Caesar Saladin posted:seriously though, how much did they pay him? Like, 12 million dollars or something? 50 million? How much does me make from twitch and the associated merch sales that come from his twitch viewers, and how much would he lose going to mixer? I wanna know how much they paid him. Probably a multi year deal at 8 figures a year.

Worth millions?????

Honestly the only thing that impresses me about this dude is being able to snag the username Ninja without having to add numbers or write it in 1337 or something.

When you get famous companies will take those usernames from the first person to get it and give it to you. I'm pretty sure Ninja was given his name on all the relevant platforms.

I read this guy streams like over 12 hours a day but Mixer will let him take more vacations and have more family time. Probably worth ditching Twitch even for lower pay.

Nobody makes anyone stream any amount of time unless they signed a voluntary agreement to do so. Twitch isn't standing there yelling at ninja to stream 12 hr or they'll de-partner lmao where did you read this bullshit.

Chomp8645 posted:What? https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/1/20750432/mixer-ninja-microsoft-twitch-youtube-streaming-fortnite Certain streamers can make the move to Mixer and not have to worry about losing a big potential audience for people who just visit Twitch and stumble upon a stream. Blevins is one of them. His subscriber growth on Mixer is already skyrocketing, and his chat is incredibly active — even though he hasn’t started streaming yet. He’s also someone who can secure a major financial deal that allows him to not have to worry about these types of metrics. One of Blevins’ closest friends, fellow streamer Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar, spoke about Blevins’ move to Mixer during a stream on Twitch today. Betar suggested that Blevins can start to take vacations now and not worry about losing subscribers or money. It’s been a concern for a while now, and Blevins is likely burned out. He told The New York Times in December 2018 that the longest vacation he ever took was his honeymoon — six days in total — and called it “devastating,” adding that it was “a calculated risk.” He added that even taking a couple of hours to talk to the Times or even just relax on his couch means losing 200–300 subscribers each hour. Prior to that interview, Blevins broke down his intense streaming schedule on the H3H3 podcast. “The schedule is: 9:30 is when I start in the morning and then I play until 4, so that’s like six, six-and-a-half hours,” Blevins said. “Then I’ll take a nice three- to four-hour break with the wife, the dogs, or family — we have like family nights, too — and then come back on around 7 o’clock central until like 2, 3 in the morning. The minimum is 12 hours a day, and then I’ll sleep for less than six or seven hours.” It’s not like Blevins can just stop streaming, nor does he want to. His announcement video about moving to Mixer included a message about returning to the good old days of streaming, back before he was Twitch’s number one superstar. What Mixer does give him, however, is a potentially extremely lucrative deal to not have to worry as much. It also gives him less competition on a platform that isn’t as saturated.

Chomp8645 posted:What? The difference is when you're an independent streamer your income is directly related to the time you put into it. If he decided one day to go down to, say, 2 hours a day, he'd lose a ton of followers, advertisers, and income. This deal basically means he can treat streaming more like a "regular" job.

Tbh it sounds obscenely unstable and having to deal with something as nebulous as fickle hordes of viewers with extremely short attention spans while having to cater to them by nonstop playing videogames you probably don't want to play anymore sounds lovely in its own unique way just like working retail is lovely in a very particular, unique way.

Well yeah but he's likely making the same money or more working for Microsoft while working less. So it's a win. Probably worth it for Microsoft as well since way more people know this Mixer thing exists now.

Yea, but he could literally quit anytime and be set for life (barring any contracts he decided to sign I guess). Which is quite unlike a retail worker.
