How it spread

Trace the origin

The Sidemen streamed their first charity match in 2016. The 2023 London Stadium edition sold out and raised a reported £2.4 million. Its live audience peaked at 2.7 million across tracked platforms, while Fosh’s Uno-card clip reached X.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
