April 2026 is the anchor event report: it captured the one million follower spike, the system rewrite, and the first dev stream of 2026.
May 2026 is the first clean comparison month. It also has a clear main content story: the IRL stream where Vedal built Neuro's first dedicated Threadripper-based server.
June 2026 is the first wider network activity report after that baseline: Vedal streamed more often, but the biggest hype and subscription peaks spread across the tracked network.

Current Baselines
These are the current public baseline numbers from the June 2026 report. Network raid numbers use direction='outgoing', so outgoing raids are counted from the source channel's perspective.
| Metric | June 2026 | May 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channels with stream starts | 48 | 45 | +3 (+7%) |
| Outgoing raids in the tracked network | 506 | 499 | +7 (+1%) |
| Viewers carried by outgoing raids | 821,468 | 909,469 | -88,001 (-10%) |
| Average outgoing raid size | 1,623 | 1,823 | -200 (-11%) |
| Largest single outgoing raid | 9,230 | 8,709 | +521 (+6%) |
| Unique raiders | 45 | 47 | -2 (-4%) |
| Unique raid targets | 278 | 270 | +8 (+3%) |
| Streams started | 668 | 613 | +55 (+9%) |
| Hype trains | 1,253 | 1,174 | +79 (+7%) |
| Highest hype train level | 42 | 27 | +15 (+56%) |
| Subscriptions in the tracked network | 180,415 | 125,045 | +55,370 (+44%) |
June is the first wider network activity month after the May baseline. The tracked network had more streams, hype trains, and subscriptions than May, while total outgoing raid viewers fell.
vedal987 Baselines
| Metric | June 2026 |
|---|---|
| vedal987 streams | 20 |
| vedal987 total stream time | about 55 hours |
| vedal987 biggest stream | NEURO PLAYS SKYRIM IS BACK, 8,887 peak viewers |
| vedal987 outgoing raids | 20 |
| vedal987 outgoing raid viewers | 111,976 |
| vedal987 largest outgoing raid | cerbervt, 7,399 viewers |
| vedal987 subscriptions | 5,315 |
| vedal987 hype trains | 30 |
| vedal987 highest hype train | level 19, 204,000 points |
| vedal987 follower growth | +1,244 |
June's main interpretation: Vedal's own month was active and steady, but the strongest growth came from the wider tracked network. Streams, hype trains, and subscriptions rose across the network, while the biggest individual hype peak came from Camila rather than Vedal.
Data Coverage
RaidFollower was built in stages, so the early archive has uneven coverage.
| Data type | Coverage note |
|---|---|
| Raids | Active for March onward; May and June have clean full-month coverage |
| Streams | Active for March onward; May and June have clean full-month coverage |
| Followers | Started March 22, 2026 |
| Subscriptions | Started March 30, 2026 |
| Hype trains | Started April 14, 2026; May is the first full-month hype train period |
April 2026 is the first near-complete report month, but hype trains are missing from April 1 to April 13.
May 2026 is the first clean full-tracking month where every major category is active from day one.
June 2026 continues that full-month coverage and is the current public baseline in this archive.
About RaidFollower
RaidFollower is a tracking project for Twitch community activity around vedal987 and the broader Neuro-verse network. It records raid movement, stream sessions, follower counts, subscription events, and hype trains in real time.
Most milestones in a Twitch community, such as a raid, a sub surge, or a channel crossing a round number, happen fast and leave no permanent record. RaidFollower exists to fix that. The archive preserves the exact moments: the minute a follower count spiked, the stream where a hype train peaked, the week subscriptions were three times normal.
The data is continuous and automatic. The articles are written when something worth reading happened.
