Even if the streamer Ninja presented himself to the outside world almost inviolable and transformed into a different, more energetic and louder person in his livestreams , which were mostly about Fortnite, the attacks and accusations of some (former) fans on Twitch got through. In a confession , Ninja tells about his time on Mixer for the first time and he gets quite emotional. After switching to Microsoft's streaming platform , he lost the majority of his fans and accordingly the number of viewers fell from an average of 77,000 to less than a tenth of them (everything for streaming).
Ninja: Streamer with unexpected confession after shutdown of Mixer
Often the streamer Ninja was annoyed or even attacked to a certain extent that he only has so few viewers on Mixer , compared to his time on Twitch . According to rumors, Ninja will stream exclusively on Microsoft's mixer for a $ 30 million deal . Many fans didn't like that and so the streamer defended himself with words like “ Whoever says that has no idea ” or “ I'm fine on Mixer ” and “ I have so much money, I could buy someone homeless ”. But the hard shell contains a soft core, as Ninja, who lives in Chicago, are now revealed for the first time in this confession. In fact, he was so devastated that his wife Jessica suggested that he stop streaming and "leave this life behind".
He speaks out in an interview with the online magazine Hollywood Reporter. The time spent on Mixer and above all the loss of so many fans was “frustrating, but foreseeable” for the well-known streamer Ninja , as he reveals in a surprising confession . However, he did not expect that it would hurt him so much if "only" around 7,000 fans watched his streams . After Mixer finally went offline, Ninja is now unbound with regard to any contracts and, according to rumors, may even be in negotiations with his next, as yet undisclosed streaming platform. Streamer colleague Dr Disrespect, meanwhile, reveals where he definitely doesn't want to switch *.
Ninja: Streamer breaks the silence about his emotional state and the streaming
After the end of Mixer , Ninja opened up and speaks in a confession about his feelings. In 2018 in particular, he was particularly afraid of losing fans with every minute he didn't stream . The committed streamer did n't want to interrupt his gaming sessions, which were followed by several thousand fans , even for important phone calls or the like. When he switched to Mixer , his fear became a reality and he lost most of his fans . But he did not want to give up and together with the streamer Shroud, who also moved there, helped the streaming platform Mixer to grow. But unfortunately that didn't work out even after the greatest effort.
Grateful for this opportunity, and excited to see what the future holds. Thank you, @THR for a wonderful cover and piece. https://t.co/ebZ8ZoWJNJ
