“That’s a power move”: Fans react as IShowSpeed reaches 500K viewers, tops charts on YouTube and Twitch with same stream

IShowSpeed has just set another record in his recently concluded stream, which he simultaneously broadcast on YouTube and Twitch. The streamer was able to reach nearly 500K combined viewers during a roller coaster ride that nearly ended with him losing consciousness on camera.

Following his comeback to Twitch last week after almost 4 hours of absence, the streamer had announced intentions to start a livestream on both YouTube and Twitch. Streaming on two online platforms (YouTube and Twitch) at the same time was a strategic move aimed at maximizing his visibility.

Speed managed to attract 437,000 viewers on YouTube and 48,000 to the Twitch stream, which helped him generate an audience size similar to significant sporting events. Speed is currently travelling internationally, traversing through Europe and doing what he does best.

Fan reactions to IshowSpeed's livestream

The centerpiece of IshowSpeed's stream was a visit to a notoriously intense roller coaster in Turkey. Speed seemed to be in high spirits as the coaster climbed its first hill, but as soon as it started descending, Speed’s head lolled to the side. For a good few seconds, Speed culd be seen apparently laying there completely unconscious, while the ride continued its twists and turns.

The viral moment from IShowSpeed's European tour has captured the attention of others on social media as well, and the clip from the incident has garnered further hundreds of thousands of views. The reactions to the clip have been positive, with fans coming out in droves to compliment the social media star.

One fan commented:

"That's a power move"

Another fan wrote:

"That's wild how Speed can pull such huge crowds on both platforms. Pretty cool stuff!"

Another fan predicted:

"Speed is on the most generational run ever lol. will probably be the most known person in the world by the time he’s 30"

A fourth fan chimed in:

"Speed dominating both platforms while unconscious on a coaster is wild. Dude really unstoppable now."

Yet another fan quipped:

"Speed really out here breaking records by doing literally nothing but existing on a coaster"

Using international broadcasts has worked positively for IShowSpeed and has seen him stretch his reach as well, whilst he does not disappoint in terms of entertaining the audience, too. His highly successful trips to Indonesia, Thailand, India, and China are a testament to his increasing appeal across different demographics.

IShowSpeed’s willingness to put himself in situations with unpredictable outcomes, sometimes even at the cost of his own consciousness, has created a connection with audiences - one which is likely to become increasingly stronger in the future years as well. He is expected to continue on his European Tour in the coming days and weeks, which started on July 2025.
