Streamer Herschel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm took to Twitch on Wednesday to provide some commentary on his thoughts aboutFortnitestreamerTyler “Ninja” Blevins’ decision to make the jump to Mixer. Dr Disrespect claims he knows how much the service paid Ninja to make the jump.
In the stream, Dr Disrespect takes aim at Ninja’s decision, claiming that the popular streamer made the wrong move. He gets visibly worked up in the video and says that he “knows the number,’ referencingthe amount Mixer paid Ninja to move to the platform, though he doesn’t provide it. One of his viewers even asks him to calm down.

This comes just over a week after a stream in whichDr Disrespect said that he would accept a similar Mixer deal if offered. That stream aired a few days after Ninja’s announcement. At the time, Dr. Disrespect said, “I don’t give a **** what platform I stream on, dude,” and that he would go wherever offers him the most money. He went on to say that Mixer would have to offer him a deal at Ninja’s level or higher.
It seems odd that the streamer would take such a hard stance on Ninja’s Mixer deal so quickly claiming he would make the jump himself. As mentioned above, Dr Disrespect has taken over as number one on Twitch now that Ninja has left. It would make sense for him to bid the streamer adieu and go about his business.
However, it has always been tough to figure out the motivations behind the streamer. Dr Disrespect often jumps back and forth into character which makes it difficult to know the difference between his genuine opinion and his persona. The frustration in this clip seems genuine, butDr Disrespect has broken character in the past.
