Ninja loses 88% of his viewers in 3 years on Twitch: Slightly stuck

In 2018, Tyler was Ninja Blevins Fortnite the most successful streamers on Twitch. Over the year, the ambitious shooter streamer reached an average of over 77,000 spectators. After a digression on Mixer Ninja is back on Twitch, but has much fewer viewers than its heyday. In an interview he says the days of the past are over. Twitch has changed. As pure Gamer one can not shine so on Twitch. Unhappy he is not.

How have evolved the numbers of ninja?

In 2018 Ninja reached 77,719 viewers on average. He was for 3,013 hours on the air — a daily average of more than 8 hours, including Sundays and holidays. As peak, he saw to 617,767 simultaneous viewers; the record last long. At the time he also set a record for most subscriptions; and the record is now broken. In the last 6 months in 2021 Ninja reached 9,297 spectators on average. He was 606 hours on the air — on average are the nearly 3.7 hours per day. At the maximum it reached 41,003 viewers. If your Ninja has calculated the lost about 88% of its average viewer. Here Ninja with 17.04 million followers still the channel on Twitch, by far has the most followers.

No one stays forever at the top

This tells ninja this crash: In an interview with the Washington Post Ninja says:

No one stays forever at the top, especially when it comes to live-streaming, there is always someone who is new and hot. I have no intention more to be that guy. I know that I can draw on Twitch no 100,000 more viewers. Furthermore, I have not the time for that. Furthermore, I have a wife. Furthermore, I have a family.

Ninja sometimes seems unfairly assessed to see, because fans rate him only after the number of audience, which is emblazoned on every visible in the stream. But today he had a different focus: He was on platforms like YouTube or go teach a UN World Cup of Venus Williams. He is not a pure Twitch streamer more like 2018th

Does that have benefits? According Ninja is the biggest advantage is that it is now much more freely, which game he gambles when he streams. He says he has to play no longer compulsively Fortnite, the game that made him great. The online shooter he plays only today if he wants him.

2021 he can play what he wants, which had no impact on his deal and was incredibly relaxing.

Before, when streaming is not mainstream was all just gambled

How different in 2018 from 2021? Ninja says, sooner than Streaming is not mainstream was you could not make much out of stream. He therefore hate these countless hours out, but that burn people just made. 365 days at a stretch stream without time or go out events — that is simply wrong.

While he was gone only a few years, today ruled another generation of streamers Twitch. People like Ludwig, Hasan Abi or QC not only play, but also interact constantly with the community:

These young incredible Creators like Tommy Unit, Ludwig, QC, Hasan — some of which are not really gamers. A few of them make it easy IRL content and explode. It is great.

Ninja

For himself Ninja but does not see this role:

Literally, this is the reason why I put a little tight, or the reason that since I'm just where I am: I love gaming and will always love. I want to be a reaction-streamer which sit around 8 hours, and watched videos. I do in my stream, and I am now in the game. The stream goes live, the intro is over, and I'm in the queue for a game. I play. That's all I want to do.

Twitch is wider and often deals with itself — Ninja does not fit into this time

This is behind it: Ninja describes a change on Twitch. The content of today's largest streamer QC, is becoming much less a single game as the content of Ninja earlier. Blevins only Fortnite that time simply gambled every day, again and again.

QC and other popular Streamer also deal with gaming, but not only. The focus is expanded, the Streamer discuss all sorts of things that somehow are circulating a video on the web: politics, social issues or funny animal videos.

Mainly discuss Streamer as QC, which is also on a meta-level at Twitch itself off. You spend hours discussing why Streamer in Valkyrie gets involved in a deal with a cosmetics company that sells protection against blue light, or talk about the fact that Train wreck clashed with EA because of gambling.

Again and again they cater to the chat.

This is a development that does not find some old twitch fans well, but is becoming more and more popular. Even Ludwig, one of the most successful new streamer, recently warned that the Reaction Streams slowly go too far, everyone reacts only to make no reasonable content on which will be reacted.

Ninja too strong with a game, Fortnite, connected

However, the extreme drop in Ninja spectator numbers can not be alone that Twitch has changed. Because the Streamer Shroud reaches 2021 almost the same audience numbers as in 2018 — and that was longer away, is actually a pure gaming streamer and fits, after Ninja's theory, no longer in today.

Ninja's spectator-shrink is certainly because he was absolutely connected to Fortnite and with the interest in Fortnite, also the interest in Ninja Sch wand. Streamers like Shroud, on the other hand, have never been so dependent on a game. Even WoW Taste Mongol has managed to get away from the pure WOW streamer — Ninja is obviously never succeeded in the form.

Ninja, in any case, his break has been in princely paying for Mixer, and although he is over-ambitious and the loss of his relevance is certainly at him, he seems to find himself with his new role that he no longer sits on the pulse of the Twitch Zeitgeist.

In contrast to Ninja, another streamer from 2018 has managed to establish itself on Twitch:
