However, not all of his emotions were negative, and he ultimately wound up appreciating the video\u2019s original creator for making it. It\u2019s extremely difficult to maintain a career as a streamer. Whether it be the crushing weight of having to go live each day, Twitch contracts that force you to stream an overwhelming amount of time as some creators have alleged, or people just moving on to new content, there\u2019s a lot that can cause someone to \u201cfall off\u201d. Myth is one such creator whose following has shrunk in the time after Fortnite\u2019s heyday. Though there are many who still know of him, he isn\u2019t at the top of the Twitch world like he used to be. However, he didn\u2019t seem all that sad when watching a video explaining why his viewership has fallen so far. Rather, he was happy with what he\u2019s accomplished up to this point and came away feeling positive about his journey as a creator. Myth looks back fondly on his career despite having \u201cfallen off\u201d Myth hasn\u2019t been shy about losing his following over the years, with even himself explaining why he fell off in his own YouTube video over a year ago. He explained that he couldn\u2019t keep up with being the \u201cFortnite guy\u201d and that he felt he was \u201carrogant\u201d at the time without the skill to back it up. Even when Myth was reacting to a video made by creator Directed by Fainted, he was laughing at his own mistakes, often agreeing with the YouTuber even as he pointed out where Myth\u2019s viewership dropped off. For instance, when a game called V Rising was mentioned as a game he pulled around 60 viewers playing, good memories rushed back to him. \u201cV Rising! Yes! Dude, I had the time of my life. These were so good. V Rising was so much fun, I wanna go back. I would do it all over again, holy s*** V Rising was so much fun.\u201d Though Myth was surprisingly upbeat through the video, he did take some moments to reflect on where he lost a lot of his viewership. When a viewer roasted him a bit on the topic, he agreed. \u201c\u2018The most consistent thing you did was be inconsistent in what you wanted to do.\u2019 I mean\u2026 Yeah. I\u2019m not gonna lie, it\u2019s really hard for me to determine what the f*** I actually want to do in the industry. I think, a lot of the time, there hasn\u2019t really been enough time for me to sit down with myself and genuinely think about that. Just because I have to stream every day. I can\u2019t not stream every day.\u201d And, when the move from Twitch to YT was discussed as one of the reasons for his declining viewership, he wasn\u2019t shy about his motivations. \u201cNobody can deny that I\u2019m bag chasing. If you hate me for it, so be it dude.\u201d Ultimately, Fainted wound up praising Myth for \u201cstaying true to himself\u201d and trying to become a variety streamer. This is where Myth ultimately broke down, but not in sadness. Rather, he was overcome by emotion thinking about the path he\u2019s had up to this point. \u201cIt is crazy how little I look back on what I\u2019ve done and I feel good about it, you know? This video kind of helped me see that. It just feels really good, man.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myth breaks down after watching YouTube documentary about him \u201cfalling off\u201d In a vulnerable on-stream moment, Myth was overwhelmed by emotion after watching a video explaining his fall from the top of the streaming world.
