There is so much kindness in this world, but sometimes you can forget when you go around on Twitter, or on the internet, that kindness doesn\u2019t exist anymore, because people are so focused on tearing people down. \u201cIt meant a lot to me to see that, and other creators too, I hope you guys have a good night. We have good days and we have bad days. Today was a bad day for me, but the internet was there for me, somehow.\u201d Read More: When is Ninja returning to streaming? – Dakotaz is behind one of the biggest channels on Twitch, with over 4.6 million followers on the platform.
