Reception

edit

Paul Grein of Billboard said that the show had a "distinctly young vibe" and described Larray and Issa Twaimz as having an "easy rapport" while delivering awards from the Streamys bus. He felt that the return of the Creator Honor awards was the "show's smartest move" because it allowed for genuine moments between the creators presenting the awards and the honorees.[8] International Creator of the Year winner Mythpat praised the Streamys' use of an independent judging panel rather than voting, saying "It is not always about the number of followers but about the quality and type of content. Even someone with 1,000 followers can create path-breaking content while someone with one million followers can create mediocre content. It is always the content that should be valued. I would like to see more award organisers practising this system of judging."[11] The show had a 43% increase in YouTube viewership compared to 2020.[1]
