Getting paid $50 million dollars just to play vidya

So many streamers crash and burn by then.

You're all wrong lol.

Ninja is really good at a game that's really popular. On top of that he already had a foothold in the scene because he was a halo streamer, similar to how pewdiepie made CoD videos before becoming a popular minecraft lets player.

Try to figure it out based on this.

>are you willing to stream full time making less than minimum wage for years before getting any recognition?

You will be making nothing at all, my friend been streaming on twitch for +3 years now and he barely makes any money at all, he still has to go to his job because he gets maybe like 50-100 bucks a month from donations / subs

Same here, this truely unironically is a society

Realize that gaming is a niche hobby and that out of 7 billion people only about 6 million people are gamers.
Even out of 100 million people that means that
less then a tenth of people are gamers.

>only about 6 million people are gamers
This seems inaccurate.

It is, I was being generous user.

Mixer used to be beam and it's team of developers are a bunch of retards. Their monetization is worse than twitch for new users, you basically have to work a part time for free and apply to get partnered and they can revoke it at anytime in the future pic related.

Their metrics to do so are bullshit too. Nothing about views or hours streamed or number of followers but instead unquantifiable bullshit like "are you unqiue? Do you have a good community?"

Seriously stream for FREE for two months and get 2000 followers? That's twenty times more than twitch. I don't see them getting anywhere close to twitch's monopoly anytime soon until they change their bullshit.

You do realize that for years, YEARS, on Twitch you needed to have hundreds or even thousands of concurrent viewers average just to be considered for a Sub button?

50 million isn't even that much. That's not even enough to buy two decent homes.

12 DAYS?!
Thats like a fucking 8 hour stream every day for 3 weeks.

This, I was surprised when idiots with then viewers had a sub button, it used to be a big fucking deal, and people got rejected all the time, no wonder the quality of their content has gone downhill in the past few years.

He played the game better than anyone else. Not fortnite, the 'game'.

It's basically an open secret that he used bots to kickstart his twitch career. Then it was all pandering to zoomers, keeping himself out of trouble, marketing, and then 'selling' himself to the highest bidder. The same game vidya e-celebs have been playing for almost 20 years, never been pulled of this good before.

It's Blevins not Blevinstein you fucking nigger.

I wouldn't even play fortnite for $50 million

PewDiePie pulled it off better. He's probably been offered more than this by Youtube rivals.

Right, it's kind of weird how people see streaming, specifically being able to make money from subs and tips and all that while streaming, as an inherent privilege.

When Twitch was building its market share, it was expected that if you wanted to really make any solid income from it, you needed to invest fucking years into that shit, for fucking free. No pay, no donations, no bits, none of that shit. You got your grind on and did it because you loved it, and if you were super fucking good at it, maybe one day you would have a big enough channel to get a sub button.

Now, everyone expects to just be able to do it from day 1.

the difference is that twitch at the time didn't have a competitor with multiple magnitudes of a larger audience
it's literally "do a part time job for free and hope we say yes after two months" and the whole time they profit off of what you do

just viewbot lmao

I've watched ninja play fortnite once and it was bizarre. I thought the stream would be super zoomer-bait cringe, but he literally just played the game and read out subs every so often. No whacky crazy personality, no direct communication with chat, no real filter on language in any way. There were 50000 odd people watching and the chat may as well not have existed. He didn't even look into the camera directly.
Wonder why kids like watching him so much if the streams are so un-twitch-like, if you catch my meaning. I understand he's very good and they like watching someone who is very good, but I thought there would be more to it than that.

>high-level streaming equipment

lmao, just work at fucking walmart for a summer and you'll have enough money for "high-level stream equipment"

they are probably just covering what he is currently earning on twitch.

Its not about playing but your personality and how hard are you willing to work on it, like even if ninja never had touch streaming he still would be succesful

You do realize that in one reply you're saying Twitch was justified at the time because they dominated the market, but in the next breath you're saying what they did was wrong because it was "do a part time job while they make money". Which is it?

Why is needing to work for a privilege a moral wrong?

Blame the quality of the content, not the quality of the people who see that content and think they can do it.

Most streamers don't do anything the average teenager couldn't do, and that's a big part of the trap. You're kind of just grinding away at a lot of low-effort work, knowing you can be easily replaced by literally anyone, and most of the famous guys are mainly only well known for being famous.

Like tell me one thing Ninja has done that is quintessentially "Ninja". It's not like Robert Downey Jr's role in Iron Man, or Patrick Stewart's role as Jean Luc Picard. Rather, you just know Ninja from Ninja. You know he's Ninja and he professionally does Ninja every day.

>Most streamers don't do anything the average teenager couldn't do
By assuming when you say "most streamers" you mean "most successful streamers", then I would say you're entirely wrong. Grinding a stream from 0 to major success and supporting yourself from it is not "low-effort work", it's years of not getting paid, networking, hustling, trying to convince people you're serious and worth investing in, doing your shit with no support and no profit from it, not getting discouraged, and putting way more time into your channel than just the few hours on stream, with scheduling, graphics, keeping your uploads going, editing, social media, and working with other people for promotion and projects.

Most of that shit is behind the scenes, you don't see it but you just assume it comes out of the ether.

I don't know Ninja personally but the dude is literally famous because he made himself the best in the world at one specific game, and that game had a major audience. He was known and shared and supported for his skill, and he spent years on that shit before he exploded.

"Low effort content" doesn't generally refer to the amount of struggling it takes to produce the content every day of your born life - I get that having no separation between your personal life and your work is stressful, even miserable. But what I mean when I say "low effort content" is the type of thing where you sit in front of a webcam and play video games.

You didn't write a script, you don't have to think about scene composition, or story, or even necessarily being that funny or charming. A lot of the promotion is algorithmic, so you're just playing the right games at the right time, or are being promoted on Steam or something not everyone's going to luck into.

The actual "hustle" isn't a major part of what gets you noticed in these environments because everyone's hustling and nobody has time to be hustled. This shit is automated and low effort content rules across all these sites. Nobody even seriously tries to do something challenging or interesting anymore, because that dream is dead before it begins.

And you can't blame kids for seeing such easy content and thinking they can do it. Yeah, they have to stream until their soul leaves their body, and deal with your actual person being criticized because the stream is just you - it's not a character, or a project you worked on, it's you, every day, playing a video game for eight hours. You can't blame the kids because the kids are right, they CAN do what Ninja does. At least for a while. The real question is would they get burned out doing it for as long as Ninja has? That's not even asking if Ninja himself is already burned out.

You have to look Microsoft in the eye and give them a firm handshake

I don't want to seem like a fanboy but I think PDP is not playing the same game. After all he hasn't 'sold out', and he definitely has not kept himself out of trouble. He's still fairly successful at what he does, but it's not what Ninja is doing.

I mean how do you sell out when you were never the product in the first place? His viewers are the product. Them, clicking the ads - that's what Youtube sells. Pewdiepie was just a convenient placeholder to direct traffic to.

Then what's right?

Halo Infinite will sell buckets.

>You didn't write a script, you don't have to think about scene composition, or story, or even necessarily being that funny or charming.
That's literally exactly what I did on Twitch for years. 6 shows a week, as writer, narrator, producer, graphic designer, and agent.

>A lot of the promotion is algorithmic, so you're just playing the right games at the right time, or are being promoted on Steam or something not everyone's going to luck into.
No, it's not. You have no idea what that word means and you seem to think that Twitch does your promotion for you. It doesn't. You have to do that shit yourself. Choosing what to play and when can be a small part of it if you're a variety streamer who does all kinds of games and shit, but even then just picking a bandwagon for a little while isn't any sort of guarantee. You still have to market your content on social media and go to your audience to find them, they don't just magically find you. Also all actual promotion, front page and Steam and all that, is negotiated before hand with reps. I've been on the front page of Twitch many times, I know how it works.

>The actual "hustle" isn't a major part of what gets you noticed in these environments because everyone's hustling and nobody has time to be hustled.
Bro you're literally talking out of your ass. I don't have time to explain all this but I'm telling you, TELLING YOU that you're making this up and you have no idea how the industry works. Please, do us the favor of admitting that and we can move on.

Yeah, because the jews somehow tricked a million of kids to watch his streams everyday. The jews gave him his audience. It's all nepotism, right?

>You didn't write a script, you don't have to think about scene composition, or story, or even necessarily being that funny or charming.

I think improvisation is a lot tougher, especially when its done for several hours a day every day.

>where you sit in front of a webcam and play video games

It's like saying the NBA is filled with guys who throw a ball back and forth. What ninja does takes a lot of skill.

>I was a writer, narrator, producer, graphic designer, and agent
Look, man. I don't know how to tell you this, but if you did all that within a 40 hour work week you weren't a full time type of any of those things and were only meeting those job capacities at the lower levels of their definition.

A good ten minute script should at least take two days to write and revise, never mind all the other shit you listed.

I mean honestly, what are you, some fucker from a Youube MCN that tricks kids out of their ad revenue or something?

>thinks basketball is literally not throwing a ball around
how many levels of retard are you on??
it is LITERALLY throwing a ball around.

I would of gone for Shroud and Tim desu. They are both Top5 and heavily liked in the community

So Twitch is gonna be just softcore camwhores and every big streamer will switch to mixer? All top streamers know about their bias against male streamers.

inject onions, import somali cum, drink the cum and then make a twitch account
alternatively say bruh a lot if black or have big baps if female(female)

Getting good at video games takes practice and knowledge about the meta, yes, but since Ninja plays that game every day from 9-5 I'm not surprised he'd pretty good at it.

In terms of the actual effort going into the media production, however, it's not even on par with a reality show.

i really hope mixer crashes and burns right away.

MS smartly wants the normie audience, because mass casuals = more money

however, MS is still being stupid because twitch is literally too big to fail. it's the youtube of game streaming. waste of money to be honest. MS is going to bank on halo infinite being an absolute GOTY but ninja will get tired of it

You have no real-world experience.

You need charisma for the target demographic.
You need to be confidently above average, and that means you win almost every single game no matter what game it is even if your team is absolute garbage, being truly above average means you can carry them to victory all by yourself. Some might say you need to be meme material, but people like Soda or Ninja himself don't get memed on or have any notable memes within their community. Basically charisma is the hardest part. Just because you think you're funny doesn't make you popular. Ray from RT for instance was very popular, but he's not a popular streamer. He may be funny and a memelord, but he doesn't have the charisma to feel like a familiar friend to his entire audience, to get them actually invested in his being both in-game and feeling giddy whenever they learn new information about him outside of the game.

the hard part is you have to play Fornite

You do understand Microsoft is not just Xbox, right?

he's getting paid that money to attract eyeballs to products, which is a bet that may or may not pay off. his value relies in his capacity to perform the coordination of consumption

Wait what, who the fuck said anything about a 40 hour work week? Dude, producing 5 shows a week and one talkshow, plus commission work, plus side streams and appearances on other channels, that's way way more than 40 hours a week. I don't know how you came to any of that as a conclusion.

>I mean honestly, what are you, some fucker from a Youube MCN that tricks kids out of their ad revenue or something?
No you fucking tard, I was managing a channel that turned into a brand that ran RPG content on Twitch & Youtube. Each show had a cast of 4 to 6 people, which were other content creators and streamers, and keeping that content coming meant working on future shows while running the ones on the current schedule. It means working with brands and companies for product and sponsorships so your cast can get paid, which is no easy feat and no simple one-email thing. It means running a social media package, it means making sure every show and stream has unique graphics for promotion on social media, it means reaching out and booking celebrities and big names for talk show appearances weekly, usually a month or more in advance. Also cutting and editing content and clips for Youtube, keeping on top of that, making sure that anyone who reaches out to you gets answered, making sure all the merch you sell and giveaway product you're handed gets shipped out on time.

And that's all outside of actually getting people together at the right time, hitting the Live button, and running a show for 4 hours a night.

I know in your head none of this is real work, but I'm telling you that you're just making shit up.

Good for Ninja, but it amazes me that dumb brute force approach of MS to business
"Lets throw enough marketing money unto it untill it sells"

Can't wait for m$ to start preventing people from playing their games on anywhere, but mixer

It's kind of the only way these big game publishers know how to solve problems. Epic seems to be the same way.

You should wait to have the full pay check on the bank and already moving it to bahamas before atempting to do that to microsoft. This people dont fuck arround.

It works though.

I blame the kids more then him personally. When you have shit taste enough to play Fortnite let alone watch someone playing it that is just pitiful. The only clip of Ninja I ever saw was when he reeee'd at some stream sniper or claimed he was a stream sniper because of a timed taunt.

Didnt worked for Kinect

Worse. CEO is a poo.

Kinect was garbage and chasing after a dead gimmick.

>My videos became a brand!

Alright. First. Drop your childish marketer talk. I made a living in online video as well so I know the environment and all this nonsense about Youtubers or Twitch stars being brands is just cheeky bullshit. Ryan from Ryan's Toy reviews is not a brand, he is a little boy who will one day kill himself. Ninja is not a brand either - he's a person. Building a brand is a complex and long-running endeavor that requires, among other things, brand-recognition - that is, people must see that thing and associate it as a brand and recognize it without thinking it's just a guy or some guys.

Your show is probably not a brand.

Second, I know you probably didn't log in exactly 40 hours, but the point is, if you were a professional writer, you'd be spending most of your time writing. You wouldn't be writing six shows per week AND starring in them AND working as an agent. Basically you're like one of those Hollywood scrubs that sends spec scripts to networks and also drives Uber, except Google or someone pays your bills instead of Uber while you stretch yourself over a bunch of other job descriptions.

I never once accused you of not doing "real work". In fact I know exactly the work you're doing, and all I see is someone who hasn't yet accepted how minuscule and unimportant he is to these web giants. How fucking meaningless and inhuman all your effort is, because at the end of the day an ad click is just a fucking ad click and nobody at Youtube or Twitch cares why it's being clicked.

That a curse.

based /pol/tards falling for fake news as always

No, that's the point. I'm well aware that reality shows create scenarios to produce drama and make the show actually watchable. I know they write scripts, edit the footage, and even doctor the footage to make it look like things happened even if they didn't.

Nobody on Twitch does that. It's just a long, uninterrupted recording of someone playing a video game. Maybe they're playing it well, maybe they don't - it doesn't matter.

wait till the news breaks he stalks kids on xbox live

If you don't remember Twitch streamers paid for a program to get bots in his streams. He faked his way to the top and since Twitch change the policy nobody has a chance. Plus his celebrity dumbass Drake boosted his popularity.
Celebrities ruined everything.

>Drop your childish marketer talk. I made a living in online video as well so I know the environment and all this nonsense about Youtubers or Twitch stars being brands is just cheeky bullshit.
I never implied I was the brand, I'm saying I built the network.

>Ninja is not a brand either - he's a person.
That's...really stupid as an attempt at dismissing the concept of brand marketing. Obviously Ninja is a person, but he also has a brand. The companies that hire him aren't just hiring him because he's a nice guy, they're hiring him because his brand is fucking marketable.

>Building a brand is a complex and long-running endeavor that requires, among other things, brand-recognition - that is, people must see that thing and associate it as a brand and recognize it without thinking it's just a guy or some guys.
No fuckin' shit.

>Your show is probably not a brand.
You literally skipped over everything I said. A show is one thing, one 4 hour block of time in a weeklong schedule. Each show is different with a different cast. That entire schedule, taken as an aggregate, is the network and the network has a brand. My network has a brand the same way fucking Comedy Central has a brand.

>Basically you're like one of those Hollywood scrubs that sends spec scripts to networks and also drives Uber, except Google or someone pays your bills instead of Uber while you stretch yourself over a bunch of other job descriptions.
Wow, people work a second job why they build a business or career of their own. You don't fucking say? Shit bro, you've got this stuff nailed down AND you're so far above it that you get to look down on it like it's fucking beneath you. You sound like you have it together.

>How fucking meaningless and inhuman all your effort is, because at the end of the day an ad click is just a fucking ad click and nobody at Youtube or Twitch cares why it's being clicked.
Thankfully, I don't work for Twitch or Youtube.

>it's not even on par with a reality show
Reality shows are still on? Who watches that crap?

Obviously that's not how Microsoft sees it, since Ninja represents something very similar for twitch/mixer.

How many years does he have to stream on it?

Retarded people? Same as whoever is still watching Youtube and Twitch programs.

All I see here is a lot of damage control. I mean, when you see Ryan Toys Review surprise eggs at Target, do you say, "Ah, shit, this Ryan kid makes the best surprise eggs!"

Or do you say, "Man, I wonder when this is all going to blow up and ruin this family's life?"

I always do the latter. I don't see a brand. I don't look at Ninja and see a brand.

Nobody is buying Ninja or Ryan for their "brand" - that's just delusion, you poor fool. These companies are buying their audiences. Ryan and Ninja get a lot of viewership, even though a lot of it is bots, and companies want those people to see their product. They don't care if it's Ninja, or Ryan, or you. The viewers are the product. You are not selling anything. You're just getting a cut, and you can be replaced if these sites come to feel like they have a problem with you. Nothing you produce is meaningful or important to them, and the audiences - they'll move on, because you're likely not a whole lot different than the next guy over. That's the scam, son.

>drunk guy in the background yelling at him that he's fucking trash

I walked away from active content creation and gave management of my network over to people who get paid to run it right now. These days I consult with big companies on livestreaming and live events. I don't rely on Twitch or Youtube or any of that shit because I built something and then used that to springboard into a career.

>Shit talk anons all you want, it won't make Youtube and Twitch any less vapid and exploitative than it really is.
Sounds like you're one of those sad fucks you hate so much.

Maybe the average user hates streamers because they're attention starved losers who make their living by catering to the lowest common denominator.

drake is jewish and his collaboration with ninja resulted in this rise in fame
ethnic nepotism confirmed

Sure, maybe. But it's still an easy way to get rich with no effort, right?

Are you saying the average user has such stiff principals that they hate streamers for being rich, but can't break their personal ethics to do it themselves? That'd be a fucking funny hill to stand on.

Why are you complaining about your life then?

they shape public perception aka reality.
propping up an internet personality is no problem.

>I made an MCN, I'm set!
Nigger, look at the other networks and see how they're doing. Do you notice most of them have crashed an burned at this point?

Youtube does not like you. They do not like someone who seeks out their own brand and doesn't give Youtube their cut. In fact, YOU don't give Youtube a cut, they give you a cut, because you're their bitch and they own the platform you live on.

This is only making you angry because you know it's true, and you've watched plenty of your competitors die to exactly what I'm prickling you about. You're in a little niche where you can be hot shit right now, but if your niche fills out your money and your career are going to slip through your fingers because you have no control, no influence, and let's be honest - probably not nearly as many skills as you've led yourself to believe.

the entertainment business is like this in general. the wild inequality in outcomes motivates a lot of people to try to break in and get exploited for very little in return
it's funny

Its the same thing for any new successful business : it gives ideas to tons of people, yet not many realize the evolution & are willing To suffer during the process, they want shortcuts.

Respect is a type of currency, user. Not everyone wants to cash in their social status for the outside chance of making it big in an over-saturated market of retards.

that's nothing. i'll name a star after you for $5

And I would get it if it was a sexy womyn every guy wants to watch, but no, its just an average male getting the money

Yeah, no kidding. The thing that really gets me about Youtube is that they've automated it. There's no unions, and not even any protections for kids. All the laws and things they put in place to make Hollywood less of a hellhole don't apply to Silicone Valley.

I didn't make an MCN, I don't manage multiple channels and allow them to join group negotiation for ad revenue from Youtube (which is what an MCN is). I built one single network of content creators that all work for the same channel and brand.

>Youtube does not like you
That's cool, I don't like Youtube.

>This is only making you angry because you know it's true
Lol I'm not angry that some rando on Yea Forums is telling me that Youtube hates me and I'm beholden to them. I'm laughing at the fact that you're so indignant, and so wrong at the same time. You're self-righteous and stamping your feet and it's about a topic you literally know nothing about.

But yeah I guess keep being mad at streamers and companies like Youtube because you tried to be a creator and got shit on and it didn't work out and you didn't get rich like Ninja or Toy Kid or whatever the fuck.

Don't be mad, guy. Just calm down. It's not that big a deal, you can get a real job.

>Respect is a type of currency, user.
Nah, I don't buy it. I don't buy the concept that the majority of Yea Forums whines about streamer money and how easy they have it, while also having too much self-respect to do it themselves. That's bullshit.

>all this da jooz posting and no one noticing that he's been streaming since like 2011

it's busking not begging

Okay, then what you're describing sounds like a sole proprietorship that contracts out to other people to make content for you, which is less significant than a "network". Again, I know the business, you can't call yourself a network and then backpedal to, "Uh, well, actually all I ever file is a 1099-MISC".

That is, if you even do have to file those forms, because lord knows you don't if you aren't paying your guys more than $600 a year.

Why the fuck do people watch Ninja? Do they just watch him because he's popular? Is he just another PewDiePie? A lucky fucker that managed to ride an algorithm that was not yet fully formed all the way to the top, simply because he just kept putting out content?

Sure, but whatever program they've roped him in to probably has pretty limited network utility. The viewers are all on Twitch, they're not really there for Ninja. It's like when Nickelodian bought Annoying Orange and Fred, and then the kids didn't watch either.

If Microsoft can't really make money off him anyway, they'll probably be content to let him quietly die, and that's how the retirement will occur. A year of exclusive streaming on a platform with no people on it, and at the end of that year, Ninja will be forgot.

Something about the fact that he owns the domain "teamninja.com" is funny to me

it's indeterminate how successful this gamble will be, but he'll be around for at least a few years, even if this hastens the loss of his fifteen minutes.
when my partners and i sold a business, i ended up agreeing to stay on for three years, despite spending most of that time just chatting on irc. it was terrible but the money was good.

I bet he has some rich ass fucking relatives who pulled some strings and made his name known

Yep. Identity politics is the most effective tool (((they))) use to rot brains. Left or right, it doesnt matter. Every retard on /pol/ is a victim to the jewish agenda and the more they think they're fighting against it, the further in they fall.

This. It's kind of like winning the lottery but you have to entertain children on the internet for a couple of years before you get to retire with your millions. There's absolutely nothing special about most of these big streamers, they were just in the right place at the right time.

>Blevinstein

>It's indeterminate how successful this business will be
Sure. I mean, maybe Microsoft will dethrone Google. We don't fucking know.

But more likely, all signs point to Microsoft's unheard of streaming site remaining generally unheard of, and Ninja's viewership will vanish because nobody is going to sign up for Microsoft's program.

Maybe he can come back and still do some video. But the peak of the hill is crested and in all likelihood the deal's just going to hurt him - remember, Google also owns the search results, and it's not like they'll be super driven to keep him at the top of the results while he works for their competitor.

I don't but it understandable because he doesn't add any real value to society. No one would complain about a doctor or engineer coming up with an innovative tech patent making a lot of money because they add value to society. Ninja, if anything, destroys value. The same goes for football players and so on. This is the problem with a completely free market. Markets are great but they need to be guided by legislation so that they produce outcomes that leads humanity forward.

I think they both want to get less viewers so they can actually manage the chat and engage with the people. Looks like pewdie is doing just fine on that other streaming service, dlive is it?

You got me there, i'm jewish
But my point stands

typical dumb ass /pol/tards, believing anything on the internet without verifying sources simply because it goes along with their idiotic views.

>he provides value to people selling products by organizing consumption
He does add value if you use a purely economic definition of it. You can say that drugs add value using the same definition and Ninja is just like a drug. He distracts kids from pursuits that actually will make them happier long term and will push humanity forward. Streams, professional football players etc. would be banned in a sane world.

No it's not. What streamers and youtubers do is mostly earned media. They play games for the enjoyment of other people. It's entertainment not disseminating information about products and you can have that without streamers.

Pewdiepie would have been worth more than Ninja.

Ninja has lower views than Pewdiepie.

Maybe he sucks?

If I name my nigger son Goldenberg McSilverstein, as opposed to say - Tryone, what are the chances he'll grow up to be succesful

And I can add this. Should these products even exist in the first place? China is in the right when they regulate video games.

Microsoft definitely overpaid for ninja if the 50M number is correct. Pewdiepie would have been worth that amount but I guess he's seen a controversial by corporate types. That being said good for him.

them playing video games is literally advertisement. they also intersperse ads on top of this. there is also the parallel business of taxing tips given to streamers, but the less said about that practice the better.
you have a variety of advertising channels, but streaming is popular with the underage. it's part of what made fortnite, along with ripping off pubg.

Ninja only got popular because he already had a small fanbase and was the first person with more than 5 viewers to stream Fortnite. naturally as the game got popular, everyone went to twitch and watches the largest stream.

Anyone can do this but the hard part is finding what's gunna be the next big game and getting in there first.

Ninja has been in the gaming scene as a pro gamer for a long time. He got popular in fortnite because before there were big name tournaments, no one could really tell who the best was, and the dude was fucking GOOD, good enough to win multiple games in a row.

But outside of this he built a brand up from other games, then became briefly known as the best fortnite player ever.

Getting lucky, having the right connections, establishing your fanbase in a game before it gets huge, having a personality and there's more factors. I think ninja was on twitch when it was called justin.tv too. You already know the answers to this so why do you ask? If you didn't know then you lack the common sense and you're never going to make it. You shouldn't aspire to be a streamer anyway.. do something better with your life. Even if they make millions, they aren't respected figures with their fanbase consisting of manchildren and middle schoolers. They become screaming retards and walking advertisements for the companies that sponsor then. Pathetic if you ask me.

Id put more into luck and promoting yourself.

The luck to be able to stream consistently at all is one of the biggest factors.

Like i live in an area where weeks ago we only just got decent enough internet for me to even be able to stream. From twitch's creation tot he point its at now ive literally geographically been in an area that prevented me ever even getting that opportunity.

When you consider how many people globally can get decent enough download speeds to watch but not to upload and stream themselves there are so many people who could have ended up in Ninjas place but couldn't because they literally can't stream.

You cant unless you are really good at the next hot game. Also mixer hopes it will grow and compete with twitch so they would pay a big streamer with mainstream recognition big money to draw viewers and new users.

Lirik is popular and he doesn't stream with face cam

So Ninja was a halo pro I think that streamed frequently and then jumped on the fortnite train

Look at TFT, more recent example, Hearthstone streamers jumped on it and if you got lucky, put enough hours, were entertainiing and also good at the game, you'll have success

He's paid to be a coal miner, he's paid because of who he is - because he is a good miner. If you think this is a retarded idea imagine that a robot brought that coal up instead. It wouldn't occur to you to pay the machine even though the individual actions performed, and amount of time and energy spent are the same. Now some humans are worth more than others.

Wrong, but I don't care enough to bother.

lmfao get fucking rekt then bitch shit nigger.

~$100 on sale
There's always a good mic brand on sale somewhere.
>pop filter
Comes with mic. Also just don't speak directly into the mic, retard.
>webcam
Use fucking anything, you're not streaming 4K or with a recording-level high bitrate.
>professional setup (lighting and soundproofing)
Like $80. My advice is to get one of those foldable screens and just nail a bunch of eggroll to it.
>computer
Yeah pretty expensive. Need something good. Don't need to double up, though.
>dedication being $3000
What, you hang that on the end of a stick?

The real pain in the ass is shilling yourself and breaking into a hypersaturated market, all for the chance to be the right guy at the right time, riding the right trends, when the first place prize was grabbed already.

>Use fucking anything, you're not streaming 4K or with a recording-level high bitrate.
Not even him but you have clue of what you're talking about.
Please don't talk if you are an ignorant fuck.

I like the fact that if you search that name Ninja is nowhere to be seen meaning that Yea Forums didn't even do the most basic research and took shitposting at face value this hard.

You also weren't born with rich as fuck parents like his either. Dude was loaded before he even started streaming. Now he's just even more rich.

Just because it's incorrect doesn't mean it's not true

Of the hundreds of thousands if not millions who tried to be streamers only a tiny fraction of that actually made any income, and an even smaller fraction made this sort of money.

Comparing yourself in any shape or form to someone this lucky is moronic. You have better odds on a lotto.

Omg that img ^_^ xD

Looks like a polish nose to me desu. I would know, Ive got a honker myself.

Pure autismo

Pewdiepie openly admits to mass shilling his channel back when it was really tiny and paying people to shill it. He'd email spam game journo's and be like "check out this d00ds channel" no fucking joke he even admitted to it.

He has a much better personality than you, I', sure.

>if you ever become a paraplegic, you aren't allowed to be sad, because there are quadriplegics out there
Sorry I'm not a robot.

>guys are getting paid millions just staying in their rooms and playing Fortnite
like any entertainment busines, an astronomically miniscule portion of the people trying to make it actually do; 99% rarely get over 100 viewers and even the ones that get a couple hundred thousand viewers dont necessarily make bank off of it

He will be paid 934 millions of dollars over 5 years

We live in an era where billions of customers are at your fingertips yet all the average person does is shitpost and watch porn. Don't hate the player, hate the game or your dumbass team

he got paid $50m because he's friends with ACTUAL celebrities, who are undeniably an enormous draw to his streams/content. He has like 500-600% more views on youtube videos playing with marshmello and other celebs than anything else. It's hilarious anyone thinks this is about skill, or even luck. It's the real world people, not some fucking made up fantasy. literally everything is about connections and networking.

>*destroys your career*
This alone convinced me never to be a streamer/YouTuber. Once you’ve peaked, it’s a slow decay into irrelevancy.

>lucky
No luck, just hardwork, being good at games, and force of personality that makes people want to watch you. Being likeable and popular is a skill like any other and he's currently the top of his game in that field.

It's only luck you think the only factor in his success is rolling a nat20 in charisma at birth.

doesn't this guy have like ZERO charisma?

yes, that autistic faggot in your image has zero charisma

He's also decent at the game.

>but even I know he works

No. Gaming isn't working and never will be.

Because he's good at playing the video games and also he has charisma. Shut up, yes he does. Even if you personally don't like his behavior, it resonates with a lot of people and makes him more enjoyable to watch. If I tried to make a streaming channel, I'd be dead on arrival because I have no charisma and can't talk to people.

Hyperthetically speaking, if I'm a crossdressing femboi, what games should I play on stream to attract viewers?

Dark souls worked well for onlyafro.

Why do autists think he has charisma, jesus christ is that what passes now days.
In which case, everyone ive ever known is charismatic.

Good point, I need to break new ground though.

Have you ever tried streaming? Putting on that persona, while playing, while trying to manage your viewers, while trying to fill every moment with something to say, it's actually quite a difficult ballet to pull off and most fail miserably at it.

This is why traditional media is so afraid and willing to throw millions at these people who do it well, you can't get a normal celebrity throw him in-front of a game and a camera and have a pro-streamer. Think about it like this 5-10% of people who play games can be pro, most even if they train day and night will never be pro because they just don't have the reflexes for it, then of those 5-10% maybe .1% actually have the dedication needed to train and become pro, then of those .1% only 5-10% have the charisma to play while also being funny and entertaining at the same time. So we went from billions down to a couple thousand people who have what it takes to be the next Ninja. A pro-streamer is an incredibly important talent in a tiny pool, now that watching streamed games is quickly replacing watching tv as the dominant form of entertainment for people under the age of 20. Twitch is big business, Microsoft wants a piece of that business, this one just one way to do that.

Don't be jealous just because you aren't talented like they are it's no less a legitimate form of money than any other. It can be disheartening that this guy who plays video games better than you ever could and entertains children while he does it is valued by society several thousands times more than you, your friends, and your loved ones will ever be but that's just how the world works when you have millions of viewers and international prestige.

Ninja doesn't get paid for his playing video games. He gets paid because he has a highly magnetic personality to millions of people while he does it.

>Right (Retarded) audience group
>Right game
>Right timing

I don't understand why Microsoft did that, but that pull a lot of aggro on an innocent kid in his dream. On one hand I admire this guy's vidya skill, and I'm glad he made it. But on the other hand it's sad to see how corporations bandwagons work, and how it's going to ruin a kid's life in the long run.

That being said, NA's fucked. You know your next generation is gonna be shit when your kids aren't motivated to learn any practical or social skills, and their only dream is to become a streamer.

He's pretty fucking good at Fortnite and streaming in general.

That has to be the biggest waste of money microsoft has ever done.

Money doesn' t bring you happiness.

Not entirely true, if you're making less than 250k annually the easiest path to more happiness is just making more money.

As it turns out, acting like a faggot anonymously doesn't translate to acting like one in front of a camera.

literally who??

make sure to shill your channel here, I want to watch

Have you tried being yourself?

Wow, if they'll pay that much for a muppet I wonder how much they'll pay to have honest content from a true gamer.
