I've followed Ninja's career for several years. Ninja is the entertainer who has made some of the largest moves in the Twitch and Youtube space. With 26,000,000 subscribers on Youtube covering mostly Fortnite and other FPS games, I was surprised that Ninja announced he was returning to Twitch as a full-time streamer. Did Ninja get a deal on Twitch? Did he just want to stream on Twitch? Did Ninja think he could grow better on Twitch? Was there a Ninja Twitch deal? Why is Ninja back on Twitch?

So I wanted to make a brief episode (16 minutes lol) about if Ninja should have returned to Twitch or if he should have considered Youtube instead. On Youtube with a huge amount of subscribers Ninja pulled 135,000 viewers on an unannounced Youtube stream. But on his official debut back on Twitch, he only capped at 100,000. A consistent stream on Youtube would have done better and he would have grown more on Youtube than growing on Twitch as a streamer.

It's possible that wasn't his mission though. Listen to this talk to find out why.
