Ninja’s MasterClass: A Meme in the Making
The famous Fortnite player, Ninja, who has been a trailblazer for streamers, recently launched a MasterClass in March 2022. This online course claims to help fans become successful streamers within 30 days by teaching them about audience engagement and building a brand. However, the concept has received mixed reviews and has become a meme in the past few days.
Ninja’s MasterClass has faced criticism, with many questioning its value. YouTuber Drew Gooden, in a recent video, sarcastically commented on Ninja’s MasterClass, saying, “With years of clicking and yelling now under his belt, Tyler is now ready to share the secrets that led him to the top for the low, low price of one annual membership to MasterClass.”
In his YouTube video, Gooden signed up for Ninja’s MasterClass for entertainment purposes. He shared what the class entails, such as receiving a PDF full of “gaming lingo” upon signing up and how Ninja uses funny voices to make viewers laugh.
Streamers React to Ninja MasterClass
Gooden’s video gained significant traction, with over 1.4 million views, sparking reactions from other streamers like DisguisedToast on Twitch.
During a recent stream, DisguisedToast watched Gooden’s video on the MasterClass and found it hilarious. When Ninja explained how streamers should interact with viewers, DisguisedToast jokingly took notes, mocking Ninja’s advice, saying, “Ask people if their dog is sick.”
Laughing, DisguisedToast admitted that he does the opposite, saying, “If someone tells me how sad they are, I’m like, I don’t give a shit. You’re bringing down my vibes. Fuck off.”
It’s evident that many people in the gaming and streaming world struggle to take the MasterClass seriously. This skepticism may stem from Ninja’s controversial actions, such as refusing to stream with female gamers and his infamous tweet about his bra-less wife bringing him a sandwich without being asked to.
