He is the 20th most-followed channel on Twitch, with over 4.5 million followers on the platform.[7][8]

YouTube and Twitch career

Simons created his Channelnutpig channel on 15 February 2013 and his TommyInnit channel on 24 December 2015.[9][10] He uploaded his first video titled "Terraria Episode 1 (First Video Ever)" on 9 October 2015.[11] Simons uploaded his first video on his TommyInnit channel named "Guide to Lobby Spamming" on 9 September 2018.[12] Simons began consistently streaming on Twitch in late 2018, where he streamed PUBG, Fortnite, and Minecraft.[1][5] He has amassed over 4.5 million followers as of March 2021, making him the 20th most-followed channel on the platform.[8]

On 4 July 2020, Simons joined the roleplay-focused Minecraft server Dream SMP,[13][14] run by the eponymous YouTuber Dream,[15] which quickly caused his TommyInnit channel to gain traction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his channel gained more traction, quickly increasing his subscriber count from 100,000 to 1 million by September 2020.[16][original research]

On 20 January 2021, Simons livestreamed the finale of the Dream SMP, titled "The Dream SMP Finale",[17] which peaked at over 650,000 viewers making it the third-highest all-time concurrent viewer stream on Twitch, overtaking Ninja's Fortnite collaboration with Drake.[18][19][20]

In early March 2021, Simons made an announcement that he may quit livestreaming and fully transition to YouTube. However, on 27 March 2021, Simons announced that he would resume streaming.[21][22][23]
