Ninja may have moved over to Mixer already but he is having issues on his former Twitch page now after the streaming platform had begun promoting other streams in his place including a porn channel.
Twitch seems to be quite salty about the move as soon after Ninja left, the streaming platform removed his verification checkmark as well as began promoting other channels on his page. One of these other promoted channels seemed to be streaming pornography.
Of course, with millions of subscribers on Ninja’s channel, a lot of people saw this promo which caused the porn streaming channel to be moved to the number one spot. Ninja was quite upset about the whole debacle releasing a statement on Twitter to vent his frustration.

Ninja claims his channel was “singled out” saying no other departed streamers had other channels promoted on their page. He apologized saying he has no control over what gets promoted on the dormant channel and he tried to get the whole channel taken down after his move to Mixer.
Twitch CEO Emmett Shear released a statement about the mess apologizing to Ninja for the incident. According to Emmett, Twitch was experimenting with showing recommended content across the platform including on streamer’s platforms while they are offline.
Twitch has since suspended the recommendations and launched an investigation on how the content can be promoted. He also states the pornography channel has since been permanently suspended.
Whatever is going on at Twitch on Ninja’s account, it is not doing well to show the streaming platform’s good faith towards Ninja’s move to Mixer. The streamer hit one million subscribers withing five days on Microsoft’s platform but Twitch seems to be making issues for him instead of just leaving the Fortnite player in peace.
