Ninja is back to streaming on Twitch and currently has over 95k viewers. I'll be curious to see how his viewership does over the coming weeks as I'm sure many people are tuning in to see his return.

100k viewers already, holy shit.

I have been beating the drum for a while now that his return stream would be HUGE. I think he's a nobody outside of the streaming world, but he's still very relevant within it. People who ask "Ninja is still relevant?" are really unaware of the pull that clown gets on a major platform.

I knew people are loyal to platforms/stores, but not to streaming sites lol.

Got paid to go to Mixer, got paid to leave Mixer and now he's probably getting good money back on Twitch with the wide audience he used to have. This move ended up being really smart for him, wow.

And even if he doesn't partner, can't streamers still monetize their streams via donations and sub costs and stuff like that?
He's making money regardless lol.

I'm just saying he may take a different approach this time as he may not want to be locked down to one platform. He seems have his sight on being what they used called Howard Stern--king of all media lol.

I said it before and I'll say it again, NINJA SHOULD WRITE HIS OWN VERSION OF THE ART OF THE DEAL

He has 24 million Youtube subscribers. Anyone who doesnt think Ninja is big in video games is a fool.

This Ninja really finessed the game. Congrats, can't knock his hustle.
I wouldn't really call it a finesse or a hustle unless he knew ahead of time that he would completely fail to pull an audience and ultimately cause Mixer to shut down

By all means it was a terrible decision popularity/relavancy wise he and Shroud just got very lucky

Did he really get a deal though? I doubt it's there's like two platforms - really only one

It's not really loyalty to twitch, more just that those other streaming sites don't have the streamers worth watching. I don't watch twitch much anymore but when I used to I wasn't just watching one person.

It's the convenience of having everything in one place. If one person I follow isn't streaming, then there's always another person I follow that is. With Mixer, if Ninja or Shroud wasn't streaming, who are you going to watch?

Tune in and he is still bitching about any bullet hitting him. As annoying as always...
