CORPORATE CAPTIVITY:OVERGROWN
Chat by time of day
Every message from the Nov/Dec 2025 subathon placed on a 24-hour clock, in Eastern time. This is the shape a 42-day subathon makes: a long overnight tail and a dead zone at dawn.
Bits by time of day
Cheers on the same clock, drawn as its own chart rather than a second axis — bits and messages are different units, and overlaying them would invent a correlation.
Subscriptions, gifts and raids are not recoverable here: Twitch’s VOD chat export omits them. Bits survive because they ride on ordinary messages.
Messages per day
The whole run, day by day.
Top yapper, 2025
Who did the most talking across the whole subathon. Bots excluded.
Counted by messages, not by screen. 220 of them carried an awoo, and 164 were the wolf itself drawn in braille — the largest a single message of 453 characters. Each of those counts once here, however much of chat it filled.
Explore the whole subathon
The strip below covers everything recorded. Drag inside the shaded box to pan, or drag its edges to widen and narrow the window. The chart underneath redraws to whatever you select.
Showing everything recorded.
Viewers watching
Concurrent viewers on each channel, from Twitch’s own API once a minute. Drawn on its own axis and never paired with subscriber counts — they are different units, and putting them on one chart would invent a relationship between them.
A gap means nobody was broadcasting, which is not the same as nobody watching.
Time remaining over the subathon
The clock as it stood, sampled every 15 seconds against the timer server’s own clock. A rising line means time was added faster than it drained; a flat line means the timer was paused.
Vertical axis is HH:MM:SS remaining, not seconds.
What was on
The game Twitch reports for each channel, as bands over time. Line this up against the clock above to see which game was running while time was being added.
Time added and removed, per event
Every jump in end_at, which is what changes when time is granted or taken away. Bars above the red baseline are additions; below are removals.
The red dashed line is zero change. Sub-second recomputation jitter is filtered out.
Subscriber count over time
Total subscribers as reported by the timer server. The count is refreshed upstream once per minute, so the line steps rather than curves.
Not monotonic: subscriptions lapse, so the line can fall. Peak reached is a different number from final count.
Subscribers gained per hour
The first difference of the line above, bucketed hourly. This is the rate, not the total — it answers when people subscribed rather than how many there are.
What kind of activity
Subscriptions, resubs, gift subs and raids, separated by kind rather than lumped together as “events”. Decoded from the announcements Twitch posts in chat.
Counts of announcements. A single gift bomb is one event carrying many subs.
Activity by day of week
The same events grouped by weekday. Weekends and weeknights behave differently, and this is where that shows.
Activity by time of day
Every recorded event placed on a 24-hour clock, summed by hour. Read it like a compass: midnight at the bottom, noon at the top.
Hour-by-day heatmap
The same data unrolled. Each cell is one hour of one day; darker means more activity. Useful for spotting which nights ran late.
Colour runs light→dark on a single hue, so density reads correctly in greyscale and for colour-blind viewers.
Top contributors, scored as time
Ranked by seconds added rather than raw sub count, so a Tier 3 gift counts for what it is worth. Rates are set in one place and applied at read time.
Derived from gift-sub announcements in chat, which are public broadcast. Message content is not exposed here.
How contributions are distributed
How many people gave one sub, two, three, and so on. Subathon giving is almost always a long tail — most people give once, a few give a great deal — and this is the shape of it.
Counts of contributors, not of subs. A tall first bar means many one-off gifters.
Cumulative subscribers
The running total rather than the rate. A steepening curve means the pace is picking up; a flattening one means it is easing off.
Donor concentration
What share of all contributions comes from the most generous few. The diagonal is perfect equality; the further the curve bows above it, the more the total rests on a handful of people.
A Pareto curve, as in the December report. Read off the vertical where the curve crosses, say, the leftmost 20% of contributors.
Contributors over time
How many distinct people have contributed at least once, cumulatively. A flattening curve means the same people are giving again rather than new ones arriving.
Time added by hour of day
The same events as the compass on the Time of Day tab, unrolled into bars so the hours can be compared directly.
Chat volume over time
Messages per minute across both channels, counted from the recorded messages themselves. Spikes usually mark something happening on stream.
Top yapper
Who is doing the most talking, by message count. Bots are excluded — they would otherwise win by default and tell you nothing.
Counts only. What anyone actually said is not exposed here.
Messages by channel
How the conversation splits between the two chats being recorded.
Collection coverage
Whether the recorder was actually running. Gaps here mean missing data, not quiet periods — worth checking before trusting any number above.
Clock drift
The recorder’s clock minus the timer server’s, in milliseconds, on every sample. Every figure above is timestamped with the server’s clock; this shows how far the two drift apart.
Corporate Captivity: Overgrown
ZChum × OmidLive. This desktop is an unofficial stats page for the subathon,
built and run by a viewer.
Where the numbers come from.
The clock and the subscriber count are read from ZChum’s own timer, sampled every
15 seconds. Chat is recorded live from both Twitch channels. Viewer counts, the
current game and the stream title come from Twitch’s public API once a minute.
Nothing here is estimated — if a chart has no data, it draws nothing rather than
guessing.
What is stored.
Public chat messages and the public broadcast data above. Aggregate figures —
counts, rates, leaderboards — are what this page can read. Message text sits behind
a separate key that this site is never given, so it cannot be reached from here.
Archive 2025.
The icon in the corner opens the previous subathon: 583,745 messages from 7,102 chatters
between 29 October and 9 December 2025, reduced from 1.3 GB of logs.
Subscriptions are missing from it because Twitch’s VOD chat export omits them.
