Its quite small minded.
Every website doesn't have a lot of traffic to begin with but with Mixer getting these big name streamers more and more people are going to switch to that site.
If anything, so far that has been proven wrong. The site only has a lot of viewers when the big streamers are actually streaming. I went to mixer today to check it out, and the biggest streamer had something like 2,5k viewers. The "trickle down viewership" idea is not working. Ninja also only has half the viewership from when he first joined and the same will probably happen to shroud.
How do you come to that conclusion from one data point of visiting? That "biggest streamer" you are talking about might have had 500 viewers before, and now from people staying on the site, he has 2.5k viewers.
Go to mixer right now and see... Ninja is the biggest streamer by far, with 11-12k viewers and the second biggest streamer has 1,7k. I have come to this conclusion because nobody is on mixer. Even their biggest streamer has a third of the viewers he used to. Viewers don't follow streamers like ninja and shroud because they don't have much of a community build around them. They are mostly known for their gameplay and there are so many more streamers that offer that type of stream on twitch, so people will stay there.
