Ninja Says He Doesn't Stress Out About Twitch Sub Count Anymore
By Nicholas Barth ·
Star Twitch streamer Ninja has recently revealed that he does not stress out about his subscription count like he has in the past.
Tyler "Ninja" Belvins is now a worldwide celebrity thanks to his immense rise in popularity in the year of 2018 that saw him become the face of the popular battle royale game of Fortnite and the streaming platform of Twitch. This rise has seen Ninja collect a truly impressive amount of subscriptions. However, as with any Twitch streamer, the amount of Twitch subs that Ninja has had has fluctuated greatly. While in the past Ninja has stated that he has had a fear of losing the top spot on Twitch, a recent stream by the popular content creator saw Ninja state that he no longer stresses out about his sub count.
After returning to streaming on Twitch after some time off, Ninja explained his current mindset towards his sub count and streaming as a whole on Twitch when a viewer commented that the streamer should not feel bad for living his life outside of streaming.
"I'm just so much more relaxed man. After having the year that I did, I don't stress out too much about sub count anymore, like at all. I know what I am capable of when I have the time to stream as much as possible. You know, do those 12 hour, 14 hour streams," said Ninja. "Now you know that there are other things that are just coming up right now. I didn't live my life last year man. I was a slave to the stream grind, and I don't regret it whatsoever, but it's nice to be able to do just a little bit of you know R and R."
With Ninja working on various other major projects and opportunities that his unprecedented rise in popularity has now made possible for the Twitch streamer to be involved in, the streamer has not been streaming as much in 2019 compared to the likes of 2018. This has resulted in Ninja no longer sustaining the incredible subscription numbers that he has had before.
However, the Fortnite star in Ninja looks to no longer be allowing this Twitch figure to be an all consuming thought of his life compared to what it has been for him in the past year and will be looking for more of a work and life balance going forward in 2019.
