Recently streamer mokrivskiy announced event CIS Twitch Oscar 2020 (all in Russian and with Russian-speaking streamers), which includes multiple nominations, including a nomination called “Breakthrough of the year”. As far as I understood, Twitch viewers and streamers proposed nominees for the contest. Before the event I was thinking about how to classify Twitch channels into various categories, for example, rising stars, declining, stable. Category “Rising stars” and nomination “Breakthrough of the year” sound similar to me, so I looked at twelve nominees to see how growing Twitch channels look like. In this post I will try to jump in into an opportunity to analyse these channels and try to prioritize speed of analysis delivery over building data pipelines and managing infrastructure. The goal is to look at nominated channels through multiple angles such as hours streamed and viewed, followers, and viewers.
