Ninja hits back at Tfue for \u201cinsulting\u201d his Mixer viewership Twitch: Tfue \/ Mixer: NinjaStreamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has spoken out against fans and fellow streamers who have criticized him for his dwindling viewership figures on Mixer compared to Twitch, particularly from Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney. In their most recent public bust-up, of which there have been many, Tfue mocked Ninja\u2019s viewership on his new platform of choice, which has seen a significant drop since his high-flying days on Twitch. It\u2019s no secret that Tfue and Ninja don\u2019t see eye-to-eye, but Blevins has not taken kindly to this dig at his channel\u2019s numbers, speaking out during a stream on June 2. For a recap of Ninja and Tfue\u2019s turbulent history, first watch our breakdown of their rivalry: After a viewer prompted Ninja to comment on his concurrent viewing numbers, he said \u201cI don\u2019t care. So many people, it\u2019s their number one roast. Both times Tfue tried insulting me, he\u2019s talking about \u2018how I need clout, my views are going down.\u2019 \u201cTaking pictures of the lowest that my stream numbers are every day. Dude, I\u2019m still pulling on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, millions of views. When I upload Fortnite to YouTube, I get millions of views. Seemingly responding directly to Tfue, Ninja continued, \u201cI\u2019m doing just fine man. Just because my livestream numbers are down because I\u2019m on a platform that contains less than 5% total hours livestreaming watched a year.\u201d He went on to say that pulling 10,000 concurrent viewers on Mixer is akin to pulling 80-90,000 viewers on Twitch, due to the already larger viewership base that naturally exists on Twitch. He also highlights Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, another of Twitch\u2019s most popular channels who moved to Mixer. \u201cThe fact shroud and I can stream tournaments and pull 10,000 viewers or more on Mixer [\u2026] is incredible.\u201d He also criticized other figures in the scene for mocking Mixer in general, in particular calling out esports journalist Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau, who has often joked about Mixer\u2019s comparatively low viewers. \u201cI\u2019ve said this before, like Slasher dude, he\u2019s trolling, but it doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d Ninja explained. \u201cEvery time there\u2019s a huge live event going on, he\u2019s like \u20182 million viewers watching on Twitch, 1 million on YouTube, seven and a half on Mixer.\u201d \u201cMoving to Mixer was massive, and it wasn\u2019t just for me,\u201d Ninja concludes, \u201cI didn\u2019t do it just for me either. One of the main reasons was that if we do this, it\u2019s going to set the precedent that a lot of platforms are going to have start paying to keep, and paying people to move, platforms.\u201d While Ninja\u2019s viewership has undoubtedly seen a massive drop since moving to Mixer (as has shroud\u2019s), he clearly still feels it was the right move in the long run, and not just for himself. Many speculated that he simply moved for the financial incentive offered by Microsoft\u2019s platform, but he argues there is more to it than that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
