Popular Contraction streamer Kai Cenat shared his thoughts on VTuber Ironmouse surpassing him during his subathon. Both Twitch streamers are known for their entertaining gaming content, which thousands of viewers tune in to every time they go live.
Ironmouse recently hosted a 30-day subathon on Twitch, during which he played a variety of games and hosted episodes of his weekly talent show, Ironmouse VTuber Academywhile also raising money for the Immunodeficiency Fund (IDF). During the subathon, Ironmouse gained over 311,000 subscribers, surpassing Kai Cenat's record of over 306,000 subscribers. Many Ironmouse fans and colleagues, including Cenat, congratulated her on the huge achievement, but she also received unnecessary hate.
In a recent Twitch stream, Cenat spoke about the backlash Ironmouse had received and showed his support for VTuber. She reminded viewers that Ironmouse has always been one of the most subscribed streamers on Twitch, and that she was the person he had to outdo during his first subathon last year.

- Ironmouse Twitch subscriber record: Over 312,000
- Record previously held by Kai Cenat: Over 306,000
Cenat also acknowledged the people who defended him after Ironmouse surpassed his subscriber record, but went on to say that VTuber's subathon was “pretty well put together” and also praised her for donating to charity. Cenat had also previously promised his supporters that he would somehow reclaim the title of most subscribed Twitch streamer if it was broken.
Recently, Cenat has attracted attention with his entertaining Soulslike streams, where he spends hours and even days trying to complete FromSoftware titles like Elden Ring AND Sekiro. Rockstar Games even contacted him about a possible collaboration, which fans speculate could be one Grand Theft Auto 6 cameo or an early preview of the game. It's safe to say that Cenat may have enough gameplay content to sustain him in his current and future streams, which could help him surpass Ironmouse again when the time is right.
Subathons are definitely a great way for streamers to gather subscribers, especially if they set goals that involve fun challenges. However, there are challenges with subathons, such as the possibility of Twitch streamers getting crushed and challenges going wrong. Many fans have also expressed concern about streamers not getting enough rest, especially those who choose not to sleep for days or continue to make content despite being tired until their subathon is over. Regardless, the trend is likely to remain.
