Career
Stewart started streaming on Twitch in January 2019.[10] Later in September 2020, Stewart began publishing his content on YouTube, predominantly posting rage compilations and gameplay videos from the video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.[11]
Stewart began gaining popularity through the short-form content he posted on TikTok, which in turn brought more viewers to his Twitch streams.[12] Hunter Cooke of Dot Esports described Stewart as "entertainment personified—the inner monologue that occurs when you die in a frustrating way or get a cheeky kill."[13]
On March 10, 2022, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege announced on Twitter that Stewart will be receiving a streamer charm named Jynxzi, which is an in-game cosmetic that can be obtained by "subscribing to the respective streamer's Twitch channel with a linked Ubisoft account."[14][15]
On March 31, 2023, Stewart joined Spacestation Gaming as their Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege content creator.[4][5] On April 12, 2023, Stewart reached 1 million followers on Twitch. He also became the most-subscribed Twitch streamer globally, with 80,000 active subscribers, surpassing Kai Cenat and xQc.[9] Stewart was the highest-paid Twitch streamer in 2023, with estimated monthly earnings of around $120,842 to $191,527.[16] In December 2023, Stewart signed with talent management company and creative agency Right Click Culture.[17]
On January 23, 2024, Stewart started his own podcast called Jynxzi Podcast.[18][19] On February 17, 2024, Stewart won the "Best Breakthrough Streamer" and "Gamer of the Year" awards at The Streamer Awards. He was also nominated for "Streamer of the Year" at the same ceremony.[20][21] Stewart was the number one Twitch streamer based on hours watched for the month of February 2024.[22] In March 2024, Ubisoft added an entire in-game bundle containing Jynxzi-themed cosmetics to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.[6]
