A re-run episode of AFK as we do some spring cleaning this week. 

Today take a deep dive into the INFAMOUS Ninja Mixer deal and Mixer as a whole - from its inception to its turbulent collapse, revealing the nitty-gritty details you've been curious about. What was the state of the gaming and streaming industry when Mixer was born, and how did it change Ninja's career? Get an insider's look at the money, the decision-making process, and how Ninja navigated the rollercoaster ride. Plus, we'll dive into some fan reviews and questions in The AFK Chatroom, clarifying just how to balance finances as an up and coming streamer.
