Trolls mock me for having fewer viewers, Fortnite streamer Ninja tells BBC
Ninja is one of the most famous gamers in history
One of the world's most popular streamers, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, says trolls "berate" him every day because his number of viewers has fallen.
Ninja was propelled to stardom in 2018 after he played Fortnite on streaming site Twitch alongside rappers Drake and Travis Scott, and NFL player Juju Smith-Schuster.
He now has fewer viewers than at the height of his fame - but still has 67m followers across all platforms, and is the world's third most popular Twitch streamer.
He told the BBC "haters" seem obsessed with the fact he was not quite as popular as he once was.
"I think I'm the only streamer on the planet who was pulling 100,000 viewers [per stream] consistently, but now I get like seven or eight thousand across Twitch and YouTube," he said.
"So that's something that the internet and trolls remind me of every day and the last couple of years have been rough," he said.
Ninja says every day moderators have to remove people from his streams for being rude about his viewership falling.
He admits to having to work hard lately to ignore the trolls.
"It's literally every day that I'm getting berated online", he said.
