Ninja’s First Day On Mixer: Half A Million Subscribers, Mixer App Skyrockets to #1 Most Downloaded App on iOS App Store
- Thread starter Rychu
- Start date
It;s still higher than his twitch baseline so your observation isn't saying that much
Part of his pay is for the advertising he brings. Everyone is talking about Mixer now and whatever he's getting paid is a drop in the bucket for MS.
Time isn't free. People had to make an effort to subscribe.
Loving all the downplaying!
You think it's wild a streaming service had to acquire a big streamer to get eyeballs on it?
Yes but its not a free sub for the rest of time. Ninja brings people in and many of those people that followed him on Twitch, will follow him on Mixer, even when its costs to subscribe.
He will literally be down to 5k or less subs the next month. Almost guaranteed. So we will just have to see
Okay. Let's check out on September 4 to see if you're right (you won't be)
Why the downplaying?
That is his point - that it's wild that this is Microsoft's only option to save Mixer as a platform.
5k or less paying subs would still be much better than Mixer viewership was before the deal.
How is that wild though? What would YOU suggest any streaming site to do to take people away from twitch?
Obviously. But it will show that the comparison that this article is making is fairly moot. Yes they point out they are free, but still. It won't even be close to as impressive as his peak was on twitch with actual paid subscribers longer term
In principal, it's wild. The general idea that any streaming site would have to pay $50m in an attempt to drive mindshare away from Twitch. This would apply to any streaming site, so I don't know why you're being so defensive of something that ultimately isn't set in stone.
Every one of those many days that he is on Mixer it goes down.
I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it, I'm just saying it's wild that it came to this. They couldn't get the platform to become more popular despite trying many things. They've advertised the heck out of Mixer and I even remember being at E3 the other year where their entire floor space in the main con hall was all about Mixer. Personally, giving dlc bonuses to certain games through watching streams on Mixer got me to occasionally use it. But despite that I always default to Twitch because it's much better integrated into the things and devices I use. However if Microsoft keeps pushing the platform I wouldn't be opposed to using it over Twitch. It would probably piss people off, but say for example Microsoft paid a big tourney like Evo to stream exclusively on Mixer I wouldn't mind.
Absolutely. It's become big business.
On the edge right side drag it to the left. You probably closed it sometime in the past
His last ever twitch stream had 46k as the average. His peak in June was 231k. His all time peak was 617k.
Ehh I don't think it's wild. It's part of their marketing budget. And it's working. It's certainly smart. I don't think this'll be the last time we see something like this happen.
Ha, that's a good idea! I could definitely see that happen. And it likely wouldn't be that expensive. These tournaments could likely use every bit of cash offered to them.
Mixer is the Epic Game Store of steaming sites confirmed.
I don't think it's downplaying to be curious to where everything settles A month from now. Initially though this is great.
