Shroud\u2019s Mixer viewership plummets compared to Twitch New statistics have revealed a disappointing drop in viewership for massively popular livestreamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek following his move to Mixer \u2013 but will it concern him? When news broke that shroud would be following in the footsteps of fellow streamer Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and leaving Twitch to join Mixer, expectations were high. Ninja had already faced the brunt of the risk, as the first streamer of such a size to leave the dominant platform of Twitch, and pairing him with shroud was certain to boost Mixer\u2019s profile even further. Both streamers would have been well aware of the risks of course; a lower overall userbase on Mixer would be an unavoidable downside, but both have stated that the move wasn\u2019t necessarily to explode in popularity or make more money, but rather for a fresh start. This fresh start has cost them some of their viewership though, a new report from StreamMetrics shows. The report details a fairly alarming decline, with his US audience on Mixer only 1\/3 of his Twitch audience one month prior. In hard numbers, shroud had 718,000 unique viewers on Twitch in the month of October, but only 231,000 in November, while on Mixer. Is it Mixer\u2019s fault? While a sudden drop in viewership may not bother shroud too greatly (though it definitely won\u2019t please him either) it might be more of a concern for Mixer itself. The fact that not all of shroud\u2019s audience is following him to his new home might say more about the site\u2019s usability and features when compared to Twitch. Most concerning for Mixer will be that 85% of shroud\u2019s audience who watched him on Twitch in October did not follow him to his new Mixer channel in November, according to the StreamMetrics report. It\u2019s not certain that all of this drop in viewership is down to shroud\u2019s choice of platform though. It\u2019s also important to look at his game of choice for much of November. Despite the launch of Modern Warfare and its first season, shroud has played more Escape from Tarkov than any other game. The title is not as popular, and doesn\u2019t yet have a full release, so it\u2019s possible that many of shroud\u2019s usual fans are skipping these broadcasts. Whatever the reason, Mixer will be keen to tackle any issues users have had with their site, particularly when compared to Twitch. They\u2019ve already reduced the subscription price to match, and have rolled out \u2018clipping\u2019 for users, also in line with Twitch\u2019s own feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
