Twitch streamer Asmongold thinksNinja’s recent move to start streaming on every platform isn’t going to be good for one of the world’s most popular streamers. Asmongold, who’s known for hisWorld of Warcraftstreams, argues that this might be bad forNinjain various ways, including reduced viewer interaction and management issues. While he doesn’t think it’s a smart choice for the quality of the content, he recognizes that Ninja is so popular he doesn’t need to stick with just Twitch.
Gaming personality Ninja, who has more than 18 million Twitch followers, took an unexpected hiatus from streaming, stating that he didn’t know when he’d be back and, more importantly, where. Some high-profile Twitch streamers have taken similar breaks, and others are leaving the platform altogether, which sparked questions about Ninja’s future. As the streaming star took the break, he also gave away his Twitch partner privileges. Those aren’t coming back either, since even theupdated Twitch partnership programrequires no simultaneous streams on other platforms.

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins released a short video in which he says he is back to streaming. In the video, alongside clips of his streaming highlights,Ninja talks about streaming “everywhere”. His list includes platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch. According to the popular Twitch streamer Asmongold, this will thin out the viewership too much, and to him, it would be smarter to focus the effort on one platform. He argues that viewership will split, and it will be too hard for him to talk to the viewers, manage the stream, and ultimately deliver a quality product.
While Asmongold starts jokingly referring to Ninja’s rough Mixer deal andNinja’s rough Mixer dealand by criticizing Ninja’s new plans, he quickly pivots to praising the video game personality as the greatest gamer of them all - the one who “beat the game.” According to Asmongold, Ninja has had such massive success, that he could easily just kick back, relax, do what he wants, and enjoy the fruits of his labor. And perhaps what Ninja wants now is to forget partnerships and just deliver content for as many people as he can.
