Ninja leaves Twitch for Mixer

Ninja has 14.7 million follows on Twitch. He was just un-partnered as he leaves his contract on Twitch to sign an exclusive streaming deal with Microsoft's platform, Mixer: https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/ninja-mixer-twitch-1203288169/

He already has 140,000 followers on there: https://mixer.com/Ninja

What do you guys think about this? How much do you think Ninja was paid to move to Mixer?

Must be a hell of a deal!

I would guess its at least 8 figures over x amount of years. Twitch has become a shit show lately and hopefully the competition will make them start changing their ways.

Man... if only I could have been paid to play video games...

yea they have to be paying him good money. This kid is set but shit make the money while you can.

Signing the most famous streamer.. that must have cost 20M+

I'm not all that familiar with Twitch, but why do you say it's a "shit show"?

Twitch is a great platform to stream on because of how organized it is. I assume he said "shit show" because how biased they are of some streamers giving them basically immunity over everyone else.

Who is this guy?

Blue hair fortnite guy.

IMO Twitch is the future of social media interaction.

Amazing how it has picked on from doing the basic....

Twitch doesn't get a pass for ethics and relations with their affiliates. They have treated their streamers very bias - appealing to female streamers who make up far fewer than their Male counterparts - and at times quite unfavorably if they don't act a certain way. I say have at it, Mixer! Shake things up.

Can mixer.com(Microsoft) and Dlive.tv beat Twitch.tv(Amazon) ?

who else actually laughed at the promo video, the red bull mini fridge had the best question of them all

That's crazy. I'm really not sure it's the best long term move for him.

It seems more and more people are getting pissed off with how blatantly they favor female streamers. Not all, but there are a few that can get away with breaking the TOS and be protected.

I don't think Mixer will over take them any time soon but it's nice they have some competition to keep them on their toes.

He got paid a shit ton of money i'm sure but yes its a good and healthy move imo give twitch the competition so they aren't complacent and actually try to improve the platform.
