No, this is like a product a store doesn't sell anymore so they recommend something similar. Which happens all the time.

Ninja leaves Twitch, now streaming on Mixer exclusively
- Thread starter Sotonian
- Start date
I assume he can delete his Twitch channel at any time he wants. He must still have control over it I assume.
Build a shrine or hall of fame? that's CLOSER to what they're doing than if they just treated him like every other streamer.
I think people 'expect' them to just treat him like anyone else and let the channel be closed.
No, he can't. He even says in that tweet that he asked them to and they wouldn't.
They didn't even take away PewDiePie's partnership when he did something similar. He hasn't streamed on Twitch for years at this point too I think, but he'd have got a lot of views since then.
They lifted the ban, probably after Ninja apologized for what's happening.
Oh yea i'm assuming so. Leaving it up makes sense, at least this early in the transition though. It's only been like a week since he swapped. Lots of spillover people unaware of the change.
And why shouldn't they. He's the biggest streamer, who's been bought by a competitor in a very high profile way. I think Twitch has every right in that regard to feed traffic to other streamers and keep them on their site. Hopefully it'll mean others gain some new viewers and popularity from it.
Not a worthy ban. From what I've read, someone was restreaming porn and it got into the Fortnite directory which you could see when on Ninja's channel.
I'm not going to continue to elaborate on why I think it's wrong. Look at other comments in here.
You do realise that's social engineering, aka a form of hacking?
Where are your morals, lol?
He is not the biggest streamer
They have every right, however petty, to redirect the page elsewhere
They have zero right to imply his endorsement
ManaByte and others in the thread. I just want to give a quick heads up about our mistake here. That post was reported. We had 5 mods on who tried to verify the claims made in the post but couldn't and given the rash of people making sexist remarks about women who stream we acted in what we thought was the right way. Additional reports gave us additional context and the ban was lifted. Thanks to everyone who reported the post to let us know the facts.
If anyone has further questions about it PM me and I'll do my best to explain but let's not clutter the thread with metacommentary.

From a business standpoint, why would you do "nothing." For a while he was "the" fortnite streamer and took his $ to exclusively go elsewhere. If they can use the ash of his abandoned channel to promote other fortnite streamers (...of course when it isn't porn) I guess I don't see the issue. It's not like they are slandering him or anything. He doesn't work for them anymore.
And to "treat him like others..." there literally has never been another streamer that left a platform for tens of millions of dollars to go stream exclusively somewhere else. This is all unchartered territory here.
Huh? It's Twitchs site with his profile on it. Up to them what they do with it. If a company takes a major player from you and leaves a big whole to fill, I wouldn't just be doing nothing in that instance. I'd be pushing my site to other streamers to try and keep my consumers engaged on my site and not take them somewhere else. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I sure aint going to stand there when I competitor makes a big move like that and do nothing.
I know I will be scolded for taking this further off-topic but I would like to applaud the transparency versus just silently lifting the ban
Is this his popular "Millionaire complains about trivial things" series?
Using his name/brand and channel with a crazy amount of followers that kids watch to promote porn isn't really trivial.
How would you feel when your brand (recently a child friendly brand too) was used to show pornography?
Don't waste your time. He's already been trolling lately regarding ninja
Considering his own many slip ups, he should wait for an apology. That stream obviously was against Twitch TOS.
And his channel being used to promote other, smaller streamers seems like a good thing: It's spreading the wealth around.
He should have kept his Twitch contract if keeping control was his foremost concern, then.
Now it just looks like he's trying to pull up the ladder.
You're being ridiculous. Twitch has never converted a twitch page into a game landing page.
And now they did: Why shouldn't they, it's their platform.
Just because some random Millionaire they're not contracted with doesn't like it doesn't have to concern them.
So it's his fault thinking that twitch would stay classy and not use his branding?
Want to post links to Twitch contracts and maybe some quotes too about how you need such contract to have any control over your channel?
No it's not.
They're using his name and likeness to push other streams that aren't child friendly. It's messed up and petty.
Considering he had to ineffectually post a video about it on Twitter instead of changing anything: Apparently, yes.
It means them complaining about trivialities is seen in a different context. They have the right, we have the right to disregard it.
There was a big backlash when Twitch promoted Ninja on other channels with them eventually having to release an apology, so I don't see why the community would be ok with this outside of the people that just hate Ninja.
Also, I don't see what Ninja "slipping up" has to do with Twitch recommending porn and being overall petty.
I've noticed that a number of people have this stance towards anyone that has money when it comes to certain things no matter who they are or what the situation is.
The community not realizing that Ninja trying to "pull up the rope" is a bad thing doesn't mean promoting other streamers on his former page is a bad thing for the platform as a whole.
Also, they're still doing it. I didn't see this apology.
Just because someone has a lot doesnt mean it is more justified to discriminate them. Kind of nasty way of viewing things which honestly discredits every stance you have in this. Guess it helps ignoring.
Him having a lot certainly puts his complaint about promoting smaller streamers in perspective.
I agree, Ninja being jealous of way smaller streamers being promoted is very unbecoming.
What controls user has can't override supermod done hard changes like this. Equivalent would be you being able to remove ban from yourself on ERA if Ninja was able to remove such fundamental and deep level changes to how Twitch's website works for his channel.
His channel hard pulls Fortnite library and promotes every stream in it. That porn stream was top stream there => Ninja's channel was used to promote porn => Channel that is largely followed by pre-teens and teens. Just because Slasher didn't take screenshot from page you would prefer doesn't change how Ninja's page currently works.
But I think we both know angle you are going for here so facts and such don't weight that much.
The mans new year stream was the only ad on twitch for like a week, across literally every channel on twitch. Dude has no room to complain
Come on Taffy Lewis I understand you hate Ninja, but this is common sense. He has built a teen brand these last couple of months/years. Toned down on the swearing, really adjusted his way of streaming. And now Twitch shows porn on his branded page.
How can you not understand this is not okay and Ninja has every right to complain? Wtf.

Farher: So son let's watch Ninja, I heard about him in an article
Son: ok
Father: alright and let's see [he then see's ninjas channel direct him to top Fortnite streams and porn is the top broadcast]
Wtf Ninja, son you aren't allowed to see Ninja anymore
Honestly there's no point replying to him. No idea why he's still shitting up any thread with Ninja in it.
