Following the success of his 20 Million subscribers, the creator recently shared a throwback video that has left his fans overwhelmed with pride. 

From meeting his idol to winning a Streamy, the list of achievements for IShowSpeed this year goes long. While the streamer enjoys enormous popularity and community spotlight today, things weren’t always like this. But the spirit to not relax until you have made it always drives the creator further. Well, to testify the same, Speed shared a glimpse of how he felt during his struggling days of making it big as a YouTuber. 

The IShowSpeed story of 5 thousand subscribers to the big leagues 

The YouTuber recently shared a video he had recorded 3-4 years back when he had approximately 5 thousand subscribers on his channel. “I’m gonna post this video three years later. Right now I have five point nine thousand subs. I wonder how much subs I have later. Peace out. And the person I’m talking to three years later, what’s going on?”, Speed stated in the three-year-old clip. 

The fact that he had planned to post the video years after speaks a lot about the spirit of the man. His followers have always adored his unfiltered interactions.

Adding to the star-studded collaborations, the streamer also met Kylie Jenner this year in Japan.

However, Speed winning the Variety Streamer of the Year 2023 turned out to be a great overwhelming visual for his fans. For context, the Streamy Awards are the biggest honors for live streamers and content creators in the industry today. Later, Speed gave his father, who was incredibly proud of him, his prizes. Speed’s father announced that they had won at the Streamy’s after accepting the prize. He went on to say that Speed does everything; he talks, plays, dances, and does everything else. Further, he expressed his gratitude to Speed for allowing him to experience everything. His father also expressed gratitude to Speed for everything that he has been doing for his friends and family.

At this rate, surely IShowSpeed will soar.
