Kai Cenat, Sean Evans, IShowSpeed and more are being celebrated as some of the biggest digital trailblazers by Time Magazine.

On Wednesday (July 9), Time unveiled its inaugural TIME100 Creators List, which spotlights 100 of the most influential digital voices who are shaping culture through online platforms.

The issue features cover star Kai Cenat as well as other standout creators including Hot Ones host Sean Evans, MrBeast, podcast giants like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy.

Also honored were Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date, comedian Theo Von, and self-help and mindfulness podcaster Jay Shetty.

Other notable names on the list include political commentator Hasan Piker, viral food reviewer Keith Lee, IShowSpeed, Jordan Howlett (a.k.a Jordan the Stallion), and Haliey Welch, who went viral as the “Hawk Tuah Girl.” Librarian and mental health advocate Mychal Threets and multi-hyphenate Quenlin Blackwell also earned spots on the prestigious list.

"Led by changes in consumer behavior, accelerated during the pandemic, digital creators, the entrepreneurs who have built businesses through significant online followings, have emerged to shape our culture. They are changing what we watch, how we spend our time, what we buy, and how we vote," said Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs in a statement.

"Today, we release the inaugural TIME100 Creators list, in recognition of how significantly these individuals are changing the way people inform themselves … As we often say, influence comes in many forms and it can mean for better or for worse."
