YouTuber Drew Gooden recently experimented with streaming using Ninja‘s “How to be a Streamer” MasterClass, but he didn’t think the outcomes were worthwhile.
A degree’s worth of paid college classes is available online, along with 10-minute YouTube tutorials and countless other courses. However, it also means that there is an endless supply of poor-quality courses from online personalities and celebrities.
Drew Gooden is renowned for making dubious purchases and occasionally altering his lifestyle for content. Tom Brady claims that he made an effort to live a healthier lifestyle a few months ago, which led to a month of suffering and little progress.
Gooden has now decided to test Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins’ streaming MasterClass on his own. The streaming community had previously targeted Ninja’s paid course for offering advice that might make viewers uncomfortable when it was first released in March 2022.
The video “I took Ninja’s MasterClass and it ruined my life” was uploaded by Drew Gooden on July 31. Gooden participated in Blevins’ month-long course that is designed to help students establish their streaming presence. In the opening of his video, Gooden criticizes the course, calling it unimpressive and claiming that everyone involved seemed to be giving it little thought.
Gooden started to doubt the course’s value after noticing the editing and the advice given to the Ninja’s frequent trailing off.
Positively, Good thought that the course’s front half contained useful information about the tools needed, setups for various price ranges, and how to set up OBS, but that the course’s second half lacked any substantial information.
The course’s second half was designed to show streamers how to engage with viewers and expand their audience. However, Gooden showed how it was really just a highlight reel of Ninja’s greatest successes, making it impractical for anyone just starting out in streaming. However, Gooden put all of the options to the test after the course.
Gooden, who goes by the handle “scoliosisking,” started a new Twitch channel without making any effort to promote it on his social media pages. He then went live for his first stream. Each of his first seven streams would last for about one to two hours, during which time he would only gain one follower.
Gooden chose to go all out for his eighth stream, streaming for a full 24 hours while playing a variety of games, dying his hair “Ninja blue,” and ending the show with no new followers.
He disclosed that over the course of eight streams, “scoliosisking” had streamed for a total of 40 hours. 25 to 30 different viewers randomly dropped by (usually for a few seconds at most), with three of them using chat. Gooden left Twitch with just one follower after spending $180 and a workweek’s worth of streaming.
In order to learn from “Ninja,” Drew advised, all one needs to do is watch his live broadcasts. The best way to learn how to stream is to simply observe streamers at work, whereas other MasterClasses are from unique perspectives you can only find there.
