Twitch viewership begins to fall off cliff as big streamers move to Mixer Twitch has experienced its first consecutive loss in viewership ever, which comes after rival streaming platform, Mixer, signed two of their biggest names. Twitch has long been known as the flagship streaming platform. Launched in June of 2011, the livestreaming service has long been known as the go-to for all things video games related. More recently, the platform has expanded its horizons through bringing more variety to the range of content that is available \u2014 from real-life streams to broadcasting live sporting events (such as the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix). Regardless of their efforts, Amazon\u2019s streaming service has experienced its first concurrent viewership decline in its operational history. Following a boom in viewership back in April of 2016, Thinknum Media have reported a \u201csustained downtrend\u201d \u2013 after peaking with 982 million unique viewers in July \u2013 for the first time in the streaming platform\u2019s history. Since Amazon\u2019s acquisition of Twitch in August 2014, the platform has gone from strength-to-strength \u2014 as stated in the report: \u201cFrom March 2016 to July 2019, Twitch\u2019s viewership was generally a straight line pointed upwards, but August and September showed concurrent dips in viewership.\u201d However, since the loss of streaming sensation, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins back in August 2019, the platform has struggled to maintain their viewership figures \u2014 with Mixer signing the star on an exclusive deal. Even following on from Fortnite\u2019s \u2018The End\u2019 event \u2013 which crashed Twitch\u2019s servers as viewers poured in from far and wide \u2013 October has dipped to 800 million viewers. More recently, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek announced his move over to Mixer, with Cory \u2018Gothalion\u2019 promptly following suit. Indeed, only time will tell whether Twitch continue on their downtrend, or whether they can stop the bleeding and regain their viewership numbers back up to near the 1 billion mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
