competition is good when a single company has practical monopoly on an industry (twitch, streaming), but Kick is an awfully unethical company founded by people looking to cash in on getting people addicted to gambling. out of the frying pan, and straight into the fire!

Like when Microsoft “bought” Ninja for their streaming platform Mixer that closed soon after? Good for them.

XQC is doing their first stream on Kick, and the site has been down more or less the whole time.

Holy fuck that site is a 1:1 copy of Twitch’s frontend.

Makes me wonder if that’s even legal.

Apparently Twitch’s source code was leaked, and Kick is “loaning” some parts of that code.

I watched about 30 seconds of this guy for a Rust twitch drop before muting it. How can anyone stand him?

Who’s giving these kids all that money that their interests are so valuable?

It’s the number that counts. All these kids subscribing for 5$ a month that their parents don’t mind giving them (5$ is pocket change these days) add up to millions.
