Hello from the Gyre.Pro team! The story of the gaming channel StrEat started in a typical way: 2.78M subscribers, over 1.85B views, and a stable audience. It looked fine on the surface. But there were two problems: revenue didn’t match the channel's scale, and videos didn’t hold viewers long enough.

Everything changed in March 2024, when the team decided to test Gyre.Pro and add 24/7 streams to their strategy. They launched four simultaneous streams, and within weeks, the channel had reached a new level.

The problem: videos weren’t enough

Before streams, StrEat was running on autopilot. Between December 2023 and February 2024 (blue graph), all of its income came from regular videos. Streams brought almost nothing. Shorts got views but barely influenced revenue.

The situation looked like this:

  • Revenue was minimal and entirely dependent on uploads.
  • RPM stayed very low, with no growth.
  • Average watch time barely reached 1:10 minutes.

So, the views were there, but not the money or retention. The channel was stuck, not using its real potential.

The graph compares two periods:

  • Purple — performance in Dec 2023 to Feb 2024.
  • Blue — performance during three months of active 24/7 streaming (March-May 2024).

The solution: a Gyre.Pro strategy

  • Running up to 4 streams in parallel to keep grabbing attention.
  • Relaunching streams depending on activity so the “live” never stops.
  • 24/7 live effect: YouTube saw the channel as “active” and pushed it more in recommendations.


It was the turning point:

  • Streams started holding viewers and generated most of the watch time on the channel.
  • Retention and RPM were much higher on streams than on regular videos, pulling up all the averages.
  • The mix of strong retention and 24/7 activity boosted visibility and discovery. YouTube’s algorithms respond to the big picture of a channel, not just single uploads.
Streaming 24/7 turned StrEat into a profitable asset because streams brought not only more views, but also higher-value views (better RPM). That’s what drove the 5x profit increase.

2024 Results

Breaking it down:

  • In the first 3 months (March-May), 82% of channel profit came from streams.
  • Profit grew 5x compared to the previous period.
  • Stream RPM was nearly double that of regular videos.
  • The average view duration on streams was 7:14 vs. 2:32 for videos, which was 3 times longer.

In the second half of 2024, the trend only grew stronger:

  • Streams delivered over 80% of all channel revenue.
  • RPM grew another 10%.
  • 83% of watch hours came from live streams.

2025 Dynamics

Even with fewer new uploads, streams kept the channel afloat:

  • From January to June 2025, they brought in over three-quarters of total revenue.
  • RPM grew another 12% compared to the previous period.
  • The average view duration on streams hit 8:22 vs 2:16 on videos, which is 4 times longer.
  • It proves that streams keep performance steady and keep improving it.

What the stats show

The graphs make it clear:

  • March 2024 — the moment streams launched. The blue line (stream revenue) shot up and became the main driver of earnings.
  • Video RPM even dropped slightly, but the growth from streams outweighed it.
  • More streams were added, their views kept growing, and stream RPM rose by more than 20% in a year.

In short:

  • 24/7 streams deliver double the RPM of regular videos.
  • Retention on streams is 3-4x longer.
  • Even if video metrics dip a little, the channel wins overall because streams drive most of the revenue and views, and their effect keeps compounding.

Why this matters: YouTube’s algorithm doesn’t react to one video but to the overall channel picture. When you scale streams, even if video RPM drops, your channel still levels up:

  • Revenue grows several times over.
  • Stream RPM and retention lift your averages.
  • Stability guarantees compounding results for years.

Key takeaways

  • 82% of profit and 83% of watch hours come from 24/7 streams.
  • Retention and RPM on streams are much higher than on videos or Shorts.
  • 5x profit growth became possible thanks to Gyre.Pro automation.
  • Streams don’t “burn out” — their efficiency only grows.
  • The first month was active testing: trying formats and approaches to find what worked.
  • The next three months brought stability: YouTube adapted, and streams started delivering consistent, predictable results.
  • Long-term (1+ year): balanced streaming means higher RPM, longer retention, and steady revenue growth.
This case proves streaming isn’t a one-month sprint. It’s a marathon where results multiply with every step. You’re not just chasing a trend — you’re investing in growth that lasts for years.
