37 Minutes 57 Seconds Actually
Congrats on the pin!
congrats dude
me too man, we can get through this together
i just know a vein is throbbing in dannys head watching drew make absolutely no attempt to disguise himself and not get recognised anyway
To be fair only 2 people watched Drew stream
this is so funny
If this were Danny he would have been discovered immediately, there would be more people watching the burner than his actual twitch, and he would get a million of the same comment saying “you thought you could fool us buckaroo well you thought wrong”
@@jeniferjoseph9200 I think they’re referring to the vid from a while back where he hid his identity lol
@@mascarponies yeah i think they were making a joke about how every time danny’s done that he’s gotten a ton of attention and everyone figured out it was him really fast
“it’s yogurt time” and “it’s oatmeal time” are unmatched. if i was there watching that live i would’ve gone balls to the wall apeshit
Where's a yogurt emote when you need it ?!
its like a jerma bit lmao
I was fucking dying from it. It's too good
I want the oatmeal/yogourt alerts as my ringtone.
NO CAUSE ME TOO I WAS CRYYIIIINGGG 😭😭😭😭

Samantha was a real one. Told Drew straight up the hair was awful lmao.
@@evil993 the sign of a good friend/livestream viewer is not being afraid to call you out on your bullshit.
Ninja's Masterclass course feels more like he's describing his job to his therapist
I have an anxiety disorder, and I don't stutter/pause in my streams _nearly_ as much as Ninja did 😂
It looked like when you end an internship and start interviewing for a formal job, so you need to describe what you did in the internship, and you have an idea of what you did but don't know anything specific so you start rambling about it 🥸.
Imagine Amanda coming back from a trip, excited to tell her husband what she did and she finds a blue haired and sleep deprived Drew trying to become a successful streamer.
Plus him wearing a funny hat
true
@@nicolemush with a cool looking fridge in the background
I create entertaining videos as well
What if Amanda is Samantha 😟
I literally cANNOT wrap my head around the fact that this man coloured his hair this atrocious Ninja blue for a bit....I have to say, I am so impressed this is quite possibly the funniest bit I have ever seen
The best part was how dead inside he looked after he did it, as if someone else had made him dye his hair blue and this wasn't a bit he was solely responsible for.
What I can't wrap my head around is that he actually looks pretty good?? Like he might pull off that color better than anyone I've ever seen
@@avryantoinette i was literally thinking this
The best part is the fact that he didn’t do it himself with a $12 jar of manic panic he went to a salon and PAID a stylist to dye his hair for him 😂
@@avryantoinette especially with his outfit while doing the sponsor ??! That looks good
as someone who streams to zero-3 viewers almost every time, it was kinda reassuring to see someone with millions of subs go through it. made me feel seen, thanks bro
i know how you feel man, ive sat there streaming for 4 hours straight with no one coming in, its so difficult to keep the energy up and going without having someone to bounce off. i sadly quit because of it but stay strong and keep going! i hope you will start gaining traction soon, i know its not easy but keep up the good work! is your twitch username the same as your youtube one btw?
keep going bro
You got this, love!
I'm nu to twitch, joined about to months ago, k have 3 followers, 2 who simply return followed me, the 3rd is someone found me, 1 of them regularly views when I stream😊😊 I'm so happy 🎉🎉, good luck to U gentlemen👍👍💪💪
@@android0391 good luck! You’ve got this!
Unironically, Oatmeal time and Yogurt time are some of the most hype stream bits ever, and I think EVERY streamer should do that.
I laughed harder at oatmeal time and yogurt time than I have at anything in a while, if I was checking out a new streamer and they had those pop up, I'd become a loyal follower on the spot
“I hope it sends me to hell.”
thats one of his funniest bits ever in my opinion
i mean slimecicle did carrot time
I actually was so startled into laughter i thought i was gonna cry
Ya know, for a guy appropriating the term "ninja", he sure does seem to love being seen by literally everyone, everywhere, at every possible chance he can get...
Wow u got a like
Did you know he has blue hair??? 😆 I’m sure he didn’t think about what it means
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him! True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Your worries (yes, anxiety), depression, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING will melt away and be NO MORE when you lean on God and put your trust in him! When I have physical pain, I literally pray and the Lord quells it, that I am healed! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.
@@Call_Upon_YAH This is not true, my friend. I still wanted to kill myself until I actually worked on my issues
You can't blame Ninja for your failure when you forgot to get a fridge for your fans to look at
A gaming fridge fun to look at*😌
Exactly, some people think that they can be a success without a fun gaming fridge to look at... smh 🤦.
literally went directly to the comments
I know I often spend hours just looking at my fun fridge. Sometimes I'm having such a good time that the cops get called for noise complaints.
Yeah he's really a noob. If I click onto a stream and I don't see a mini fridge with a see thru door and a light colored something other than fridge-light white with turned away labels of energy drinks in the background, I immediately click away.
i love it when men's wives go somewhere and they stay alone in the house because it can get so chaotic in there. amanda leaves for two (2) days and drew speedruns every single human emotion in the span of 24 hours and i think that's hilarious
Can't leave your husbands home alone cos you never know what they'll do
Thanks for clarifying two (2)
men return to ooga rules if you leave them alone for longer than a day
Society would probably collapse without women
Hope everyone is doing good and staying safe ❤❤❤
The “no spoonful of mayonnaise for me” is literally the most incredible line I’ve ever heard. 10/10

this is genuinely such a good example of how twitch doesn't promote growth. literally Drew Gooden with 3.7 million subscribers on youtube can secretly start streaming on twitch and it ACTUALLY just stays a secret. not a single person found out he was there and started talking about it elsewhere - just good ol samantha by his side
That's what Danny should do
@@magdalenaj.1390 literally the only way his "I secretly went undercover on another platform" would actually work, nobody would know he was ever there
@Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach I literally went over to check and yeah even being logged in to my account where I almost exclusively watch speedrunners/video game content twitch would rather reccomend me this just chatting streamer with 10k viewers instead of introducing me to smaller speedrunners
@卐-Lakehuntist-卐 what
@@hauntedsunsets twitch basically just recommends on viewer count and nothing else
If Drew has a million Twitch followers, Samantha is one of them. If he has 100, she is one. If he has one, it is Samantha. If he has no followers, then Samantha is dead.
plot twist" Samantha is his wife who genuinely missed him and wanted to make him feel better
@@GuardiansCreed I mean, "Amanda" and "Samantha" sound pretty similar. Coincidence? I THINK NOT
perfect execution of this
LMAO 😂

its so fucking funny
I quote it nearly daily
@@mrnobodyatallnoneedsame
This whole class shows how Ninja has NO clue how or why he is successful. You said it best with "playing the right game at the right time"
He just played it a lot at the start, when the big boys came along that were actually good at the game he got btfo. While top streamers may not be the world's most booksmart exactly, they are generally pretty clever and competent people. Ninja is an anomaly because he has never been in the top percent of anything in his life and likely the worst 10%, and you don't really get to see these people on an elite stage often. He doesn't know anything. He says ridiculous things and gets into ridiculous fights, he loses his cool all the time, and it's all based on a con that he is actually in any way good at Fortnite.
@@RaniaIsAwesomei thought he was actually good though
@@RaniaIsAwesomeNinja has won the Summer Skirmish Series, the Winter Royale, the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am, the Twitch Rivals Fortnite Showdown, the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl, the Fortnite World Cup, and the Fortnite Pro-Am at E3. Not even dick riding I just looked this up he's kinda earned his hype my dude
@@RaniaIsAwesomethe only reason we don't hear about him as much anymore is because of the exclusivity deal with mixer but he's still loaded and has a decent following tbh. You can keep hating tho this feels like it's important to you haha
@@youngspaghettii Bro wtf you talking about??? That deal with Mixer was nuked, he returned to Twitch in 2020. I don't hate ninja, no one stays at the the top forever. Dude crushed it longer than 99.9999% of people will. He made his millions, he doesn't need to stream to 60k viewers anymore.
I hate how no one is talking about how funny the “oatmeal time” and “yogurt time” was.
funniest shit, i hope he adds that to his main twitch channel
i was dying laughing 🤣
@@SatanicGhostCat what happened?
@@mystickiwi2329 some random dude started talking about “leftist propaganda” and how he heard about on Fox News 😭
@@SatanicGhostCat For news? In my Drew Gooden comment page? Apparently it's more likely the you think Thanks for letting me know btw
Huge respect to Samantha, a streamer who saw a lonely guy trying to follow Ninja’s Masterclass, realized it wasn’t working for him, and then & stuck around to give encouragement & pointers We need more Samanthas
Samantha is the real OG
She told him his hair was ugly and she hated it, how is that encouragement
@@AGoldenBoon it was encouragement to never dye his hair again.
@@AGoldenBoon constructive criticism
Lmao my name is Samantha so I will be like that Samantha
I'm late to this but love that 1. The Scoliosis king has 26k followers now 2. that's more than his actual Twitch account 3. HIs actual Twitch account says " I streamed once 4 years ago" *last streamed 5 years ago* comedy
Here's my problem with masterclass. To be a good teacher, you don't just have to be good at the thing. You also have to be good at explaining it to other people in a way they can understand
yes just because they are celebrities does not qualify them to teach idk who thought it did
Absolutely. Plenty of professionals have no experience in the thing they are versed in. Like acting, singing, baking, etc.
one great masterclass is anna wintour’s class on fashion design and leadership. she doesn’t just rely on her knowledge, she also shows examples and acknowledges that she was incredibly lucky and you wont get the same results by following, which was refreshing after hundreds of videos promising you something borderline unattainable
@@r8ggA culture that conflates wealth with intelligence?
I think Samantha's "That fart is too long" is more helpful than the whole NinjaShow. Thank you for saving us Drew.
Ninja deserves a beat down.
I need a fart chart, detailing the fun/time decay. Also maybe variables such as fart type and intensity plays into this. We need research.
Ik
love how danny goes on a different platform, reinvents himself, hides under photoshop and costumes and is recognized within the hour but drew goes on a different platform, streams for 40 hours as himself and goes completely unnoticed by his fans. like the fact that they both got opposite of what they wanted.... so funny to me
inadvertently, these two experiments showed how awful Twitch's discoverability is and how good TikTok's is
@@saintazepam honestly that's because of the nature of the formats not the platforms imo. TikTok is extremely short videos mean you can engage with a much larger amount of content while twitch is a lot more time consuming to watch one streamer
@@-aexc- True, but it’s definitely the platform too. Tiktok’s algorithm for content is great at its job of finding anything possible that interests people to keep them on the app. Once one fan found Danny, it could analyze who they followed, common people with similar content, and then once it realized the link between them it could push Danny’s burner to everyone who followed Danny
Yeah I was expecting him to not use a facecam or become a vtuber or something but twitch just sucks for new creators ig
@@WTDProductions on the other hand that does mean twitch is a lot better at forming lasting communities
There is something so funny about Samantha writing "That hair is awful", then after almost 2 minutes of silence comming back with a "I hate it". Absolutely beautiful 25:33 in the video
this is a great example of how terrible the discoverability on twitch is. even for someone with MILLIONS of KZhead subscribers, nobody knew when you streamed for FORTY HOURS
Well to be fair, I didn’t see Drew use his youtube audience at all…I don’t recall him tweeting or posting about it anyway (probably on purpose), plus I doubt that the general twitch audience would recognise Drew. It’s just an audience difference issue, plus Drew was actually trying to prove if the Masterclass worked without him using his existing fanbase. It didn’t, which makes the Masterclass all the more useless. Drew’s content also isn’t really…streamable. No one who enjoys video essays like Drew’s is scrolling twitch looking for Drew Gooden to stream. It’s not really a discoverability issue, it’s just a clear example that making it on Twitch is incredibly challenging if the odds don’t pull in your favour. There’s a lot of youtubers who would pull a draw if they started streaming, but if no one knew about it (again this is the point) no one would come. Pretty rare for someone among the massive sea of small streamers to stumble onto Drew and then know who he is, and then share with people over the internet etc etc Anyway, point is, Drew chose not to stack the odds in his favour to test the Masterclass. The point is made; Ninja’s masterclass is a waste of time and money. The twitch discoverability doesn’t come into it.
@@caleblim6890the essay you just wrote was a little pointless do you know what the word discoverability even means ? Like you literally said "it's not a discovery issue its..." then described exactly the definition of a discoverability issue my dude. Do you know what you're talking about ?
@@youngspaghettiiI mean yeah and no? They're exactly right, Drew's content and audience is **not** easily transferable to Twitch on its own. His humor works, but there are tons of funny people who play games on twitch lol. Twitch is not good at promoting new streamers. As well as Drew, specifically, not being recognized or discovered does not prove that alone. If that makes sense? The prior knowledge of who he is skews perspective. Hbomb is a good example of a guy making the exact same type of content, has a similar personality, and is definitely one of the most influential KZheadrs for 5ish~. years now and his livestream numbers were poop. Is what it is, twitch is a darkhole of bullshit.
@hiddenleafdrip3869 I agree with the general point youre making ig but there was definitely a better way to rebut the original commenter. There are several entire paragraphs that reduced his credibility when he could have very simply explained that there's no correlation between his youtube suscribership and his gains in twitch following at the time because he did not utilize his social media to boost the numbers on purpose
@@caleblim6890here’s the thing, Danny will make a secret TikTok and TRY to hide his identity, and strong algorithms like TikTok and instagram, push the accounts to his fans and they find him fast and blow up his content, the same would happen with drew but because twitch has a very bad algorithm
Shout out to Samantha for being Drew’s most loyal Twitch follower. Sure, she was his only Twitch follower, but the point still stands
We must find and protect them at all cost
And the complete honesty on how his hair looked and giving suggestions on how to liven up the stream. If you only have one follower, make sure it’s Samantha
Doesn't that mean she was his least loyal follower, too?
I met Samantha while streaming osrs once, absolute legend
He didn’t even ask about her dog!
I love the fact that Drew being ACTUAL celebrity didn’t get ANY success on Twitch using Ninja’s masterclass
well i wouldn’t say that he didn’t get ANY success… sammantha was there
@@rileydion1181 And yet, Scoliosisking will never stream again. This is the thanks she gets. 😔
I’d say calling him a celebrity seems a little much, but yeah

Your telling me blue drew happened A YEAR AGO?! ALREADY?!??!! IN THIS ECONOMY???!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!
i know. crazy
This is a clear example of how successful people delude themselves into thinking it was all because of their insane abilities and not due to luck and circumstance
Or due to their hair and mini fridge
I mean a huge part of Ninja’s success is most certainly his skill at gaming
@@masonlittle2563 that’s true, but there are plenty of talented gamers (even former pros) on twitch who never get big. it is definitely luck-based.
@@username6787 I agree
@@username6787 to be honest everything takes a certain amount of luck, but viewers wont stick if you dont have the personality, skill, or blue hair to keep them entertained

twitch barely has an algorithm, and for a streaming platform, its a HUGE problem. it leads to smaller streamers staying small and one hit wonders becoming big with NO inbetween :’)

@@wrightcemberthis makes me feel much better about struggling to get affiliate for like 2 years

honestly if you are going to dye your hair bright blue for 150 dollars, drew picked the right stylist. the color matches his undertone perfectly
Speaking as a cosmetologist, it really is a nice dye job
I’m not a cosmetologist but I can tell it’s really well done
Speaking as a poor person I couldn't have spent 150 dollars better
It was a really nice blue! Amazing for one session!
It is dead on ninja hair
The fact that Drew went on stream with nothing hiding his identity and got 1 follower while Danny literally created a fake person not once but twice and both times he got caught is very funny for me
Are we sure Scoliosisking isn't Danny?
So true! I didn't even think about that lol!
@@micahschmitz859 were not even sure drew isn't danny
That says something about the discoverability on twitch doesn't it
Bruh. he be Epstein 🧐
i apparently commented on this a year ago and forgot about it, but i’m now a streamer and have done a 24 hour stream and lemme tell you, drew is not lying about that. first few hours? great! hour 20? you realize your brain is gonna be rewired for a while once you’re done. i spent two weeks waking up thinking i was still streaming and panicking that i had fallen asleep on stream in a different room and would basically sleepwalk except i was streaming in bed. you might think that’s stupid, and it is, but also imagine you had to spend 24 straight hours making inane small talk to six insane people who want to see you crack - and that’s if you’re lucky enough to not have to spend them talking to yourself. imagine being a starbucks barista except it’s exclusively the bit where you have to talk to the little old lady after you’ve taken payment but she clearly just wants someone to talk to and won’t leave, but they’re a teenager who keeps calling you poggers and also you will be lucky to make $10 total after those 24 hours. 10/10 video drew, would not buy ninja’s masterclass
Don't do that to yourself. If you feel like not in the mood for talking then don't do it man it is your stream. When I turn the stream on from time to time I don't bother to talk nonstop or I will mute the game or forget even that I'm streaming and as you see in the end there is no big difference whatsoever you do. I have the most views and highest engagement when I set my stream info To play only 1 game the whole time every time I stream and I say hey guys I'm playing only that champ all the time. one trick pony but I would use to play it out of his position or do builds or just start being more aggressive changing my playstyle. I noticed how while the number of views didn't rocket or get higher there was a big difference when someone started watching they would usually stay till the end of the stream. there were once 6-7 guys watching for more than 4 full hours but no one subscribed it is going to blow their heads up if they hit subs.
The fact that you were only live for 2 minutes before realizing that your microphone was off is actually pretty incredible. I've done entire 5-hour streams with no game audio, with the game audio too loud to where you couldn't hear me at all, done the entire first half of the stream with the microphone not plugged in, and a 3-hour stream where I forgot to switch scenes and spent the entire stream in full screen camera mode. I made a highlight video of that one. No one watched that either. 👍
We've all been there 😂
hahaha hahaha I forgot instantly that I'm streaming at all the same seconds when I open the game window
I can't believe Danny gets caught instantly every single time he tries to disguise himself online, and then Drew streams on Twitch for 3 weeks without disguising his face or voice and has the Road Work Ahead sign in the frame and nobody finds out the whole time
I didn't realize he's the "road work ahead, yeah I sure hope it does" guy lol
Danny kept promoting the things he did. If it reached 10k people, some are bound to know him and share it. Drew just clicked "go live", no one ever is going to see that. He streamed for 40 hours and had 30 viewers. If one of those 30 had known Drew they'd shared it and it would've leaked, but apparently none of the 30 people who popped in at some point knew him. Not comparable
@@bigbird4481 what? No it’s not. That guy didn’t have blue hair.

I was excited until I realized Drew wasn't taking a literal ninja class.
ACTUALLY SAME xD
@DONT READ PROFILE PIC okay!
@DONT READ PROFILE PIC mans dumb as hell. “Dont read my profile pic” LMAOO
LMAO
8:00 fun fact, it actually kinda is! dying your hair or having a specific style makes you more memorable and easily recognizable, i mean most people know about the Rachel haircut, for example, and unless you're just a huge fan you're probably more likely to recognize Marilyn Monroe with her hair all done up than with it unstyled, and it's not always just hair like you can have the same affect with a certain accessory (like Jojo Siwa) or even just a unique feature you already have like a scar, but yeah having some physical thing about you that stays constant and stands out is definitely something that will get you more views
Kinda explains at least part of why V-tubers are so successful I think Animation just gives you so many more opportunities to have a unique look or to stand out
whenever i get frustrated over drew's posting schedule i come back and watch this video to remind myself just how much work he puts into his content.

Ninja should be the last person to tell people how to deal with toxicity, considering he has been abusing his relationship with Fortnite to report people for stream sniping in the past.
11:06 is genuinely the fucking pinnacle of comedy. i don’t even like fart jokes but holy shit
the funniest thing about this is that drew didnt even hide his face or the fact that it was him. all he needed was like ...a few people to find him and spread the word yet no one noticed 😂

@@drewisgooden surely nothing an Ellen Interview cant fix! Keep it up buddy!
@@AnaLeviax LMFAOO
@@drewisgooden unlike danny LOL
Samantha knew, she just wanted his content all to herself lol
10:39 that absolutely is Ninja’s fault. He had the duty to review his product. He either didn’t care enough, or didn’t do it at all.
This assumes he even had the ability to screen and review the entire course before it went up, which he almost certainly didn’t.
What I like is that between this and Danny, it's nice to see that even fairly successful people can't necessarily recreate or even know what the pivotal moment of luck was that got them on the right track. They can only know how they took advantage of the moment when it happened. And it makes me feel less sad to know that not everything I worked very hard on didn't work for reasons I didn't grasp as opposed to a factor I could have controlled, but didn't (aside from a fun-to-look-at-fridge). It was just because sometimes things don't work out. Like relationships with promise, but no chemistry or products that were before their time. I already knew that, because obviously I was there, working hard. And I know how hard it was 'cause I worked hard and I was there. And it was hard. And I was working. But it just didn't have that little moment of great fortune Also a great reminder to live in the moment of what IS working.
I think the fact drew only got one follow shows how terrible discoverability on twitch really is.
GOD THAT PROFILE PICTURE
Yeah, he didn't even wear a disguise like Danny lol.
Right on.
Exactly. You NEED to cross-platform in order to grow as a streamer.

@@Just_CaII_Me_Jay that’s fucking crazy???
When the single follower came in and said “that hair is awful I hate it” I died laughing
My favorite part of this is that Ninja was one of the biggest streamers out there but can't explain how to stream successfully. His fame was mostly pure luck and this helps to show it
It’s insane how Danny can disguise himself and pretend to be someone else and everybody knows it’s him, but when Drew just streams as himself for a month no one notices.
That was tiktok, I think that means something
HAHAHAHAHA
Tiktok algorithm is just that powerful
twitch algorithim is horrible. the only chances you find him is if you happen to be searching for the king of scoliosis
That sounds so sad..
Samantha got some real dedication and loyalty, she should teach a masterclass on it
Yeah! I would love to show my dad that masterclass.
BLUE. HAIR.

Drew probably mastered all over her hopes and ambition
I unironically think 'dying your hair blue' is somewhat helpful advice, definitely the most helpful advice of the whole course.

You know how every time you rewatch the Titanic you hope Jack survives? Yeah...
I know this is hella old but I really appreciate someone taking the time to actually showcase their path of starting from nothing, without using other socials to boost your stream. (Not to mention it was hilarious xD) It shows how hard it is, and actually makes me feel way better the like 3 times I tried streaming for myself.
Can you imagine the shock Samantha would feel if Drew streamed again and all his KZhead followers were there
we should all prank samantha
Samantha commented on this video and she's subscribed to his channel :|
It sounds like she was already a fan of Drew.
@@erikapavedtheway WHERE????
@@lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaIa yesterday I sorted comments by newest first and I saw her comment, her username here is also mimosamantha and Drew hearted her comment
Drew: too embarrassed to go out in public with his blue hair Also Drew: shows his blue hair to millions of people online
holy shit this video literally already has a million views on day 1 and is #1 trending on gaming rn wtf
we're not people, we're just guy .
@@hyp3ri6n58 wow wait it was #1? Now it’s #33
People who specifically watch him for his funy shenanigans vs strangers on the street who he has to interact with directly
We are not millions of people online. We are Guy.
I love Drew’s face as he looks at the camera for “yogurt time”
drew complaining about hypotheticals of what they could cover for five seconds is honestly looks more comprehensive than this whole class.
God, the 24 hour stream section hit the nail on the head. I attempted a 24 hour stream a few years ago when I would average 6-10 viewers typically. It's so fun at the beginning, everyone is excited, feels like anything could happen. And then you get to the 18 hour mark and start asking yourself questions like "Is this worth it? Is anyone ever going to know that this event took place? Is Wendy's open yet? Does Wendy's make breakfast food?" At a certain point the desire to eat a #1, Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant dipped in Chick Fil A sauce just wins out all other desires. Truly a humbling experience.
i get you, i decided to stream my animation process, i was there for six hours ...two people pooped up never wrote anything and left ...
What are both of your names on twitch! One more viewer might not streamline you to success but I'd love to go say hi!
@@SieMiezekatze you know what they say, two's a party.
@@SieMiezekatze pooped up? And they didn't even say anything? How rude! Did they at least clean up afterwards?!
yo, i tried streaming once on xbox and I don't even think I made it to the ONE hour mark
I find it funny that when Danny does a disguise, everyone recognizes him but drew can just stream without any disguise and not get recognized at all
That shows very well how hard it is to be discovered and get started on twitch
That’s because 🎶they are not the same person🎶
Twitch favors bigger streamers with only twitch its impossible to get big
i think samantha actually did realize it was drew
coz Danny disguises himself on tiktok and YT where it is relatively easier to be discovered, at least compared to twitch.
hearing ninja say "my hair was blue" a year later, knowing what's going to happen to drew, filled me with dread
"I hope it sends me to hell" absolutely fucking killed me
We’re all just sitting here watching as drew shamelessly drives himself into bankruptcy with every video.
Haha funny man spend money
Yeah spending $300 to make one of these videos and making tens of thousands from ads with his insanely high watch time and from his merch would drive him to bankruptcy
Do you people not know about work expense tax refunds
This guy makes easily close to 100k a month
@@JonahNelson7 its a joke
Should've had a fridge in the background Drew. That's streaming 101.
so fun to look at 😔
And it doesn’t even have to be a real fridge
Doesn't even have to be a real fridge

This nearly a weekly rewatch for me. Its gold
This tells me that Ninja’s success was largely by accident.
The dying his hair was a HUGE curveball like??? I never expected him as someone who would do that especially when literally nobody was asking him to, but at the same time I could ONLY imagine him doing that if nobody was asking him to. What a guy.
It's just hair
@@vanillagorillaog I know I've cut and dyed my hair every possible way i just never expected it of his brand lol
No as soon as he made fun of Ninja talking about the importance of blue hair I knew he was gonna do it. He's just too dedicated to his craft haha
His commitment to jokes is unparalled
Ngl, I think it looks good on him.
you have to admit that his hair is blue
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
it's really fun to look at
I can’t believe that I didn’t catch that… thank you for letting me process this information
i mean i guess
@@shablooey same bro
I have never heard of Ninja. I thought you were taking a masterclass from a real Ninja.
Playing Wolfenstein on the hardest difficulty when your exhausted is very relatable
Real advice that Ninja didn't give: 1. Have your irl friends act as audience when you're just starting out. They can be your test audience, and bolster your numbers slightly. 2. Play games that have an audience but aren't dominated by big streamers. It's no surprise someone came to watch a 'nobody' play Runescape. Obviously, play what you enjoy or are good at, but you'll have a tougher time competing against people with thousands of viewers with games like Fortnite and League. 3. Raid other small streamers at the end of your stream. Bring your friend audience with you. Be friendly in chat, follow them etc. You can build a community if you befriend other streamers on a similar level of popularity to you- you can raid each other, collaborate, and often their followers end up coming to you and yours to them. It's mutually beneficial and I've made some new friends this way.
Amazing advice 👏👏
You deserve a Master Class
4- make your own identity. the same way ninja has his blue hair, pick something of yourself that you could use for your identity, it will be easier for others to recognize you this way. for example picking your favorite food or animal to be ur dono alert, or make characters out of your background scenario (example would be the nutcracker guy from Danny). you can do the same thing from games, like how pewdiepie had the barrels and stephano. these are simple things that will make you recognizable and unique, and remember to make most of them to be unique, kind of a "you had to be there to understand" sort of thing. ofc all of this take time to have, remember your streaming persona will take a while to solidify.
slight problem - i don’t have any irl friends
Totally. This. *obviously* nobody is going to go watch a nobody play fortnite. But there are times I'll just go look at the list of people playing The Witness, or Subnautica; popular games in their own right, with people that enjoy that content, but not streamed 24/7 by giant streamers.
For those of you that are new to this channel, Drew Gooden is sort of the Michael Jordan of having blue hair.
If you aren't new to this channel you probably expected this guy to say he's the Michael Jordan of KZhead but... that would imply that he's one of the very best at it... and I don't know if that's true.
i kept reading that as micael jackson and had no idea what this meant
he’s the Drew Gooden of KZhead
@@gordonfeetman5306 for those of you new to this sport, Michael Jordan is sort of the Drew Golden of basketball
As someone who's been watching for while, I can confirm this is true
Your delivery is so perfectly timed - it reminds me a lot of John Mulaney's writing and delivery style. I've really been enjoying your videos the past few days; keep up the awesome work!
ok but imagine if he got a low taper fade
I like how Drew's first viewer's second stream told him they hate his hair. Honesty's the best policy.
I’m still in shock that he actually dyed his hair
@@bloopydabloop8860 same. I audibly gasped because I genuinely didn't think he'd do it
But she stayed tho :D
If my only viewer was kinda rude I’d quit too XD
I usually love when people dye their hair but seeing Drew with blue hair just feels so wrong it hurts.💀💀
you can't blame ninja for your twitch failure, you didn't do everything he taught, yes you didn't ask samantha or the other viewer about their dog, you could have gone places drew...
Oh god not the sick dog!
The frigeeee
I can’t believe this man really said “pretend you care about your viewers sick dog and you secured the watch!”
Darn you're right... mission failed.. We'll get em next time
@@heather_doestruecrime seriously, pretty much all of it was "be ingenuine for essentially popularity" (disclaimer: I know many people stream to put food on the table, but if you're taking this class you probably don't already have a career in it or content creation in general, thus your motivations are likely tied with desires of visibility and recognition)
This class could have been actually interesting if they focused more on the business side of the streaming and content creating like it's a legit business (because it is..), starting with choosing the right market, selecting a niche you enjoy, finding where your audience is and how to target them, the proper use of different type of content for the right platform (streaming, videos and shorts, posts, etc.) the creation of a client funneling, how to convert the views....or just dye your hair blue
I love what an awkward pickle Drew is
Ew
Respect the troops and all, but I think Amanda should probably not leave Drew alone for longer periods of time.
But she’s still in Vietnam
amanda has stated that she doesn’t like the afghanistan joke or any iteration on it
@@alexg9799 May I know where you saw it? Genuinely just asking cuz I wanna see it...
@@yomiyuarts on the drew gooden reddit. Its a pinned post I think
@@alexg9799 who gives a shit
Ninja as a human is so bizarre because he's like a preteen's idea of a Twitch streamer but as a real person who is living a fanfiction concept of reality. "I wanted to expand my platform so I went on Ellen" is such an insane thing to say in a masterclass, either he is purposely omitting the actual work you need to do for wtv reason, or he has 20 different managers handling every part of his career for him.
I'm gonna go with the latter. Dude turned himself into a commodity and just seems to do anything an agent says.
Or, the dude just got hella lucky and stumbled into his success and thinks that's normal career trajectory. That ones the most funny to me.
Ninja is a 5 year old child in the body of an adult man, so the reason he says things like that is more to brag than anything else... like a little kid would tell his classmates about how Santa brought him more presents than anyone else, it's very cringy the way he LOOOOOOOOVES reminding everyone almost on the daily that he's been on late night shows, and ellen, and the masked singer, and that one time he did the floss in times square on new years eve... 🙄 He's like the Jake Paul of streaming... always going on about how they're the best, and #1, and how they make tons of money... it's so... ugh.
@@0v_x0 flashbacks to ninja doing one of those terrible takis commercials 😵
It shows how detached from reality he is and honestly kind of makes me question whether even he himself knows what made him successful in the first place. Like just say make "YT and Tik Tok content, not only Twitch", not go to hollywood and get on a talk show.
The fact that you have Djo in your playlist made me smile. Good taste. His new album is deeply emotional through music effects much more than the lyrics. It depicts the intensity of of your 20s in a pretty manic way and honestly...can relate.
32:17 it’s been a year and i keep going “i never have to do this ever again, i’m never going to do this again, fuck you ninja!” with that cadence every time i finish doing something i dreaded
Drew with blue hair saying "I sure wish Ninja showed how to ban someone cause then I would know how to do it" after spending $200 on his class is breaking new grounds in comedy I never thought possible.
"that fart is too long" Just imagining samantha being his only viewer who sat through and listened to fart sound effects for minutes is killing me.
Samantha is objectively too good for this world
@@ashikjaman1940 lol the way she found Drew was coz she found him cute it’s so iconic 😭
I love Drew's sarcasm and comedic timing 😂
Thanks for the oatmeal time reminder, I was about to walk my dogs without starting the rice cooker with oatmeal in it first
Honestly this is kind of a good example of how terrible twitch is for smaller creators. The front page of twitch basically only shows me popular 10k viewer streams of categories I have never watched once instead of smaller streamers streaming things I’d be interested in. As many issues as I have with KZhead, the system here is definitely better for allowing smaller channels a chance to be found.
It is your job as a viewer to find the content you wanna watch. You can easily go into the category of your choice and sort to find smaller streamers if that's what you wanna support. At the end of the day it's the streamers job to get noticed not the platform.
@@exitoz1396 bad take
One thing about mixer that was cool is they did have the big streamers on the front page, but also had a good section devoted to showing off smaller streamers who were like sub 200 followers.
yeah, even if you ask bigger twitch streamers their advice is to start on another website and bring your viewers over to twitch
@@exitoz1396 it is actually the platform's job to direct their users to content that they want to watch, or they will stop using the platform and the website will fail
32:53 "Does ninja say anything about making an alluring title bc you never do that" holy crap Samantha is a savage

Coming back to this video after I started streaming and even uploading those streams here and yeah man it's crazy accurate. When no ones in chat you still just wanna talk just in case some rando pops in. Even just for fun these can be so stressful
