After dealing with lots of bad PR from terrible decisions, Twitch now has to deal with one of its biggest streamers moving to another platform, Kick, with a deal larger than those of most athletes

    This is actually good. Twitch has become just as anti-consumer as Reddit ever since Mixer shut down.

    Maybe it’s just me, but something always seemed sketchy about Kick. Their ability to throw around hundreds of millions of dollars without any clear ownership smells fishy. I personally wouldn’t be surprised if in 5 years there was an in depth Coffeezilla video exposing the platform.

      I believe they are have been heavily invested by the owners of Stake.com the gambling platform. Pretty sure when Twitch banned gambling streams that was their cue to start or invest heavily in Kick.

      great that there’s a Twitch rival trying to get serious

      Kick is not it though.
      Their mothership Stake is crypto gambling casino and it’s shady as fuck
