Ninja criticizes \u201ctoxic\u201d streamers who guilt viewers for money Ninja, YouTubeLive streaming platforms give viewers a variety of ways to support their favorite broadcasters, be it by subscribing to their channel, gifting subs, or directly donating \u2014 but some streamers have high standards for their fans, as Ninja has pointed out. Although many streamers provide fans with certain incentives to subscribe or donate to their channels, some have lashed out at their audiences for not taking monetary action in support of their careers. One such streamer went viral in January, going by the handle \u2018BadBunny,\u2019 who received a wave of backlash online after lashing out at her viewers for not subscribing \u2014 but it\u2019s not an isolated incident, as Mixer star Ninja pointed out in a March video. In a Twitter clip, Ninja directly addressed streamers who guilt-trip their viewers for not donating or subscribing, calling them \u201chorribly toxic\u201d and pointing out how fans help grow streamers\u2019 channels by simply watching and recommending their broadcasts to friends. \u201c\u2026let\u2019s say you have 700 viewers,\u201d he explained. \u201c200 are subbed. 500 aren\u2019t. Those 500 viewers who aren\u2019t subbed are following your channel, they might be telling your friends about your channel. They are active members of your chat. \u2026they might be getting their friends to subscribe to your stream. Maybe they don\u2019t have enough money.\u201d The streamer continued by reminding such broadcasters to remain humble and remember that they all began without a subscribe button, relying on views alone to grow their channel to Affiliate status. \u201cBasically saying that if you don\u2019t donate or subscribe, you aren\u2019t supporting the stream, and like F you, is just a terrible mindset,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna be doomed to fail because your viewers are where you started.\u201d 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 Ninja finished his statement with a lighthearted joke about \u201cligma,\u201d the streamer\u2019s words certainly contain a grain of wisdom, echoed by other fans and streamers in the Tweet thread. His message also comes nearly a month after Call of Duty streamer \u201cwingsofredemption\u201d demanded even more money from his viewers to keep broadcasting, upping his original $10 per hour price point to $25. While still others make a joke of such demands, guilting viewers for money doesn\u2019t seem to be an issue that will go away anytime soon, as live streaming sites continue to boom in popularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
