Ninja’s switch to Mixer will have a huge impact on Twitch. Ninja holds the record for the streamer with the highest followers on Twitch, a number which lies close to 14 million followers. Shortly after Ninja’s announcement about shifting to Mixer, he was removed as a Twitch verified streamer from the website.
On Mixer.com, Ninja will be forced to rebuild his audience from scratch. He currently sits at 43,000 followers on Mixer.co, a number way smaller than 14 million followers.
