Real advice that Ninja didn't give: 1. Have your irl friends act as audience when you're just starting out. They can be your test audience, and bolster your numbers slightly. 2. Play games that have an audience but aren't dominated by big streamers. It's no surprise someone came to watch a 'nobody' play Runescape. Obviously, play what you enjoy or are good at, but you'll have a tougher time competing against people with thousands of viewers with games like Fortnite and League. 3. Raid other small streamers at the end of your stream. Bring your friend audience with you. Be friendly in chat, follow them etc. You can build a community if you befriend other streamers on a similar level of popularity to you- you can raid each other, collaborate, and often their followers end up coming to you and yours to them. It's mutually beneficial and I've made some new friends this way.

[@mundial200]

Amazing advice 👏👏

[@sharplydressedrabbit3604]

You deserve a Master Class

[@gheist966]

4- make your own identity. the same way ninja has his blue hair, pick something of yourself that you could use for your identity, it will be easier for others to recognize you this way. for example picking your favorite food or animal to be ur dono alert, or make characters out of your background scenario (example would be the nutcracker guy from Danny). you can do the same thing from games, like how pewdiepie had the barrels and stephano. these are simple things that will make you recognizable and unique, and remember to make most of them to be unique, kind of a "you had to be there to understand" sort of thing. ofc all of this take time to have, remember your streaming persona will take a while to solidify.

[@WalnutSkrimp]

Is anyone ever going to know that this event took place? Is Wendy's open yet? Does Wendy's make breakfast food?"

@RaniaIsAwesome You are smoking crack. Ninja was objectively good at the game. He is objectively good at shooters. He used to play Halo professionally.

The only reason he fell off on Fortnite is because people learned how to build, an entirely new skill that Ninja had no exposure to prior to Fortnite. I guarantee you Ninja is a smart guy. Just because he says ridiculous things and has poor emotional control, doesn't mean he is stupid. Also, knowledge is not what intelligence is. Knowledge is just a way to apply intelligence. A lot of people are "knowledgeable", but all they do with it is regurgitate information to look impressive.

i apparently commented on this a year ago and forgot about it, but i’m now a streamer and have done a 24 hour stream and lemme tell you, drew is not lying about that. first few hours? great! hour 20? you realize your brain is gonna be rewired for a while once you’re done. i spent two weeks waking up thinking i was still streaming and panicking that i had fallen asleep on stream in a different room and would basically sleepwalk except i was streaming in bed. you might think that’s stupid, and it is, but also imagine you had to spend 24 straight hours making inane small talk to six insane people who want to see you crack - and that’s if you’re lucky enough to not have to spend them talking to yourself. imagine being a starbucks barista except it’s exclusively the bit where you have to talk to the little old lady after you’ve taken payment but she clearly just wants someone to talk to and won’t leave, but they’re a teenager who keeps calling you poggers and also you will be lucky to make $10 total after those 24 hours. 10/10 video drew, would not buy ninja’s masterclass

[@kontentkenjator]

Don't do that to yourself. If you feel like not in the mood for talking then don't do it man it is your stream. When I turn the stream on from time to time I don't bother to talk nonstop or I will mute the game or forget even that I'm streaming and as you see in the end there is no big difference whatsoever you do. I have the most views and highest engagement when I set my stream info To play only 1 game the whole time every time I stream and I say hey guys I'm playing only that champ all the time. one trick pony but I would use to play it out of his position or do builds or just start being more aggressive changing my playstyle. I noticed how while the number of views didn't rocket or get higher there was a big difference when someone started watching they would usually stay till the end of the stream. there were once 6-7 guys watching for more than 4 full hours but no one subscribed it is going to blow their heads up if they hit subs.

8:00 fun fact, it actually kinda is! dying your hair or having a specific style makes you more memorable and easily recognizable, i mean most people know about the Rachel haircut, for example, and unless you're just a huge fan you're probably more likely to recognize Marilyn Monroe with her hair all done up than with it unstyled, and it's not always just hair like you can have the same affect with a certain accessory (like Jojo Siwa) or even just a unique feature you already have like a scar, but yeah having some physical thing about you that stays constant and stands out is definitely something that will get you more views

[@fabledlight908]

@yeah brave sound thing is tiktok will repeatedly show videos to people, and if someone interacts with it it'll show it to people with the same palate, so if, say, out of the 200 original (random) people that the vid is shown to, one is a fan of danny and comments "omg is that dannyy???" It'll be shown to 10 more people who are MUCH more likely to like Danny, interact, and cause it to be shown to MORE fans of Danny. twitch doesn't have an algorithm like that.

Well to be fair, I didn’t see Drew use his youtube audience at all…I don’t recall him tweeting or posting about it anyway (probably on purpose), plus I doubt that the general twitch audience would recognise Drew. It’s just an audience difference issue, plus Drew was actually trying to prove if the Masterclass worked without him using his existing fanbase. It didn’t, which makes the Masterclass all the more useless. Drew’s content also isn’t really…streamable. No one who enjoys video essays like Drew’s is scrolling twitch looking for Drew Gooden to stream. It’s not really a discoverability issue, it’s just a clear example that making it on Twitch is incredibly challenging if the odds don’t pull in your favour. There’s a lot of youtubers who would pull a draw if they started streaming, but if no one knew about it (again this is the point) no one would come. Pretty rare for someone among the massive sea of small streamers to stumble onto Drew and then know who he is, and then share with people over the internet etc etc Anyway, point is, Drew chose not to stack the odds in his favour to test the Masterclass. The point is made; Ninja’s masterclass is a waste of time and money. The twitch discoverability doesn’t come into it.

I saw a video saved on their channel from a similar looking account where a cat could be harmed, but you have to click on it to report it. I was too scared to click on it in fear of what I might see. Could someone please report it? Animal cruelty should be stopped at all costs.

As a streamer, it felt so cathartic and oddly comforting to see someone as entertaining and popular as you bomb in terms of viewership even more so than I and other small streamers that struggle, as if to say “it’s not your fault” Thank you drew for drawing attention to how hard things like this are

[@VanillaTap]

Step 1. Create AWS server Step 2. Develop a program that creates twitch accounts in the masses. Step 3. Trick children into taking advantage of their parents Amazon prime account and twitch promotions. Giving them a false sense that being a twitch streamer is a legitimate job/career. Step 4. Invest more development into these bots and make them talk/react and even mimic other viewers comments. Step 5. Gain millions through fraud and ad revenue. It’s a joke that his popularity is slim to nothing now. He got his money and got tf out. How do you fix this? Enable human authentication on twitch. But twitch doesn’t want this, they will also loose millions in ad revenue. I wonder if any prosecutor is willing to take on the task of suing him for all of his money. Lmk if your interested. Prove me wrong.

[@cryandruboneout7133]

@@VanillaTap While a massive part of social media is botted and Ninja definitely has bots, I think the vast majority of his followers and subs are legit because of the sheer amount of boys I have seen and met irl and on the internet from 2017-19 being near obsessed with him. I think he disappearance from relevance can just be attributed to just not being popular anymore. It happens to every content creator, even ones in the early days of KZbin and internet.

[@VanillaTap]

@@cryandruboneout7133 They would have never discovered him if he was not on the front page of twitch due to botting. I have tried multiple times to watch his stream and even in his prime he is nowhere near as entertaining and funny as some of the other creators on the platform. He is the definition of fake it until you make it. Even shroud called him out on it and he instantly got defensive. Denial??????? Go watch the live New Years broadcast of him where literally no1 reacted to him in the crowd as they all just sat there in the rain. The dude is a fraud, stop defending him.

[@agarsrish]

@@VanillaTap They're not really defending Ninja, but yeah I basically agree with you. The dude is way too popular despite being mediocre at best.

[@Blutzen]

@@VanillaTap I'm really sorry to hear that Ninja ran over your dog, man, but I don't think KZbin is really the place to talk about that. Oh, wait, that didn't happen? Then I'm really confused as to why you are so mad at him. I've never seen one of his streams, and think his takes on Twitter are incredibly stupid at best, but you do realize that right-place-right-time can make instant successes out of basically anybody, right? And that it doesn't necessarily mean he botted his way there? Like, that's not how you get front page, that's never been how you get front page.

[@lunchbox3124]

When the single follower came in and said “that hair is awful I hate it” I died laughing

[@Evan_L_Rodriguez]

It makes me feel really good about myself that a KZbinr with 3 million subscribers managed to get as many Twitch viewers as me. This video does a great job putting into perspective how difficult it is to build an audience on a social media platform. It’s so oversaturated now that it is this grueling, no matter how much it’s something you want. It’s all luck based! So if you’re really passionate about it, go ham!

[@moongirl8807]

Yeah but Twitch also has an awful algorithm, it's almost impossible to grow from zero with no other followers from other platforms

[@Muhluri]

@@moongirl8807 facts. It's ridiculously bad to the point where most streamers use other platforms like Tiktok and KZbin to promote themselves. I'd say social media isn't too bad if you're doing the right things. I managed to grow a niche Tiktok account to 2000 followers in just 1 month. I also managed to get a KZbin channel to 1000 subscribers in 2 years (yes I know that's slower than average). It's all about experimenting with different types of content

[@Stratocaster42]

Building an audience on Twitch alone is almost impossible in 2022. You have to have an audience elsewhere first. It's so sad seeing people streaming endlessly for no one when they could out that effort into making KZbin videos to build a fan base :(

[@Aeiouaaaaaaaaa]

@@Muhluri Honestly, 1000 subs in 2 years sounds pretty impressive to me considering how saturated it is over here. It took me almost 6 years to get 1000 followers on Instagram (granted, that is extremely slow growth), and I think it’s comparatively easier to grow there than it is on KZbin.

[@Tanwolly]

Nah, it isn’t too hard. You’re just doing on the absolute worst platform on the entire internet. Every single successful Twitch streamer has said the same thing; If you want a career on Twitch, DO NOT START THERE. Build a following on a platform with better viewer retention and a better algorithm. KZbin or Tik Tok. That’s why so many Tik Timer’s become Twitch streamers. Because Tik Tok is a get big quick platform, but it has horrible longevity and earnings. So they take that audience they’ve built there over to Twitch. I promise if you switch to KZbin or Tik Tok and stay dedicated, you will eventually build on audience. Give up on starting on Twitch. It truly isn’t worth it, and most likely will not kick start a career for you.

My theory: The masterclass is vague about how to become successful in streaming because he doesn't actually know why he became successful. I think he fell in to it, and is trying to inflate his accomplishments as some sort of strategy in order to sell said masterclass.
