Ninja\u2019s WIRED video has an insane amount of dislikes and one Reddit user explains why A fan of the gaming community has taken to Reddit to give an in-depth take on why popular Twitch streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins\u2019 recent video on WIRED has received so much hate. Ninja set another major precedent for the gaming community by appearing on the popular YouTube channel WIRED and answering some of the web\u2019s most search questions. Despite the fact that Ninja was included in a series that normally features famous celebrities and athletes, the video sits at over 150,000 dislikes, compared to 267,000 likes. Reddit user \u2018TheTroyFields,\u2019 who claims to be a gaming fan for over 10 years, is very disappointed that so many people in the Fortnite communtiy would dislike a video that features on of their own on such a big stage. Read More: Top mobile Fortnite player proves his skill in response to getting publicly doubted by Ninja – He chalks it up to being \u201ca slap in the face to the gaming community as a whole,\u201d claiming that \u201cmost people disliked the video to troll or hurt Ninja\u2019s brand.\u201d He goes on to say, however, that he feels as though Ninja\u2019s brand is strong enough to not suffer much damage from this, and that this massive spree of dislikes actually hurts every other big gaming content creator\u2019s chances at huge success. His thought process is that many of these prominent entertainment hubs that don\u2019t normally focus on gaming, such as WIRED, will now be dismayed from going the gaming route again out of fear that similar hate will surface again. \u201cThe only thing these dislikes are doing successfully is telling media sources and other companies that \u2018you don\u2019t want to [create] content on gamers,’\u201d he writes. \u201cNinja will still have his media appearances and publicity, the community will just ruin every other streamer\u2019s chances to have these same opportunities.\u201d He adds that if the Fortnite community and its content creators are to thrive beyond just the sphere of the game, all of the players, viewers, and fans to rally around the streamers and YouTubers and show collective support. He uses League of Legends as a prime example of how a community and esport has maintained its prominence due to fans giving their unwavering support and putting aside their personal agendas and biases. You can read the Reddit post in its entirety below, as well as view Ninja\u2019s WIRED video where he answers the web\u2019s most searched questions. Hey Everyone, I\u2019ve been a gaming fan for over 10 years now, especially in esports and the overall evolution of the gaming industry. Watching the growth of Fortnite has been nothing short of incredible. While in no way is Fortnite perfect, the tournament prize money, twitch viewership, and media outreach is years before its time. It\u2019s a damn great time to be a gamer and I think it\u2019ll only continue to improve.That being said, the only way this game can continue to thrive is through the support of this community. The communities reaction to Ninja\u2019s WIRED video (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FmKhO_RCd0Uis) is a slap in the face to the gaming community as a whole. This video having 145k dislikes at the time of writing is sad and to be truthfully honest disgusting. I\u2019m not here to defend Ninja. But we have a gamer and TWITCH STREAMER, I REPEAT A TWITCH STREAMER on a segment that usually features the most famous movie stars and music artists. While most people disliked this video to troll or hurt Ninja\u2019s brand, but his brand is already well established and the trolling is already obvious to the entire community. The only thing these dislikes are doing successfully is telling media sources and other companies is that you don\u2019t want to content on GAMERS. Ninja will still have his media appearances and publicity, the community will just ruin every other streamers chance to have these same opportunities. You won\u2019t see a WIRED video with Tfue, Tim, Daequan or any other streamer you support and want to see succeed. What I consider to be the most successful game\/esport\/gaming community is League of Legends. Having been around for over 9 years, having the most viewed esports events, and being one of the first games to break into the mass media is just a few of its successes. The reason the league of legends community has thrived for so long is due to the unwaivering support of its fans. The fans are able to put aside their personal agendas and opinions and look at ANY content objectively to say \u201cWow, this is awesome for the game\u201d \u201cDan Gilbert and the Houston Rockets invested in league, this is huge for Esports\u201d. Fans cared about not only the game, but the success of the gaming industry as a whole. I want to see Fornite, Streamers, this community, and gaming thrive for a very long time. In order for that to be possible is through the community supporting EVERYONE. Please put your personal opinions aside and be happy for this community\/gaming as a whole, because when one person eats we all eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
