Myth, the former king of Fortnite content, has announced that he will take a break from streaming. The news came as his two-year YouTube contract wrapped up. Now his fanbase is wondering what’s next for the gaming sensation.
Myth, whose real name is Ali Kabbani, became famous during Fortnite’s golden age. His lightning-fast building skills and entertaining speeches made him a Twitch superstar. But like many before him, YouTube’s deep pockets lured Myth, and he finally dumped Twitch.
Two years ago, he made the leap to the red-branded platform. It seemed like a brilliant idea at the time: big money, new audience, what could go wrong? As it turns out, plenty.
Despite his best efforts, Myth struggled to maintain his viewership on YouTube. His once-mighty stream fell to an average of just 100 viewers. That’s got to hurt for a guy used to pulling thousands. The same thing happened to Dr Disrespect. He could never “grip” onto his Twitch viewer numbers and was eventually dropped for misconduct allegations.
In an 11-minute video that felt more like a therapy session, Myth spilled the tea on his decision to take a break. He painted a picture of burnout, frustration, and a desperate need to reassess his career path.
Some fans rallied behind their fallen hero, praising his honesty and wishing him well. Others weren’t so supportive, criticizing the dramatic nature of the video and accusing Myth and making a bigger deal out of the story than necessary. After all, he left his community for another platform and now gets to feel the consequences.
Myth, however, claims this break was planned all along. From the moment he inked that YouTube deal, he knew he’d need some time off when it ended. Strategic move or convenient excuse? You be the judge.
Fans and streaming insiders are already speculating about Myth’s next move. Will he go back to Twitch, or is this the end for the once-unstoppable streamer? As Myth takes his much-needed break, we are left to wonder what could have been. Will he come back stronger than ever, or is this the beginning of the end?
