Alinity responds after Ninja calls out \u201ctoxic\u201d greedy streamers Alinity, Twitch \/ Ninja, MixerMixer star Tyler \u201cNinja\u201d Blevins gave a pointed message to broadcasters who guilt-trip their fans for subscriptions and donations \u2014 but Twitch streamer Alinity weighed in on the subject with a different view. Streaming sites like Twitch often give fans the ability to support their favorite content creators in a variety of ways, from subscribing to their channels to gifting subs and even directly donating cash. However, some streamers have lashed out at their viewers for not supporting them monetarily, as seen in the case of \u2018BadBunny,\u2019 who went viral in December after hitting out at her fans for not subscribing. In response, Ninja released a statement in March directed at these streamers, who he called \u201chorribly toxic\u201d and reminded them that their viewers were to thank for their Affiliate status and ability to receive subscriptions, in the first place. However, Alinity Divine had a different view on the matter, which she explained in a detailed response to Ninja\u2019s video a day later. Second video I\u2019ve seen about a streamer ripping their viewers for not subscribing or donating. A couple of words for streamers out there that don\u2019t understand how important normal viewers are. pic.twitter.com\/lF1TiqFwyI \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) March 21, 2020 While she agreed with his sentiments on the subject, she also noted that some of these broadcasters may rely on their viewers\u2019 donations to pay their bills, and understood why they might prioritize monetary support from fans. \u201cI agree 100% with you, appreciate your viewers,\u201d she replied. \u201cBut a full-time streamer with 200 subs may be stressed about not being able to pay his bills.\u201d \u201cSo, it is easy for big streamers that don\u2019t have to deal with that stress,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou make enough in ad revenue and deals to make up for it.\u201d I agree 100% with you, appreciate your viewers. But a full time streamer with 200 subs may be stressed about not being able to pay his bills. So it is easy for big streamers that don’t have to deal with that stress, you make enough in ad revenue and deals to make up for it. https:\/\/t.co\/Bv0KCdQrMS \u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) March 22, 2020 However, plenty of commenters disagreed with her opinion, with one user arguing that broadcasters shouldn\u2019t go full-time unless they can easily pay their bills by streaming. \u201cThe problem with streaming is that your income can fluctuate a lot from month to month,\u201d Alinity responded. \u201c\u2026I think people should chase their dreams, but I also agree that you should have a safety net for slow months.\u201d The problem with streaming is that your income can fluctuate a lot from month to month. I disagree with your comment, I think people should chase their dreams, but I also agree that you should have a safety net for slow months. \u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) March 22, 2020 Neither would I. But I like to try to be understanding that other people’s situation isn’t the same as mine. I feel terribly about others struggling in times like these. \u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) March 22, 2020 I don’t think you read my tweet. I agree with what you are saying, I don’t watch anyone that yells at their viewers for not subscribing, nor I would ever do this. I just don’t think Ninja understands what it is like to struggle financially, easy for him to say. \u2014 Alinity (@Alinity) March 22, 2020 It\u2019s clear that Alinity is passionate about the subject, even though Ninja was obviously not speaking about her in his Twitter post. Instead, he probably had the aforementioned BadBunny in mind, as well as CoD content creator \u201cwingsofredemption,\u201d who recently came under fire for raising his fee from $10 to $25 per hour just to continue streaming the game. Wingsofredemption was mocked for what he said, as WoW broadcaster \u201cMcconnellRet\u201d joked about the matter to his fanbase a month later. Both sides make compelling arguments, but what\u2019s your stance on the topic? Who do you agree with \u2014 Ninja or Alinity?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
