Ninja’s Twitch Viewership has been a big hit, but he’s not bothered.
Ninja is still a familiar name when it comes to the most popular Twitch streamers around the globe. Although Ninja was the most prominent player of the game’s largest title, these facts have changed over time. Fortnite was and is technically huge, but battle royales started to steal its thunder. Ninja, the most popular streaming name, has seen his viewership decline steadily, but he seems to not mind.
Talking to The Washington Post revealed that the priorities of content creators have changed. His average viewership now ranges from 10,000 to 15,000, whereas he once entertained a large audience (e.g. 100,000 concurrent viewers). This is not a number to be taken lightly, but it’s certainly not the most eye-watering heights of his career.
Ninja has made a complete change in his life, and now he fully acknowledges that being at the top of his game is not what he wants. “No one is going to stay on top forever,” he says, particularly when it comes live-streaming.
There’s always someone new and hot. I don’t intend to be that guy. I’m aware that I won’t be able to draw 100,000 viewers on Twitch anymore. I can’t do this. I have a wife and a family.”
He continued: “I have been doing Fortnite. This is clearly what blew me up. It’s great that [again] I’m enjoying the game and can stream it and have fun with it. However, I know that I can play any other game whenever I wish and that it won’t affect any deals or anything else. It is so relaxing to be free to do what I like.
Ludwig, xQc, and Hasan Piker are not the only people who dominate Twitch’s meta right now. Everyone has their moments in the spotlight. It’s all about making sure you use your platform well to make deals, sell products and diversify your work when the spotlight shifts to someone else. This is the secret to Twitch.
