    I agree 100% with everything Nash said. One thing I think he is overlooking though. I think part of Mixer's whole strategy is to hopefully foster more homegrown talent due to these acquisitions. What I mean by that, is if it were purely about gaining immediate market share through increased viewership, they wouldn't be snagging up the largest creators 1 by 1. They would snatch up like 5-6 of the top 10 all at once. What grabbing 1 at a time, ONLY the TOP streamers, does is make other up and coming streamers or brand new streamers think about joining Mixer as their first choice. "Oh man, Ninja and Shroud are two of the most successful streamers, and they are on Mixer. I should stream on Mixer too." Its not just about viewer or membership acquisition, its about the snowball affect of talent acquisition on more talent acquisition. Because, ultimately, that's the only way Mixer will start to compete. They need their own Ninja's and Shroud's, not just recycled superstars from other platforms.

      Yeah its gross, but if you look at where these streamers like shroud started, they generally are either worst off then your average person working a average job and potentially even completely reliant on others for their survival for far longer then someone working a normal job and again with no guarantee that they will ever make better their average income. Not to mention both shroud and ninja were professional games so they were probably playing games longer then you work every day in very high stress environments. Not saying that you don't have it hard or they have it easy, but every job has downsides and upsides. In a lot of cases, whenever their is big upsides there is even bigger downsides.

      I don't see it happening. DrDisrespect in comparison to these other streamers isn't nearly as marketable and isn't as advertiser friendly either with his content, his acts of rage and crap talk, his Twitch bathroom livestreaming incident, and potentially his past with his affair and perceived negative personality outside of his streams (although I disagree with that). To top it off, especially if TimTheTatMan and other big twitch streamers leave the platform, he'll be the only top streamer left, potentially increasing viewer counts due to lack of any other streamer of notoriety being present on the platform, as well as his known ego (being in character or not, "get em' outta here").

  • @LeonV2-
    @LeonV2- 5 лет назад +53

    They need to buyout all the mid tier streamers that average like 300-1000 concurrent viewers and not the real popular streamers. The issue with popular streamers like myth and pokimane and Dr disrespect is that people just watch them cuz their popular theres no real loyalty, their viewership in a way is inflated.
    Example. Im on twitch, i see dr disrespect streaming so i click. Im not gonna go over to mixer to watch dr disrespect. No offense hes a great content creator and funny, but ive never had any significant interaction with dr. Disrespect. i believe the beauty of streaming is not just watching people frag out on a fps or necessarily enjoying their content, but more the interactions that happen on a personal level with the streamer and the viewership. That's what people pay for.
    Im a gamer, im an average gamer with a PC, and I believe that example is a very common one with the majority of us gamers who are the backbone of streaming and twitch.
    Now take for example a streamer of "insert game here", that has 400 concurrent viewers. That streamer has a loyal fanbase that comes and watches his/her streaming daily not cuz it's popular but because they are legitimately loyal. That small time streamer has die hard loyal fans. I would follow that stream onto mixer or anywhere they go. You get enough of those streamers you'll have thousands pouring into mixer.
    I'm sure a six figure salary is solid for a streamer with under a 1000 concurrent viewers. Microsoft would just have to do their homework and find the right streamers, but looking at the directory and spending some time on twitch it's not hard to pick them out.

      But no mid level streamers going to risks to jumpship.....they are more calculated with their move , risk lost of viewrships especially subs and prime.Twitch still the market leader for streaming... Microsoft won't splurge a lot of money just to bring streamers with sub 1k viewers....Mixer's intentions for acquired Ninja and Shroud only for their marketing/branding..to be honest, i didn't even know Mixer exist till news regarding Ninja' s joining Mixer as exclusive streamer.

      wrong, while like you said a small time streamer has like 400-1000 loyal followers, shroud has like at least 10 to 20 thousand loyal followers. How do you think he got big? So your entire point is wrong. A popular streamer will always have a bigger loyal followship than a small streamer.

    • @kama99ify
      @kama99ify 5 лет назад

      People with normal jobs and freelancers.
      Signed can mean multiple things, but in this case it means exclusivity to a platform. Ninja and Shroud have signed a contract with Microsoft to exclusively stream on mixer and in turn get paid by Microsoft. From what I have seen, Twitch also has contracts with some larger streamers that go beyond "partnered', most of those ask for exclusivity but they get a larger cut of ad revenue or subscriptions.
      Free agents are streamers who are not locked to a platform. They can stream simultaneously on Twitch, You Tube, Mixer, Facebook and while they might have a contract with a company that allows them to earn money from streaming, they are not limited from other contracts.

    Hey Devin, I thought your video was very insightful. I think the only hard part is truly assessing the viewer retention with only the numbers like the ones from this article. As twitch has higher hours per user on average, as likely people spend more time on twitch per visit. I think finding some area to look at market share with that aspect, as they're in 2 different positions on life-cycle. Will allow you to better examine market share and the impacts mixer receives from their acquisitions of influencers.

She streams regularly, maintains her numbers well but because she's not friends with any Twitch employee she is not being compensated. When she found out this girl who isn't streaming much, isn't hitting her numbers is being compensated she cried a river. As much as I love Twitch, the bias and mismanagement is too much.
