Popular streamer Tyler Blevins aka Ninja has called out on Twitch for promoting porn on his dormant channel. Polygon reports that streamer Daniel KEEMSTAR Keem was the first to notice pornographic material recommended on Ninja’s old channel on Twitch.
“Over the last couple of days, there have been some things going on that we’ve let slide, they were kind of annoying, little jabs, we felt like but it didn’t matter, we want to stay professional,” Ninja said.
Ninja further alleges that Twitch hasn’t done the same to anyone else who has gone offline, but just him. He also added that this could damage his brand and reputation that he’s built over the years.
“I’ve been streaming for eight years, to build my brand, to build that channel, 14.5 million followers, and they were still using that channel to promote other streamers,” he added.
This fiasco could likely be a result of Ninja deciding to leave Twitch for Microsoft’s Mixer. Ninja grew a massive fan following on Twitch, however, on August 1, he made a surprise announcement that he would exclusively stream for Microsoft’s Mixer service. By the looks of it, Twitch didn’t take it well as Ninja decided to stream solely on a rival platform. He was consistently one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, and his decision to leave was a significant blow for the platform.
Twitch has now reportedly reverted Ninja’s dormant page to a regular offline screen, along with chat, where users are lashing out for apparent reasons.
