Yonna Jay’s setup

From a broken PS4 to Streamer University’s drama department

The best gear story in streaming: she built her audience streaming off a PlayStation 4 until it literally broke mid-2025, Kai Cenat gifted her a $5,000 PC live on stream, and a year later she runs the drama department at Streamer University 2026. Her exact current gear is unpublished, so alongside the documented story we list the starter kit we would pair with that PC.
