Trainwreck wants to start his own streaming platform to help \u201csmall-mid size creators\u201d Twitch: TrainwrecksTVTyler \u2018Trainwreck\u2019 Niknam is Twitch\u2019s \u201cblack sheep\u201d in his own words. Fed up with the platform\u2019s actions, he\u2019s unveiled a dream of setting up his own streaming service to help \u201csmall-mid size creators\u201d who are \u201cthe backbone of the entire industry\u201d. Trainwreck has found plenty of success through streaming on Twitch. He\u2019s been at the forefront of some of the platform\u2019s biggest metas such as gambling \u2014 no matter how divisive they may be. However recent actions and drama pushing him away from what he does best has him looking at other options. Known for being supportive of his community and rising stars, he wants to put his words into action by creating, or at least partnering with, a rival to Twitch. His reasons? He wants to highlight the \u201cbackbone of the entire industry\u201d and support smaller creators. \u201cI\u2019m going to create a platform or team up with one and instead of only contracting large creators, I want to primarily contract small-mid size creators,\u201d he said on Twitter. \u201cCurrent platforms deem you irrelevant but you are the backbone of the entire industry, and you deserve at least a little security.\u201d Many have jumped on board with Trainwreck\u2019s plan. Although, some are questioning the logistics of it all. Web hosting is expensive \u2014 it is the reason Twitch used to slash creator pay from subscriptions \u2014 and the competition in the space fierce. However, he believes he\u2019s built to thrive in an environment like that, and he wants to prove doubters wrong. \u201cAs the actual black sheep of Twitch, I\u2019ve single handedly created four different massive waves and trends across all platforms over the last four years,\u201d he said to quell doubts. \u201cI have a vision, [the] chance for failure is high, but that\u2019s the exact environment I thrive and excel in. I\u2019d rather fail than be constantly disrespected by people and a platform who I know aren\u2019t even [a hundredth] of what they appear to be.\u201d Whether it\u2019s just a pipe dream or something he can realize remains to be seen, but Trainwreck will do what he can to show the smaller streamers who make up the majority of Twitch\u2019s users their worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
