Ninja explains why he wants a new video platform to overtake YouTube Mixer streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has explained why he thinks it\u2019s time for a new video service to take the main stage and \u201cgo up against YouTube.\u201d In the last couple of years, Ninja has seen unprecedented success on Twitch, Mixer and, of course, YouTube, but it appears he may have had enough of the video content platform if his comments in a recent stream are anything to go by. Playing Fortnite with long-time teammates Tim \u2018TimTheTatman\u2019 Betar, Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop and Dennis \u2018Cloakzy\u2019 Lepore, Ninja tried to be sensitive about the subject \u2013 especially with YouTube-exclusive CouRage playing \u2013 but his opinion became evident early on. He said: \u201cJack, I love you, and if you want me to shut up I will\u2026 I feel like if there was ever a time for another video platform to make a move\u2026 I feel like now is the time for someone to take on YouTube.\u201d Though Tim responds that this will simply \u201cnever happen,\u201d to which Ninja agrees, he continued that now is the perfect time to do it. \u201cThere are so many people complaining, and there\u2019s nowhere else to go,\u201d he said. CouRage responds to this showing faith in his friend and YouTube\u2019s Head of Gaming Ryan \u2018Fwiz\u2019 Wyatt, saying: \u201cWell, the good news is, I\u2019m confident that one day Ryan is going to take the helm and fix everything.\u201d (Timestamp 00:20 for mobile users) Interestingly, Ninja goes on to expand on this idea with a rumor that could prove terrible for content creators that use YouTube. He says \u201cI\u2019ve heard rumors, dude, that ads on gaming might be completely removed.\u201d His teammates don\u2019t respond, which could mean either that it wasn\u2019t something they were willing to talk about or something that they had no opinion or knowledge on. Whether it\u2019s true or not, it certainly seems like Ninja trusts his sources on this one. If true, the removal of ads from gaming videos could prove fatal to the lifespan of gaming content on YouTube, let alone the career aspirations of people who make their money from YouTube Gaming. Whether the rumor about ad removals is true, it\u2019s clear that Ninja feels it\u2019s time for a new video platform to overtake YouTube \u201csimilar to how Discord dominated the VoIP community.\u201d With many YouTubers complaining about YouTube algorithms, the \u2018adpocalypse\u2019 and everything else that comes with life on the platform, Ninja probably isn\u2019t the only creator that feels a new platform is due its time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
