I've never heard of the guy tbh.

No more Mixer; Microsoft shutting down its Live Streaming service next month.
Microsoft shutting down its Mixer live streaming platform in July - Will partner with Facebook Gaming instead.
Microsoft will be shutting down its struggling video game live streaming platform Mixer on 22nd July and partnering with Facebook Gaming in its stead.
Mixer initially launched under the name Beam in 2016 and was rapidly acquired by Microsoft, who re-branded the platform with its current moniker the following year. However, despite the company's concerted efforts to boost the popularity of its service - which included signing up hugely popular Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins as a Mixer exclusive in 2019 - its live streaming venture struggled against competition from Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.
And now, less than a year on from the high-profile hiring of Blevins, Microsoft is ready to concede defeat in own live streaming efforts. Mixer will officially cease operations next month, and Mixer partners and streamers will transition to Facebook Gaming starting today.

Yea. Not nice for those working away trying to build a living on Mixer. The Shrouds/Ninja's just get even richer now.
A lot of people suggesting Facebook will be successful, but it feels like Twitch is just too dominant now (obviously I'm thinking about the western market). I can see YouTube Gaming remaining relevant or the number 2 given the mesh with it's core video uploads/content creators but I think everything else might be too late. And that really hit Mixer.

This is being reported by most places missing one key piece. Mixer is closing, but MS is also partnering with Facebook Gaming to promote xCloud.
I guess they poached Ninja to try and boost the numbers on Mixer for it to be a portal for xCloud when it launched officially but that has failed.
You'd assume this has everything to do with giving xCloud a big enough platform from which to soundly beat Stadia and everything else is secondary.

Interesting story here, a social media move calling for a day of no streaming tomorrow on Twitch to recognise the flood of sexual abuse, racism and rape/assualt allegations over the last few days.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-53164395
#Twitchblackout is trending today as streamers across the world ask people to avoid the site for a day.
They're calling for a blackout because they think the streaming site can do more to recognise victims of sexual and racial abuse.
Dozens of women have recently claimed they have been sexually assaulted by people in the gaming industry.
Twitch says it takes accusations of sexual harassment seriously.
