Even though Ninja has his fair share of haters, he also has a lot of supporters just like Devin Nash, who don’t define success by viewership numbers.

Ninja’s average viewership drop on Twitch – why did it happen?

Ninja is best known for his time on Twitch playing Fortnite. And since his return to the platform, he hasn’t played Fortnite as often as his fans wanted. In July, the streamer streamed almost 90 hours of gaming content on Twitch, but much of that time actually went into playing Final Fantasy IX. The total amount of time Ninja streamed Fortnite-related content in July is only 6 hours, whereas the total amount of time he spent playing Final Fantasy IX is around 70 hours.
