What is subathon?

A subathon is a streaming event where a streamer on a platform like Twitch sets a goal for the number of new subscribers they want to acquire over a certain period of time. During the subathon, viewers can subscribe to the streamer's channel, and each new subscription adds time to the length of the stream.

Subathons are a popular way for streamers to engage with their audience, increase their subscriber count, and create a sense of urgency and excitement for viewers to support the streamer. Some streamers may also offer incentives or rewards for subscribers, such as shoutouts, custom emotes, or special events during the subathon.

Subathons can vary in duration, with some lasting just a few hours and others lasting several days. They can be great opportunities for streamers to grow their community, connect with fans, and generate additional revenue through subscriptions and donations.
