In regards to why people like Ninjas channel has lost viewership and that he struggles to regain new subs, or views for that matter...
There are various reasons but one that sticks out to me about Ninja in particular is that social media has been so saturated in polarizing, negative, anti-PC stuff. We were inundated with the anti-PC, anti-SJW etc stuff for so long, that people are just sick of the negativity. Even if it's just jokes, that's not the point. The point is it gives people overall bad vibes. And with the country in the state that it's in today, people feel exhausted and they just want something lighthearted to watch that's not offensive.
Again, there are other reasons why his and other channels have died down. Vlogging is old school now and the internet evolves every few years. The algorithms have changed and makes it harder for independent creators. I could go on and on. But that whole immature negativity thing is one that sticks out to me. People are drowned in various forms of hate online and in real life these days. People are exhausted from it all and just want more positive content these days. Just my opinion.
Your pfp looks like the exact type of person to make a comment like that...
Dude you did an outstanding job with this video. I don't really look at the numbers and my uploads will always be whatever is going on at the moment. Sometimes sports, sometimes guns, sometimes jokes, sometimes vlogs, lately I'm learning how to cook better... so that's what gets uploaded. Aside from a couple cheap cash grabs here and there this channel is more of a journal for me to look back on when I'm old. I appreciate how much research you did on this and thanks for the shout out!
The journal/video diary thing is why I'm still fw ya 🤝
Do a video analyzing the history of DumbData
I appreciate you Ninja. Some of your vids are too much for me, but you have given me hours of content were I am pissing myself laughing. Thank you!
I used to hate your channel but ninja review grew on me and made me a better skater
You made my childhood ninja. Still saying soorryyyy to this day
His street part will always be one of my favs! I know this is in contrast with his personality on yt but in real life he was very kind, and respectful to everyone when i met him. Hope his channel is gonna recover 🙏🏼 keep it up ninja 🙏🏼
goat
Drunk game of skate with you and Steve was hilarious. Thats the only reason he beat ya 🤣
respect for sticking up for him!
@@veryfrozen3271 I never saw that video till i saw your comment and it's the best thing ever!
His mistake was mixing personal life with the channel.
The Ninja Lifestyle I subbed to was an aspiring AM looking to be featured in Big Brother Magazine, not a cooking channel.
Steve is an og. Kills it on and off the board. As for youtube it's changed so much. Subs numbers don't matter in the least. I've been in the youtube game since January 2006. I miss how old skate content was made. This video was made well, good job 🤘
You do such a good job with these man.
Thank you sir!
One thing is that he’s a damn good skater tho
Insane dude the nollie heel down the 8 sheesh
@@dumbdata34 one point i believe you missed. His back injury from his more serious skating. He has a playlist called ninja oldies where its old raw footage when he was much younger. Its incredible hard to keep up the pace of skateboarding after certain injuries. Hes not the best to ever skate but definitely is/was talented
This dude uploads a sponsor tape review series which is kind of fun to watch. I think his character in the videos he makes can be a little bit obnoxious IMO but I have a lot of respect for his channel.
Same
Welp…. going to hear about this on Stop crying poser
Hope so
I've only watched a few of his videos..
But after watching this.. I'm ride or die ninja..
I hope he becomes president.
He’s been in the trenches for a while a** decade
DAMNNN THIS USED TO BE MY DUDEE!! SORRYYYYYYYYY
Ninja is, in my opinion, by FAR the funniest skate UA-camr on the entire platform. Always true to himself and just naturally hilarious. Plus a very talented skater.
jason park
Your funny too hehe hoho haha
You love him because he behaves outwardly how you feel and think on the inside, lol. I'm a fellow ENTP, and I too love the ESTP personality type.
I agree, I dig his channel
I skated with him at bunker park back in like 2017 I was trying to kflip the 9 stair there when I popped my bearing and I asked if had an extra one he went to his car and found one for me and then gave me a sticker I stg I landed like second try after I had been trying all day 2 land it Ninja always been a great skater and supporter of the Vegas skate scene
Yeah he seems like a good guy and hes so funny. Can't knock him. I'd rather hang with him than some trend following skaters
I still watch Ninja Lifestyle, he's a speedrunner, breaks tables and his reviews are hilarious. #ThatiswtfIdo!!!
Dope
I go there here and now, but it kinda bumps me down when , he is reviewing a video that is not that bad by any means, and kinda exxagerate too much on the hate. My opinion thou ,maybe cause i ve been skating for about 15 years but i coundnt develop as much skill, but i have fun. Cheers
It’s all about the algorithm. Statistics prove this. Having subscribers isn’t enough. You need the algorithm to feed your subscribers your videos. The subscriptions tab is an outdated relic from when UA-cam believed you knew best what you wanted to watch.
We don’t know what we want
That last sentence sums up the reality of the entire topic
Yeah i'm subbed to Ninja and his videos haven't popped up on my feed in YEARS. Basically toe the line and do as you are told or they will shut you down and ruin your life in anyway possible.
He said "gay" in a negative way. UA-cam shadow banned him, and kicked him off the algorithm.
Ninja is an innovator, wether people can understand is up to them, but making vids uploading them and being consistent is fucken wild I love that he’s not stopping very inspiring
Ninja is one of the Mount Rushmores of youtube skate channels. I still watch him.
Who else is on there? I'll check them out as I will Ninja. Cheers
damn this video was sooo good. If you focused on more wider audience topics instead of skateboarding, your channel would guarenteed have like 1mil+ subs
Thanks!!
Here for the comeback mid to late '24
Next: majer crew analysis !!!!
True
First I want to say this was a great video! I think why these skate channels you listed are getting less views is because when they came out, average people liked watching random skate dudes who made funny videos. Now youtube is even more average people and the people that watch skateboarding channels are mostly skaters, which are far far less than the normal youtube viewers, which don't even know that these channels exist. Great video again, keep up the great work!
His early "cooking with ninja" videos were genuinely some of the funniest videos on the internet
I used to watch him sometimes. Randomly thought about him the other day and went to his channel. Definitely saw the drop off and it broke me 😫
I've been watching Ninja for over a decade. He's the reason why I know pop shuvit lateflips and I'll always love his content. Sad to see
Dude keeps it orignal and is from LV most won't understand his insanity. He never became a mainstream character bc hes just himself
Bro branch out past skating don’t fall behind putting yourself in a box like these other joes
thanks dd. you are a true historian.
Thank you!!
Aye he did teach me how to pop shuv-it late-flip though🙄
His ninja review series is some of the most entertaining skate content on UA-cam imo
Excellent video. I know ninja personally and didn't even know like 80% of this stuff.
I've watched ninjalifestyle since the beginning.
True fan status
Ninja is an OG don't hate.
Fair enough
Ain't no hate in it son
@@dumbdata34 not saying he's not problematic... But he's yet to entirely cancel himself. Btw are you gifted hater?
I actually find Ninja absolutely hilarious just as a person
His old intro song has been stuck in my head for about 8 years now
what about the outro lol
@@dumbdata34 who could forget 😮💨
Twitter toooooooooo
Freestyle rapping about your video part as the music for your video part is very original
NinjaLifestyle was a personal account for Black Ninja, buddy was poppin before he made his account. Popshuv it late flip.
Honestly, it's mostly the algorithm not pushing his content out much, ie. the censorship based on cursing, topics discussed and the type of videos. It's actually kind of weird to see views are down by so much. But it's not UA-cam that's dying. It's the algorithm fucking shit up. Hard.
Lotta b-roll
Sooooorrrryyyyyy
Lol true
I can tell this guys a nerd cus he's says "edgey"
im always down for a ninja review. sorrrryyyyyyyyyy.
He's reviews are funny, he's still around! He's a bit of a chad, but I enjoy some of he's content! Some of he's scooter vids are funny too
I absolutely LOVE Ninja. He's the real OG. My guy used to rap his own songs in his parts and dude is rapping the names of each trick he does in the part and that shit blew my mind and changed my outlook on things. Ninja made a lot of people realize they should care about the art but not care about what others think of them.
I commented before watching lmao
Honestly I haven't watched his videos in years (mostly because life got busy and I was spending way less time watching youtube in general), but this popped up in my recommendations and I was very intrigued. Good video that really tackled skate youtube channel performace much more broadly. You might want to consider changing the title/thumbnail to imply this aspect
Gifted Hated is way overrated
Guy gets 1 out of 5 videos correct
The rest is just him crying and complaining about Capitalism in Skateboarding which is what has allow it to be this big
ayy shoutout to whythetrick, his videos are very helpful!
Homie goes in
@@dumbdata34 facts
UA-cam is killing itself with all the ads. And content creators are killing themselves with all the sponsored content and in video ads.
If you watch on your phone, drag the video till the end & press replay. Then there'll be no more ads on that vid.
@@yellowmellow6688 now if only we could get rid of sponsored content. UA-cam videos are turning into infomercials!
@@Shredxcam22 UA-cam is a shithole
for the record Terry Kennedy rapped over his part in baker 3 (2005)
i acctually submitted a video for Ninja to review wich he dissed me for, and didnt watch more than 30 secs, coudnt blame him
#metoo
I was kinda expecting that hehe
@NinjaLifestyle at 7:34 FOOT ON THE GROUND!
ninja was a significant part of my childhood honestly, thanks for putting this vid together
i still love his content and love stop crying poser
He’s a trooper
love that dude
How does it feel that gifted hater grew way faster and bigger than you and you actually try…
Skate, in general, has a low viewership on the Internet. If you check the number of views of Thrasher parts, it's depressing how some people spend months, even years, breaking their bodies to get 4 minutes of footage and less than 200.000 views.
Hate to see it
Ryden is gonna be so messed up lol. You think Andy was soft AF. That ryden kid is bully bait.
Ninja, in my eyes, is vital to the skateboard scene. His consistent expectation for the sport to be pushed to higher levels is part of why i enjoy his vids so much. Was happy when he started reviewing pro parts cuz fr some ams b putting out better
Been watching Black Ninja since his Vegasskating days. Pretty much grew up watching him. Dude makes me hyped that I live in Vegas.
Ninja was the only dood who could teach ya how 2 get dem bishez on yer DILLY, son.
Whythetrick is a really fucking good channel i recommend everyone that needs a trick tip to watch this channel
Love this channel, +2
Hmmm kind of sus that the #s changed so dramatically 🧐
i love ninja
Man your channel is so underrated. Think we all appreciate the amount of research put into this. Hope someone in the scene gives you the boost you deserve.
Feel like this could be a monthly parody feature on the Nine Club or something, going over weird, jokes data that wouldn't make a full DD edit.
Either way, top content.
And then compare the situation to you! You get more views than your subscriber count on almost every video, consistently. You're doing such a good job mate love the content
SORRRYY
Andy Shrock being a Juvenile delinquent 🤣
The gay comply joke is funny, if you just isolate it from all homophobic views and only think about the humor
I love no complies and gay people are great but gay comply always makes me crack up so much. It's the way he says it too
Ummm, what exactly is the humor?
i sent the ninja warrior a link to an old edit of mine. i'd love to hear what you think of "fall 2010 edit"on my ytpagers
I sometimes tune into his streams still
kinda hit the ball wrong with the revive kid videos. Should've sticked to his guns more and drop the gay remarks, not that i care about that. Canceling because of that stuff is hilarious in my sense of what a cesspool internet is anyway. People tend to be glass in some cases and completely ignore real problems anyway.
those jenkem dudes r abit washed ngl
nose wheelie nollie inward was wild
youtube pulled the plug on him. His videos are never recommended to me for multiple years now even though i'm only subscribed to like 5 other channels.
Ninja is a beast
You know what I’m sayin
THATS WHAT THE FUCK I DO
Ninja is The OG UA-cam skateboarder
I love ningalifestyle he's the best youtuber I know
Dumb Data is the new era
Nah haha thanks bro
NinjaLifestyle used to be piss funny
Ninja is my dog Youngblood
Failing to mention arcade crainiacs 😒
Frankie decker just got a thrasher cover... a vegasskating OG...
man, ninja is like wine
Absolutely loath the knob
He used to be entertaining but meh. I lived in Vegas for a while and he was always at bunker.
Nice
Ninja is the dad of all skate UA-camrs but still doesn’t get much credit
Thank you for calling Ryden what he really is to his father, a cash cow
pop shuvit lateflip, pop shuvit late flipppp
Get it
didnt even know he made another rap video, time to check it out LMAO
He did another one after ‘Neat’ called ‘what time when’
@@dumbdata34 a certified hood classic
I laughed so dam hard at the Dan Corrigan cameo.
Dan don’t give af
@@dumbdata34 i ironically just met ninja today. Nice dude and he was honestly stoked on this video.
gotta love rad rat
Ninjalifestyles a boss and his videos are still good, its super unfortunate he doesnt get so many views
He gets in his own way
@@dumbdata34 youtube is just super strict now, its weened out a lot of great content creators
he's great
NO WAY! I am the oldest skate channel on youtube with a 1 Million view video. Just found that out at 14:48
All I have to say is cat daddy pop shuvit late flip.
He got those
Ninja lifestyle is the best, never change Steve 💕
That coffee table video ninja did was hilarious 🤣
Danggggg I forgot about ninja!
Never forget
I still enjoy Ninja's videos now and then. There not as good as they use to be, but still fun! I will admit his video are starting to be very repetitive, so I can't watch them everyday
