In Brief
June 2026 did not revolve around one major Vedal headline the way May revolved around the dedicated server build. The main story was broader movement: the tracked network had more streams, more hype trains, and far more subscriptions than May.
For vedal987, the audience peak came from the Skyrim stream NEURO PLAYS SKYRIM IS BACK, but the strongest community-support moment was The Neuro & Evil Podcast on June 28. That stream produced Vedal's highest hype train of the month and the strongest subscription day.
Across the full tracked network, the standout data point was Camila. The highest hype train of the month reached level 42 and passed 2.29 million points. June therefore reads less like a single Vedal event month and more like a wider network activity month.
Key Numbers
Network raid numbers in this article use direction='outgoing', so outgoing raids are counted from the source channel's perspective.
| Metric | June | May | 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 was more active on most volume metrics. Raid count rose only slightly, while total viewers carried by outgoing raids fell by almost ten percent. At the same time, subscriptions and hype trains rose sharply, which suggests the month's center of gravity shifted from viewer movement to community support.
vedal987's Month
vedal987 streamed 20 times in June. Total stream time was about 55 hours and 25 minutes, with an average stream length of roughly 2 hours and 46 minutes.
The content mix included Skyrim, Evil karaoke, Cyberpunk, Chinese Parents with Yukai and Neuro, Slay the Spire II with Ellie, and the late-month Neuro & Evil Podcast.
| Stream | Category | Peak Viewers |
|---|---|---|
| NEURO PLAYS SKYRIM IS BACK | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition | 8,887 |
| Evil karaoke to lower cortisol | Just Chatting | 8,486 |
| very very very evil stream | Just Chatting | 7,686 |
| The Neuro & Evil Podcast | Just Chatting | 7,459 |
| Chinese Parents w/ Yukai + Neuro | Chinese Parents | 7,410 |
| Skyrim - Inspired by the characters around me. | Just Chatting | 7,351 |
Vedal's largest stream of the month was the June 6 Skyrim return. Its 8,887 peak viewers were far below May's 16,134 peak for the IRL server build, but Vedal streamed more often in June: 20 streams instead of 17.
The Small Story in the Stream Titles
June's titles describe regular stream life more than one major announcement. The June 6 Skyrim stream is a good example, with the title shifting as the session developed:
| Date | Title |
|---|---|
| 2026-06-02 | weekly neuro dose (maybe some experimental neuro changes) |
| 2026-06-02 | weekly neuro dose |
| 2026-06-06 | NEURO PLAYS SKYRIM IS BACK |
| 2026-06-06 | NEURO GETS STUCK OVER AND OVER |
| 2026-06-06 | NEURO GETS CAUGHT ADMIRING PIPES |
| 2026-06-06 | NEURO GETS DISTRACTED AND FORGETS TO GAMING |
| 2026-06-09 | its neuro chewsday innit |
| 2026-06-11 | super awesome evil neuro stream (not test) |
That is June's texture: repeated formats, playful title changes, and Neuro/Evil rotation rather than one clear technical milestone.
Followers
The first June follower sample for vedal987 was on June 2 at 1,007,241. The final June sample was on June 30 at 1,008,485.
That is a gain of 1,244 followers. After May's 4,950 follower gain, June was a quieter aftergrowth month. This matches the stream data as well: Vedal's own audience peak was lower, even though the number of streams increased.
Raids
vedal987 sent 20 outgoing raids in June. Together they carried 111,976 viewers, with an average outgoing raid size of 5,599 viewers.
| Target Channel | Raids | Total Viewers |
|---|---|---|
| camila | 3 | 17,484 |
| limealicious | 2 | 13,103 |
| zentreya | 3 | 12,319 |
| saiiren | 2 | 11,542 |
| laynalazar | 2 | 11,441 |
| cerbervt | 1 | 7,399 |
The largest outgoing vedal987 raid of the month went to cerbervt on June 6 and carried 7,399 viewers.
vedal987 also received 61 incoming raid rows in June, totaling 9,168 viewers. Incoming raids were still much smaller than Vedal's outgoing raids, but the total incoming viewer count was much more visible than in May.
Subscriptions
vedal987 recorded 5,315 subscriptions across 4,341 events in June.
| Type | Events | Subs |
|---|---|---|
| Resubscriptions | 2,314 | 2,314 |
| Gift subs | 1,490 | 1,490 |
| Mystery gift bundles | 481 | 1,455 |
| New subs | 52 | 52 |
| Prime/gift upgrades | 4 | 4 |
The strongest sub day was June 28, the Neuro & Evil Podcast stream, with 604 subs across 465 events.
| Date | Events | Subs |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-28 | 465 | 604 |
| 2026-06-25 | 368 | 524 |
| 2026-06-02 | 306 | 403 |
| 2026-06-11 | 252 | 349 |
| 2026-06-30 | 236 | 301 |
Vedal's subscription total was lower than May, but it remained substantial and concentrated around the late-month podcast and Evil-heavy streams.
Hype Trains
vedal987 recorded 30 hype trains in June. The highest level was 19 and total hype train points reached 1,349,680. One of the trains was a Golden Kappa hype train.
| Time | Level | Points | Stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-28 18:02 | 19 | 204,000 | The Neuro & Evil Podcast |
| 2026-06-25 18:02 | 13 | 72,300 | Evil machinations |
| 2026-06-30 18:02 | 13 | 72,100 | Neuro's Nefarious Tuesday |
| 2026-06-20 18:01 | 13 | 71,300 | skyrim |
| 2026-06-04 18:01 | 13 | 70,600 | FOCUS evil UNFOCUS |
| 2026-06-02 18:02 | 12 | 60,500 | weekly neuro dose |
Vedal's June hype peak was not the same as the month's viewer peak. Skyrim produced the largest audience peak, while the Neuro & Evil Podcast produced the strongest hype train and the strongest subscription day.
Across the tracked network, June recorded 1,253 hype trains. The highest level was 42, and network hype train points reached 28,624,068. The largest hype train of the month came from Camila on June 27 with 2,296,099 points.
The Wider Network
In June, the tracked network was clearly larger than just Vedal's channel. The biggest stream peaks came from Ironmouse's IRL and Just Chatting streams. The largest single outgoing raid was Ironmouse to nyanners on June 20 with 9,230 viewers.
The top of the hype train table was even more clearly outside Vedal. Camila, cweamcat, obkatiekat, laynalazar, and cottontailva were all part of the month's largest hype moments. That explains why total network subscriptions rose by 44 percent even though Vedal's own subscription total was lower than May.
What Stands Out From June?
June 2026 should be read as a widening month. Vedal's own month was active and steady: more streams, familiar formats, a strong Neuro & Evil Podcast, and 20 outgoing raids. The individual Vedal peaks were lower than May's server build, though.
The full network was very active. Streams, hype trains, and subscriptions all rose, and subathon-style events pushed the upper end of the hype train table much higher. June was not a smaller month. It was less Vedal-centered and more about the full tracked network.
