Career[edit]

Overwatch[edit]

In April 2016, Jesse created his Twitch account[4] under the username MOONMOON_OW and began streaming Blizzard Entertainment's game Overwatch.[5] He primarily played tank heroe and gained recognition for his Overwatch gameplay.[6][7][8] He also established a YouTube channel with highlights from his videos.[9][10]

Jesse made his first appearance at Blizzcon 2017 in November 2017, where he participated in Overwatch trivias with other popular Overwatch streamers Seagull, and Lassiz.[11]

Experiencing burnout from Overwatch in 2018 and coinciding with the decline in the game's popularity, Jesse transitioned to variety streaming.[12][13][14]

Variety Streaming[edit]

In December 2018, he achieved high peak viewership for a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate stream.[15]

In 2019, Jesse ventured into GTA role-playing on Nopixel with his character Yung Dab.[16] He also organized a competition called "MoonJam," where game developers were given a theme and a short time to create games that were tested live on Jesse's stream, competing for a fair share of the prize money.[17][18] Jesse shared that he pays a minimum of $80 for any emote he uses on his stream, many of which are emotes variations of Widowmaker from Overwatch.[19]

In 2020, Jesse reached a major milestone by accumulating 1 million followers on Twitch.[20][21]

In October 2021, his earnings were leaked following along with other top streamers' earnings on Twitch. His earnings showed an estimated $2.2 million as of 2021, ranking him among the 20th top-earning streamers on Twitch.[22][23]
