What’s up, everyone! Welcome backl. Today, we’re diving into a topic that has sparked quite the controversy in the streaming world, why do so many streamers seem to have a problem with Ninja? That’s right, Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, the former king of Twitch and Fortnite, has rubbed some of his fellow streamers the wrong way. It’s not just about what he does on stream, but what he’s said that has people talking. Let’s jump into the Top 10 Reasons why streamers hate Ninja.
At number 10 He’s Seen as Distant From the Streaming Community.
Ninja was once the face of Fortnite and Twitch, streaming with over 100,000 live viewers. He even teamed up with celebrities like Drake in 2018, pulling in 635,000 viewers at its peak, a then-record for a solo streamer. But as Ninja’s fame skyrocketed, he started distancing himself from the streaming community. Many newer and smaller streamers felt left behind, and the camaraderie that was once there started to fade.
Number 9 is His Comments About Kai Cenat!
One of the first major issues that stirred up controversy was when Ninja made comments about Kai on his stream, Kai one of the rising stars on Twitch. Instead of Ninja supporting or acknowledging Kai’s insane growth, Ninja criticized his content, sparking outrage among Kai’s fans. Many believed Ninja should be elevating new talent and his fellow streamers , not tearing them down.
Coming in at number 8, we’ve got His Criticism of Stable Ronaldo.
Another massively popular streamer who Ninja took shots at. In a comment that felt more like an attack than constructive criticism, Ninja implied that Ronaldo’s content wasn’t ‘real’ streaming, but more about riding trends. Fans of Ronaldo and streamers alike didn’t appreciate Ninja’s negativity toward someone who’s worked hard to build their own brand.
At Number 7 we got The Lack of Support for Adin Ross.
Adin Ross has taken Twitch by storm with his unique style and loyal fanbase. But when Adin was under fire for some controversial moments, Ninja didn’t show the solidarity many expected. Instead of lending support or offering constructive feedback, Ninja remained critical, which created more friction between himself and other streamers.
Next, let’s talk about Reason number 6 The ‘Old Guard vs. New Guard’ Mentality
Ninja’s rise to fame came during a different era of streaming. Now, with new faces like Kai, Adin Ross, and IShowSpeed, many in the community feel like Ninja represents the ‘old guard’ resistant to change and evolution. Rather than embracing the new wave of content creators, he seems to criticize them at every turn.
Halfway there! Reason number 5 His Views on Streaming Trends.
Ninja has made it clear that he’s not a fan of many current streaming trends, from the prank-heavy style of content to streamers who focus more on personality than gameplay. But this is where many streamers disagree. Streaming is no longer just about gaming—it’s evolved into a platform where entertainment comes in all forms. Ninja’s criticism of these trends feels out of touch with what’s making streaming popular today.
Reason number 4 His Legacy of Toxicity.
During his peak, Ninja was often praised for his skills but criticized for his attitude. From public outbursts to toxic behaviour in games, many streamers haven’t forgotten the way he acted in his prime. Though he’s toned it down in recent years, his legacy still haunts him—and it’s one reason some streamers hold grudges.
Alright, we’re down to the final three, and this next one has sparked a lot of drama.
When Ninja left Twitch for an exclusive deal with Mixer in 2019, it was a huge deal. While the move was a financial win for him, it didn’t sit well with other streamers. Many saw it as a betrayal to the platform that made him famous. And when Mixer shut down, it left streamers wondering if the entire move had been more about the money than about the community.
At Number 2 we got The Pressure of His Declining Relevance.
Ninja was once the most-watched streamer in the world, with over 22 million YouTube subscribers and millions of Twitch followers. But as his numbers declined and new streamers like Kai, Adin Ross, and xQc rose in popularity, Ninja seemed to respond not with support, but with criticism. Some believe that his negativity is a result of feeling pressured by his own declining relevance.
At Number 1 we got his public criticism of other streamers hurts the streaming community as a whole.
And Finally , the number one reason why so many streamers dislike Ninja? It’s because his public criticism of other streamers hurts the streaming community as a whole. Streaming is all about supporting each other and lifting one another up, but Ninja’s comments often feel more like attacks. Instead of being a leader in the community, some say he’s become more of a detractor.
So, there you have it—the top 10 reasons why streamers hate Ninja. Whether you agree or disagree, there’s no denying that his comments have stirred up drama in the streaming world. What do you think?
