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

    Reminds me of when Mixer signed Ninja over to that streaming service. Let’s see if Kick sticks around.

      Not that Twitch chat is a flawless representation of a streamer’s overall value, but just popping in on XQC’s channel - it’s wild how many people are actually engaged and chatting. It seems like a lot of people there are only there for X.

      On the flip side I remember times going into Ninja’s (same with Shroud) where there’s 30k viewers or something nuts but the chat might be scrolling slower than a mid-sized streamer’s. Just seems like more people will actually go to Kick (less professional, more “go wild”) than in the former cases with Mixer (more corporate, professional).

      I imagine gambling streams/advertisement will be big enough to keep the site going, that’s one thing Mixer didn’t have
