Ninja's Recent Twitch Breakdown Is Fake? People Online Speculate

Fortnite ace and Twitch top streamer Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins, out of nowhere, decides to take a break from streaming after players ran away from him in a Fortnite match. Ninja went on to abruptly exit the game and declare that 'he is done and he had already 'had enough.'

This sudden exit from streaming captured the attention of many people online, including some who believe that Ninja's breakdown is just another ploy for something the streamer is planning for in the future. A recent PC Gamer report tells us that Ninja's sudden meltdown followed fellow Twitch star Pokimane's announcement of diverting to non-gaming content after returning from a month-long break. Pokimane mentioned in a video announcement that streaming could lead to burnout. The stress and pressure that comes with streaming can be unhealthy for mental health.

A Tech Times report informs us that burnout is a legitimate medical condition recognized by the World Health Organization. Anybody can be affected by it, even gamers and content creators who stream for a living. Furthermore, The Guardian claims that streaming can sometimes lead to a phenomenon called streaming burnout despite being seemingly easy and fun. According to guidelines set up by the American Psychological Organization, one of the best ways to recover from work burnout is to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Also, taking a timeout from the grind could prove to be very beneficial in recovering.

Moreover, the Twitch king has also decided to go on a social media blackout. Ninja's Twitter account is now sans a display photo, and he also changed his name to 'Name Not Found.' If you think that is already enough cues for an announcement saying he is going on a hiatus, he also replaced his Twitter banner with an image saying 'Time Out.' Also, his new pinned tweet says he just needs a break and is clueless about when or where he could set up a comeback. The 'where' part of that announcement made people online speculate that Ninja might be up to something. A change of streaming platform, perhaps?

Twitch Partner No More

After his last stream, where Ninja declared taking a break from streaming, people then noticed that the Fortnite star player is no longer a Twitch partner. This led people to think that if Ninja is to return to streaming, it is likely not on Twitch. Also, a tweet Ninja posted just before the sudden announcement seems a little suspicious. Ninja tweeted that "Big things are coming," while also sharing a link to his already "un-partnered" Twitch profile.

"I just need a break...I don't know when I will be back, or where," Ninja tweeted. People online speculate that Ninja might be headed for YouTube gaming soon. The "where" gave it all away, say onlookers.
