Ninja has been one of the most popular streamers on Twitch for nearly a decade. The internet megastar is known for his Fortnite skills and has consistently been the No. 1 streamer for years. 

While Ninja often plays other video games on stream, Fortnite continues to be his bread and butter. They are often his most-watched streams. Notably, his content is unique among some of the newer content creators on the internet, who have highly varied and diverse content.

While streamers like IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat often play video games on stream, that is not their only form of content. IShowSpeed is famous for his IRL content, such as Speed’s recent driving test stream. 

Similarly, Kai Cenat also goes out of his way to create a lot of diverse content. One such example is his recent 7-day prison livestream. And that’s exactly what the popular personality talked about in his recent livestream. 

Ninja recently talked about his content and how it compares to the content made by “over-the-top” content creators such as Speed and Kai. Ninja further mentioned how other content creators often do “crazy planned” events and in-your-face and assertive streams. 

Ninja criticise IShowSpeed’s content

In a recent stream, the Fortnite streamer talked about how glad he was to be creating the kind of content that he often does. He mentioned the fact that he can just start streaming and hop on a game of Fortnite OG. This often draws consistent viewership for him. The stream had a concurrent viewership of 22,000 as he was talking about this.

This topic came about when he was talking about IShowSpeed leaking Ninja’s Discord server on stream, which Ninja eventually had to delete. He continued to say he does not have to produce planned and over-the-top content like Speed in order to gain views. This is generally done by newer content creators such as IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and Jynxi, who create content to draw attention and attract large audiences to their streams. 

Dude, yesterday made me realize how blessed I am, bro. I'll just say that. That, like, I can just be me. I can just do this. I don't have to do crazy planned stuff. Like, by the way, it's very entertaining so I get that, I get why all these young guys are so massive and popular… We're pulling the viewers that we're pulling right now… And I can just play Fortnite, dude.
Ninja said via X (Drama Alert)

He added that their content contains a lot of clickbait and high energy. Additionally, they have to do a lot of crazy stuff on stream to pull viewers. Additionally, their energy is completely different from what Ninja does.

As per the popular personality himself, he feels blessed to be able to do what he has been doing for so long. He does not have to lose his sense of self and ingenuity. He added that he understood the hype for this type of content.

It made sense why viewers would want to watch louder types of content. Regardless, he was glad that he could maintain his channel with the same type of content even after the changing algorithms of Twitch and YouTube.
