God damn Ninja makes $500K a month in subs alone

I hate my life.

I'm absolutely going to admire someone that makes millions of dollars a year playing video games....regardless of how many(or few) it is.


Lottery winners are super lucky as hell and I'm gonna admire the shite out of them too.

I remember at one point before he really blew up like this, he'd have ~25k viewers per stream until he took a week off for travel and that dropped to 3k for a month or so. Streaming life can be a harsh bitch. Ninja just figured out how to make it work, and helps that his wife manages most of the business shite.

I find it funny how many people will scoff at the idea of being paid so much "for playing games". It's entertainment, same shite as these actors being paid millions for a 2 hour movie or per episode of a series. Except you have to do this every day or risk a huge drop off.

I thought he was like 17 first time I saw one of his streams. Maybe it was the blue hair...

Lucky doesn’t mean you’re insnanely good at FPS games. Ninja is dedicated to his craft

Ninja was the first major streamer to play fortnight. Left PUBG and convinced people it was more skill based. He became better than everyone else as the game exploded. Probably 7 of the top 10 twitch streamers are there because of Fortnight. Ninja found the right game that exploded at the right time.

He is not very entertaining and most of his content is cringe. The other 3 with him last night carried him entertainment wise. He was just the first one into the market.

He definitely lucked into the Fortnite gold mine. He’s grinded his arse off though, so I can’t help but give him props even though he is super cringe.

Not wishing for his downfall at all but I’m really interested in seeing what happens to his stream once Fortnite inevitably dies. He streams another game and easily loses anywhere between 50%-80% of his viewers.

Regardless, he should be set for life barring any dumb money moves.

What happens when Fornite inevitability looses popularity?

I don’t think Fortnite is going anywhere. It’s still the most played, and watched game in the market right now. They’re constantly updating and changing it. The developers listen to their base, and make changes when needed. It’s amazing what Epic is doing right now.
