Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is leaving Twitch
Streaming video game star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has decided to leave Twitch. He made the decision because he felt like the streaming website didn’t respect his wishes and was limiting his growth outside of gaming. Here’s what you need to know about the former “Fortnite” star. Read on to find out why he’s leaving.
The gamer, who has more than 15 million subscribers on both YouTube and Twitch, has a loyal fan base that stretches to millions of followers on each site. He was the first streamer to earn an exclusive Fortnite skin and is a major name in the battle royale game, Fall Guys. While his departure from Twitch may seem like a step backwards, it is likely to keep the streaming service ahead of its rivals.
Mixer is another streaming service with a stricter community. While Twitch has been known to reward streaming creators for their work, many streamers have paid with lost sleep, depression, and grueling. In addition to a large financial loss, even a day away from streaming can cost a streamer’s subscribers and donors. Mixer is also far smaller and has much lower stakes, allowing Blevins to focus on other projects. His first livestream is expected to begin Aug. 2 during the Lollapalooza music festival.
Ninja is the most popular gamer and streamer in history. He has earned millions of fans and is the most influential streamer on the platform. His recent departure from Twitch comes as a shock to fans of gaming. The streamer was suspended by Mixer in July, when one of its streamers posted pornographic content on its platform. The streaming giant said that it would no longer host Blevins’ livestreams.
In the past year, Blevins had been an integral part of the gaming industry, with 14 million followers. His popularity has increased with the popularity of Fortnite. Blevins has become an iconic figure in the gaming world. According to Blevins’ latest report, Microsoft has paid Blevins $20-30 million for a multi-year exclusivity deal. Blevins has yet to announce his official departure from Twitch.
Ninja returns to Twitch in 2020
If you’re a fan of competitive video games, you’ve probably heard the news that Ninja is returning to Twitch. While he’s been absent from Twitch since August 2018, his first return to the platform was this July. His return stream drew 98,726 viewers at its peak. And he’s bringing DrLupo with him. But why would Ninja want to come back to Twitch?
The answer to this question is simple: Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins is one of the world’s most popular video game content creators. He recently announced a multi-year streaming deal with Twitch, ending his contract with Mixer. Blevins reportedly received up to $30 million from Microsoft for streaming on Mixer, which was closed by Microsoft last month. Blevins has been searching for a new streaming platform. After leaving Mixer, Blevins has been broadcasting on Twitch and YouTube.
After more than a year of not streaming on Twitch, Blevins has finally decided to make the big switch and return to the video-streaming service. After leaving Mixer to focus on his content, Blevins signed a multi-year streaming deal with Amazon-owned Twitch. Ninja has fifteen million followers, but has been silent since then. Apparently, Blevins didn’t find a lucrative deal with either platform, and felt more comfortable returning to Twitch.
While Mixer may have been a much more lucrative deal for Blevins, he still has to compete with YouTube, which has made him a hot commodity in the gaming industry. But there’s no denying that Ninja is back, and the streaming service is willing to pay a lot of money for its star. The rumor is that Facebook Gaming is the new “it” site, and that Blevins could return to Twitch.
While the decision to return to Twitch is a major step in Blevins’ career, it’s not surprising that the esports player has not yet signed an exclusive streaming contract. After all, he’s 29 years old and one of the most popular gamers in the world. His fans would certainly be excited to see him back at Twitch. With a new deal with the streaming service, Ninja will likely be able to maintain a lead over rivals.
He leaves Twitch because he doesn’t want to be known as a YouTuber
Tyler Blevins, aka Ninja, has announced that he is leaving Twitch and moving to Mixer, a gaming streaming platform owned by Microsoft. The reason for his decision to move to Mixer is largely because he feels that the social media platform does not respect his wishes and stifles his growth outside of the gaming industry.
Although his content is controversial, Ninja’s popularity is undoubtedly due to his ability to break records and achieve firsts. In fact, he was the first content creator to have a Fortnite skin, and he broke Twitch’s streaming record by streaming Drake. His popularity is so high that he is the most subbed Twitch streamer ever.
In recent years, Twitch has been making less money and negotiating contracts has become increasingly difficult for content creators. According to Lupo, he would have to stream similar amounts to Twitch in order to get paid as much as he does on YouTube. YouTube’s offer would allow him to stream less but would guarantee his “security for life.”
Despite his disinterest in becoming a YouTuber, Ninja has made millions by playing video games for nearly 12 a day. He earns an impressive amount of money from Twitch, and is one of the highest paid streamers on the site. He also earns $180,000 per month on average from his Twitch subs. It may not be a perfect world, but he does have plenty of reasons to be happy with his new career path.
He turns down the offer to move to Facebook Gaming
Zack James, known as Its Noob, streams PUGB Mobile from his PC for eight to twelve each day. Back in early October, he applied to join Facebook’s Level Up program. Facebook gaming creators receive a $5 to $20 bonus for every new subscriber they attract. Until 2021, they will also get a cut of all the revenue generated from subs. While most streaming services take a cut of mobile purchases, Facebook is paying creators for every new sub.
Jeremy Wang’s Twitch channel fell silent after signing with Facebook in November, but he has retained a large following, with 1.3 million subscribers. After his return, a large amount of fans feared that he’d abandon his channel. But Wang quickly clarified that his Facebook deal is still valid. Despite his decision, Jeremy Wang will continue to stream non-gaming content on Twitch.
Disguised Toast was also approached by Facebook. He claims to have received a 1/30th of the Facebook offer, but less than Twitch. While that’s disappointing, the fact remains that it’s possible he will end up on another streaming site – a move to Facebook Gaming might limit his options for the time being. If he decides to leave Twitch, it will be a blow for his Twitch viewers.
According to the news outlet, Facebook Gaming has been trying to get Mizfit and Ninja2 to join its platform, but the two have both rejected their offers. As a result, they have two streams to choose from – YouTube and Twitch. However, if they get an offer, they will choose the latter, despite their large fan base on the former platform. In addition, he may decide to stay on YouTube gaming, but he will continue to stream his Twitch videos.
Though Facebook Gaming offers more money, Twitch has a wider audience, more viewers, and more potential for growth. While Facebook Gaming is still a rival for Twitch, Facebook is still a giant in the live streaming world. It may even overtake it in the future, but until then, Twitch will continue to be the king of gaming. So, what makes him decide to move to Facebook Gaming?
