PewDiePie claims he knows the real reason Ninja moved to Mixer YouTube: PewDiePie\/Ninja\/MixerYouTube King Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has shared some of his thoughts on what may have prompted Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins to leave streaming platform Twitch, in favor of Microsoft\u2019s Mixer. Ninja originally announced he would be leaving Twitch in a Twitter video on August 1, in which he was interviewed by himself, as he explained the move over to Mixer. In the video, he argues the move will allow him to \u201cget back in touch with my roots and remember why I fell in love with streaming in the first place\u201d. He first streamed via Mixer while at Lollapalooza on August 2. Shortly after the announcement, PewDiePie has shared his thoughts on the biggest Twitch streamer over the last couple of years leaving the number one platform, in favor of a lesser known one. \u201cNinja\u2019s streaming on Mixer?\u201d laughs the 29 year old Swede. \u201cOh that\u2019s funny. I saw it in the comments, and I didn\u2019t understand. I mean, good for him.\u201d \u201cJack told me yesterday,\u201d he continued. \u201cMixer came to me with a lot of money, and all of a sudden they say no. Now we know where that money went. That\u2019s funny. They didn\u2019t say \u2018no\u2019 to him, they just said like \u2013 we spent the money already.\u201d PewDiePie himself, who previously streamed on YouTube, now streams exclusively via DLive; a platform built on Blockchain technology. PewDiePie ends his thoughts with a sly joke at other streaming platforms. \u201cEveryone knows DLive is the greatest platform, so I don\u2019t understand what Ninja is doing over at Mixer. Pathetic.\u201d Ninja had been streaming on Twitch for over eight years, and had been the most popular on the website by a large margin, with over 14 million followers. The move initially shocked a lot of people, given Ninja\u2019s insane success on Twitch. He currently holds the record for most concurrent viewers on a single creator\u2019s stream, as well as the most subscribers at any given point, when he reached over 230,000 back in 2018. While it\u2019s hard to argue with the suggestion that Ninja will have been paid handsomely to make the switch to Mixer, PewDiePie is likely to have been offered similar incentives to join DLive. Now, neither Kjellberg or Blevins can be found on Twitch, both continuing to create competition to go up against the dominance of the Amazon-owned platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
