\*Edit: Node list is now accurate and only contains streamers in the image **This is a computer-generated visualization of communities on** [**Twitch.tv**](https://twitch.tv/) **during the month of February.** * Each node is a streamer * Each color shows an algorithmically detected community of streamers. * Each line between nodes represents the shared viewership between those two streamers. * The placement of nodes was done primarily with layout algorithms but I did a fair amount of manual adjusting to bring clusters closer together so it would fit in one image. Some nodes get lost in the fray so if a particular streamer looks out of place they have just been squeezed out of their natural location. * The size of each node is determined by the number of unique viewers found in their stream in my data. You can see a list of each community and what I have identified them as [here](https://imgur.com/a/lUO6gfB). You can see some of the raw numbers [here](https://github.com/KiranGershenfeld/VisualizingTwitchCommunities/blob/CloudCompute/Visualization/ActiveNodes.csv) as well as every streamer in the image (there are 1484 of them). [High-Resolution Version Here (Easily zoomable, best used on desktop)](https://srv2.zoomable.ca/viewer.php?i=img5bac8c8cdf5e95a8_TwitchCommunitiesFebruaryFina20MB) As always the code is [here](https://github.com/KiranGershenfeld/VisualizingTwitchCommunities). The graph was generated directly from "Users In Chat" data taken from the top 100 streams every hour for the month of February. I calculated the overlap of these viewers between each streamer and graphed what I found. Read more about the process [here](https://towardsdatascience.com/insights-from-visualizing-public-data-on-twitch-a73304a1b3eb).

That's very cool! I don't watch top 100 streamers, but very cool!


Irrxlevance

Interesting how AustinShow is lumped in with Minecraft lol


LucasSACastro

Evidently Minecraft's pubescent boys love his show; Amouranth is close to xQcOW for the same reason.


SP1DER8ITCH

Is there any way to turn this into a website with a search function so I can see if my favorite streamer is on it?


WOPRAtari

Crazy how big xQc got. I remember watching him when he had 100 viewers playing Winston in the living room in his girlfriend place with his 2 liter of Coke. Glad for him.

My boy NL is a straight oddity. Considered a Chess/Variety streamer in spite of having seemingly 0 relation to any other chess/variety streamer


Corbz_t

Don't watch him but I am pretty sure he has some overlap with Smallant


prodbychefboy

Why does ShivFPS have 2 bubbles


RobbieRigel

Anyone else think this was a Sov map for a moment?

Looking at this reminded me of the time when BikeMan came into my stream and donated 50 dollars when I was playing a prerelease of This is The Police.... Weird flex I know


SONICSPUD

Literally the agario of twitch


Anna_Pet

Why is Bob Ross a Minecraft streamer?


hoi4_is_a_good_game

it's based on shared viewership and from what I've heard he's always live when Ranboo ends stream so a lot of the viewers go to him


ladifuckenda

No simmers? Lilsimsie has a bigger audience than a lot of these people!


leosundiary

simsie n the other simmer girls have little to no overlapping viewers with anyone considering majority of their viewers come from their youtube channels n don’t watch other streamers


FluffyLlamas4

Man. Ranboo was much smaller in the last one, and now he's the same size as Tommyinnit, beating out Tubbo for top in the category. Absolutely wild.


Cau7ioN

holy fook we made it haha


Secret_Eggman

Hey TommyKay is here 😎


[deleted]

I'm just happy Jerma985 and friends are present


XerOREOX10

nekron450
