Just Chatting \u2014 an ever-trending Twitch category reserved for non-gaming streams \u2014 took a major hit to its popularity earlier this year, falling behind two other juggernauts in GTA roleplaying broadcasts and Riot\u2019s world-famous League of Legends. Now, off the back of several blockbuster Twitch events spearheaded by Ibai Llanos, GeorgeNotFound, streamer meetup \u201cShitcamp,\u201d and the ever-increasing fame of political star Hasan Piker, the category has surged back into top spot, raking in an incredible 708 million viewing hours between July and September. The category\u2019s popularity saw it score over 51 million more hours watched than GTA, and cleared League of Legends by a whopping 265 million hours. Ibai hit a monster 196,000 viewers while interviewing Barcelona\u2019s football star Gerard Pique, while GeorgeNotFound scored nearly a quarter of a million fans turning in during a Tommy Innit live meet-up.
