The Jam Grandma was a YouTuber and a special kind of Twitch streamer. MeinMMO introduces her to you here.
Who is it about? It’s about the Jam Grandma, whose real name was Helga Josefa. She was a 94-year-old Twitch streamer and YouTuber. She was supported in her video career by her grandson Jannik, who mainly handled the technical components.
Already in April 2016, the Jam Grandma was active on YouTube, but she received a boost in her viewer numbers in 2017 thanks to the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Gronkh.
On Twitch and YouTube, the Jam Grandma filled a very special niche: reading aloud. Every Saturday at 8 PM, viewers could gather in her chat to listen to the 94-year-old read aloud.
She also published her own book: My Life is (Not) a Fairy Tale. In the book, the Jam Grandma tells her life story and reports among other things about her setbacks, through which she did not let herself be defeated.

On March 6, 2026, it was announced that the Jam Grandma had unexpectedly passed away two days earlier. In a Reddit post, the family spoke up:
We stood by her side and accompanied her. Her loving nature, empathy, and kindness, and not least her fairy tales gave us all so much!
A forthcoming Twitch stream in the name and memory of the Jam Grandma was also announced.
How does the community remember? The comments under the Reddit post express condolences:

- MadBee0815 thinks on Reddit: She was somehow one of the few peaceful corners, a safe space in the loud internet. I really liked her lovely fairy tale reading streams and will miss her! I’m sad! Rest in peace!
The community around the Twitch streamer Gronkh also remembers the Jam Grandma:

For the Twitch community, the Jam Grandma provided a place where they could spend their evening in a cozy atmosphere.
Twitch and YouTube are by no means platforms where only young people find a place. On YouTube, the Skyrim Grandma was long active, who, as her name suggests, continued to come up with new stories in The Elder Scrolls V: The Elder Scrolls 6 is taking so long to arrive that even the “Skyrim Grandma” is getting bored, who gained 1 million followers on YouTube with the role-playing game
