The streamer whose clips outgrew his streams
tahalivestreams is named after livestreaming, but his short videos reach far more people than his live broadcasts do.

His name suggests a livestreamer. Yet most of the audience of tahalivestreams comes from short clips rather than from live broadcasts.
Taha, the entertainer behind the account, streams live on TikTok and Twitch. His Twitch channel has 925 followers, according to its public page; his TikTok account, where the short videos appear, has more than 426,000.
The gap is common among creators who first became known through short videos. A clip can be recommended to viewers who have never heard of an account, while a livestream mostly reaches people who already follow it.
Much of Taha’s reach has come from comedy clips that need no introduction: a viewer who lands on one by chance can follow it at once, without knowing who he is.
He also posts on Instagram and keeps a YouTube channel under the same name.
