Ninja hits 1,000,000 active subs on Mixer in less than a week
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Ad free stream and chat emotes. Each streamer will have their own unique emotes.
It's like watching sports on TV, sure you can play the game/sport, but you may not be as good as a pro athlete/streamer and it can be exciting seeing two great teams duking it out on a sport or watching someone who's really good at the dominate the competition. For example, I love Overwatch and even though I don't watch him often, it's nice seeing Valkia (one of the top Pharah players) go to town and just shred teams in high level comp. I'm a pretty good player, but I don't have the time to invest and get THAT good.
On occasion I'd watch a stream if they're doing something that I probably couldn't do myself. I don't see myself ever paying for a sub, I only really use the "Free" one from Twitch Prime.
Aren't the current subs all free? Month 2 is what matters but this data is definitely interesting
So in 3 months people have to pay to see a nerd play games, nahh I barely want to pay a monthly fee to play. Much less paying to see other playing. Sorry is just me.
Not sure if I get the wording correctly, but it seems you might only get 1 free month, but you have 2 months to claim it. At least it mentions 1 month sub until September somewhere.
And yes his sub count will definetly fall by 90%+, but dude will still earn some nice extra millions from this month. And since sub counts aren't public we will likely never know unless mixer is already getting tracked by some site that watches for every sub message

It's naive to assume that Halo is going to be anywhere close to the streaming darling that Fortnite is. It certainly won't hurt for Halo marketing though.
Ninja tried streaming other games before and it caused a huge hit to his viewer count.
Yep and also most bigger streamers have "subscriber-only chat" to keep the toxic shit out. I have seen streamers ban their own subs for saying dumb shit though...
Everyone will use their Game Pass 14 Day Trial to keep their sub going.
(joking)
While this is true I still think it might be time to stop the downplaying. In less than a week a million people has actively choosen to make sure they don't miss him play. That's kinda big even if it's free. And even if he's losing 75% of all followers next month he would still have as many as his peak level on Twitch.
Hide numbers? This is good promotion and hook to get people checkout Mixer at different levels, as non-sub and then hook into Ninja as free sub for a month. Even when number is really soft and there will be drop this also has potential for some decent retention into the Mixer ecosystem.
Since when stating fact about number being soft is downplaying? It's soft even if it's really nice and big number. Once people have to pony up own cash there will be drop. That retention number will be far more interesting as it will give better data about Mixer as ecosystem and how Ninja can do there when compared to Twitch.
Will Twitch counter by offering PewDiePie a $100million deal to leave Youtube and stream Minecraft exclusively on Twitch for 8 hours a day? The streaming platform wars are gonna be good.
Well ya say this but I can tell you that no one was watching Fortnite before the Battle Royale mode (real shame since I thought Save the World was actually a bit of fun).
What I'm trying 'ta say is, you'll never know! Infinite might break a few records!
He streams exclusively somewhere else I believe (DLive I think it's called). Funnily he is still a Twitch partner despite that. Ninja's partnership was ended instantly.
I didn't even think of that. That's a fucking smart move by MS.
No free Twitch Prime sub is going to bust him pretty hard eventually.
Free Mixer sub with Gamepass when?
Free Mixer sub with Gamepass when?
But I thought Ninja was irrelevant now and nobody watches Mixer???
lol Seriously though, Good for him, this is great to see.

Thank goodness the detectives on ERA are here to remind me every other day that NINJA, the gaming master of all time, is popular. I mean, I see his merch in popular retail stores like 5 and below and I've seen him on mainstream television now as well, but I really wasn't sure if he was popular or not until today. This clearly means Mixer will be taking over twitch and MS will be handing out mega deals to all the popular streamers. Twitch's days are numbered. I'm sure this news will please all the people who seem to have a hard on for mixer and it's exclusivity with popular all time best gamer ever, ninja.
Really though. I have a tough time taking this as a win for anybody but ninja. I just don't believe the people who play Fortnite and follow the guy on the front page are all that loyal or committed to mixer as a platform and I don't think it signals anything but MS throwing around their wad of money. Good to see capitalism in effect I guess?

I don't think anyone doubted that his viewers would follow him, why wouldn't they?
The question is if other streamers and viewers will
This was definitely a cheap win for Microsoft, but unless they have a second act planned to take advantage of this mixer boost, we know how this ends.
Ninja is probably making too much to call him the loser in all of this, but he definitely won't be the streamer he was once this surge is over, in terms of actual viewership numbers. Maybe it will be good for his brand though.

Exactly, manipulating his fans into signing up/using their unpopular service was the goal.
You cut that out right now! Making sense of an endorsement deal, how dare you! The narrative must always be Mixer/Microsoft will fail so they should not try. Period.
Just Ninja.
Would be neat if you could sub to anyone though, nice incentive to explore the site and discover new streamers.
That is lame.
That is basically saying that all other streamers won't be treated the same.
Why not make the free subs open to every streamer. Even if 95% would go to Ninja anyway.
There's something called Google you can use to find the answer to your question.
