For reference Ninja’s deal with Mixer was reportedly $50m
That’s insane, Kick must be desperate, wow.
Wow, I thought the days of streamers receiving huge contracts to join a platform were over. I’m sure having xQc streaming on Kick will be beneficial, but is it really $70 million beneficial? Facebook and Youtube have both paid a ton of money to get big streamers from twitch, but I don’t feel like that moved the needle much.
I’m still hesitant to sign up on Kick from what happened with Mixer and Facebook. Not to mention, nobody is going to Kick without a Kick-specific contract. No streamer is just gonna wake up and be like, “Lemme jump to Kick and rebuild my audience from scratch just for funsies.”
What does this have over twitch? Are they less uptight about rules etc?
The main point that always is brought up is allowing gambling/slot streaming, but yeah what you said is more or less on point (gambling gets brought up because of it direct ties to the owners/sponsors/investors with such sites).
So they’re worse and just a way for those streamers to foster addiction and promote gambling to children? That’s amazing
