how do you make a moment of it?
Yeah, like what should be the ending? I mean I think either I throw a party or like it could be like the Sopranos ending, it just, you know, end and then there's some music and then like it's just a black screen.
Or it could be like a big party or I could do, or I could like skydive.
Ooh, I just had an idea, whenever it comes
Whenever it comes, you're going to spread it around Twitch about when it's going to happen and you spread the word for there to be a massive raid train.
That's one of my most asked questions is like who am I going to raid? And I'm like, I don't know. One of my friends, one of my viewers, like someone just
Yeah, you've never raided anyone.
So, let's talk about that. You're in Streamer U last year and just talk about how that happened and what that was. And now, had you collaborated with Kai before then? So, don't just talk about Streamer U, but did Kai find you at one point?
Kai found me in November of 2024, which is like 6 months before Streamer U. Um, so, yeah, he found me basically it was him and Benny Blanco doing a stream. And Benny Blanco was like, 'Oh, who is the longest subathon?' And so, they were like, 'Let me Google like who has the longest one?' So, basically Benny Blanco kind of really helped. Yeah. Kai figure it out and everyone figured it out. And uh yeah, that night it was like 2:00 a.m. I was playing a random horror game. And like thousands of people flooded my chat only with like positive comments, too. It was like such a great experience. And uh we got on a call that night.
Before we get to Streamer U
Um, how do you think about your concurrent viewership?
I think it's hard because I'm always live. My CCV is low. I think uh it just sucks because there's so much downtime.
About it or do you just ignore it? Okay, you don't.
And it's like, you know, it's good for sponsors, obviously. You know, you have to tell the sponsors, 'Hey, like I'm always live. Like that's why it's so low.' Like uh there's times where I like I peak at viewership, but then I have to restart the stream.
It brings everyone back to zero because you know, you're restarting.
People haven't refreshed. You got to
You got to, yeah, you exactly. But um no, I'm pretty content. Even though I don't have that uh a lot of viewers as people
Well, you do have a lot. No, the interesting thing is the concurrent viewership metric
Is like if you did viewers, then it would be very large.
Right? Because your viewers metric is going to be big because you're on for a long time. And so a lot of people
Have downtime because I have to go to sleep and then obviously no one, not many people want to watch me sleep, so
I was watching you sleep this morning.
