Sorry to the older crowd who is going to think my thread title is a foreign language. But Fortnite streamer Ninja is playing with a bunch of athletes this evening. Mo Bamba and Mario Hezonja are some of the others cycling through.
Kevin Knox is playing Fortnite with Ninja on Twitch

Apparently they are all out in LA for the ESPYs. I'll admit I had no idea the ESPYS were even coming up.
Be cooler if they were playing PUBG with Shroud
Techmo Super Bowl with Dave Chappelle would be best.
I don’t know what twitch is but I hope he gets clean and gets away from this ninja fellow. He seems like a bad influence.
Hopefully its not the redneck ninja. Guy uses his dip can as a weapon. Dont wanna get knox on the whacky tobacky
I don't consider myself in the "older" crowd, but damn... I have no idea why Knox playing a video game with a ninja would be so interesting. So I guess I've officially crossed that Rubicon. 
lol yeah guys streaming themselves playing video games is huge money now. A guy like ninja is making well over a couple million monthly.I don't consider myself in the "older" crowd, but damn...

This is pretty cool. I try to catch his streams when possible.
This guy has blown up. He has went from a few thousand youtube subscribers to like 15 million in like 5 months. The fastest ever.

You're saying a dude streams himself playing a video game and makes couple mil per month? WTF is the world coming to? Doesn't make sense to me? Who wants to sit and watch a guy play a video game?
You guys do realize there are naked women on the internet right?
There’s probably a good overlap with the people watching NBA players make a couple mil a month to play basketball.
Ninja is doing well now but a couple million a month is probably an exaggeration. He flashed his pay pal account on stream during his best month and he was closing in on a million in that one month.
He’s been streaming for 7 years however and for 6 of those years he was largely irrelevent in the streaming community, struggling just to make ends meet off of it.
I’ve been watching and paying attention to twitch for a long time now and it’s extremely competitive and you can count the number of people that have made millions streaming video games on one hand.
There’s probably around a hundred or so that have been able to live really well off of it and a few hundred more that have been able to get by on it.
There’s a ton of pressure to stay relevant and I’ve seen a lot of people try to turn it into a living and then get pigeon holed into playing the same game that they don’t want to play anymore in order to keep their viewership adequate, or they just fail all together and give it up for a more traditional job.
Have also seen people give up their jobs as they thought their stream was taking off only to see it fall apart and then have to basically start their life back over.
Yup, congratulations on being old and out of touch. It happens to the best of em.I don't consider myself in the "older" crowd, but damn... I have no idea why Knox playing a video game with a ninja would be so interesting. So I guess I've officially crossed that Rubicon.
Guess I'm 43 n out of touch with whatever.. Rather watch porn n jerk off myself than even play video games,, let alone watch others play video games.. Hell I'd rather watch 2 waspers a scroggin..
Don’t underestimate us, this is after all the internet age. I’m familiar with fortnite and gaming. Saw a interview with Benny Snell (he plays RB for UK’s football team for those who might not know), and he claimed to be as good at fortnite as he is at being an RB. And he’s a very good back!
Anyone but ninja, knox ... anyone but ninja -.-
Dude is just ... my god he's cringeworthy. A grown man doing the damn ponpon is just unreal lmao. He is making over half a mill a month though so ... I'd do that shit for half a mill a month 100%

id say he has to be pulling in over 2 million a month at this point. He’s got over 250k subs on twitch at 5 bucks a pop. I know some of that goes to twitch but that’s over a million right there. Then he has donation money which rolls in his entire stream. Not to mention ad revenue from YouTube which has to be getting him plenty because he draws tons of views and subscribers on there as well. And then there’s sponsorship money and merch money. Either way, nice living if you can get it lol.
Marvel’s new movie would have had a better title if it had been Piss Ant Man and Wasper
I had a rough idea, but asked my son to confirm. He was excited. It's freaking crazy how much time kids spend watching YouTube videos of other people playing video games.
He’s not at 250k subs anymore. That’s about where he peaked. He’s closer to 100k now. I think twitch gets 1/4 of the sub money.
And there’s no telling how much he gets in donations. It’s possible. Some of the donations these guys get are insane. When he was playing H1 there was a guy that pretty regularly(once or twice a month) would pop into his stream and drop 5 figure donations.
If you think there are only at most 5 people who have made millions streaming video games then you aren't paying attention. There are 5 just in league of legends, if you want to include all video games there's a ton.
Are they making that money just from streaming? How much of it is tournmanent winnings? I know league tourney’s get tons of viewers but those aren’t typically broadcasted by the actual players are they?
ive never been a big gamer but I can’t stop playing fortnite. I may be addicted lol.
Only time I've heard the word "wasper" has been from people who lived in or near Pikeville.
I had an employee once who was a freshman at UK, taking freshman English class. She came to me very upset regarding a writing assigmnent that she received a poor grade on. She had submitted three times, and each time the professor returned it with three misspellings. These weren't marked individually, just noted on the paper. My employee had to fix and turn back in, but she couldn't find any misspelled words.
Obviously I saw the word "wasper" in her paper three times. She was sweet, very cute, and from Pikeville.
nah he's only around like 115k now, and he is not getting 5 bucks per sub, probably 3$ or 3.50$ a sub, twitch gets the rest.
