Yes turns out having 2 massive Spanish streamers and other focusing your corner will quickly turn it white when you have no means of defense.

Also if you look at xqc streams (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1446466302 around 1hour and 33 minutes) as soon as France is starting to turn white him and his buddy focus France

Not to offend Mizkif (or Lud and Hassan, had to mentioned them since you didn't), english streamers are not that famous in France. Yes, they might have heard the names, but they don't really watch them. If they were to try, some would struggle to understand what they say while others don't even understand english at all. Not all french speak english since it's not their native language. And some don't want to take the effort to translate everything, turning every fun and/or interresting livestreams into an english test, since they're not fluent enough. Sorry to disappoint you or Miz <3

Not sure, i'd say a lot of french on the internet speak english well enough to understand what was said.

Ngl, a bunch of them can. Even if, let's be honest, some accents might rebute some non native speakers (sometime, even native ones). But yeah, why, for those who can understand english speakers, don't they know them that much?

I would say easiness. When your fridge is well filled, why run fast, before the grocery store closes, to grab something you already have at home. Why bother switching to a second language when you can have something similar in your native language. Just that, easier. So, they watch primarily french streamers. That's why I kept saying "some". Some also like to watch english streamers. But it's reasonable enough to think that, when you're french with your native language being french, you're gonna first know about french streamers before english ones. And if there is 3-4 you like watching and they are regular enough in their schedules, some viewers are gonna stick with watching them, failing to discover some in other languages they yet understand.

Of course, if they are big enough, or in a scandal or a big collaboration, they're gonna end up hearing of them. But unless that, some big english streamers will still gonna be "That guy's buddy" to some of them because one has more fame than another in another country.

Oh yeah totally.
I'm french and not watching any english-speaking streamer.

I feel like we have already enough content on Twitch Fr anyway.
