The streaming platform war could heat up significantly. A recent tweet from Kick co-founder Ed Craven suggests that Twitch rivals will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to overthrow their rivals.
The ties Kick and Craven share with online gaming platform Stake.com will help:
After signing million-dollar deals with streamers like xQc and Amouranth, Kick seems to be planning to keep his wallet open.This was revealed by the site's co-founder himself via Twitter before becoming X, where he asserted that "the best days of streaming are yet to come."
Craven seems to have big plans ahead to bring in more streaming talent at almost any cost.As global regulation tightens, a conservative approach is desirable.
The new streaming crown
Craven is optimistic about Kick and its ability to knock Twitch off its pedestal, including Hamster Race.But some users don't think the site will work.
One person claimed he made a mistake in signing a multi-million dollar deal with xQc recently, even though he wasn't asked for his opinion.In response, Craven, whose Stake.com is considering buying Rush Street Interactive, hinted at big changes coming to the platform.
He revealed that Kick will be signing a $100 million deal with 100 people.In addition, he plans to sign 1,000 more people for $10 each.
Kick is focused on attracting as many creators as possible.As such, we reiterate our desire to provide fair pay to all streamers who strive to create content on the platform.
This strategy may be working, as the numbers continue to grow. Data from Streamcharts.com show an average of 2 viewers for the week of February 16-23.The average from May 1th to July 39,558th was 29, but it has decreased slightly.Currently there are about 7.
It's also possible that Kick will sign celebrities who haven't embarked on streaming or creating content yet.NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, who revealed on the Squadcast podcast a few days ago that he would like to join Kick if he was paid enough, is one of them.
MVP Hall of Famer Shaq said:
"Paying $5000 million just to play a video game?...I'm in trouble because I'm going after him. So he just turns the camera on and people just look at him?" ?…I might have to look into that."
To race with Alfa Romeo
The F1 Belgian Grand Prix will be held this weekend if the weather permits.The attention of the kick may increase again.The platform's neon green logo has already been associated with Alfa Romeo's esports team through partnerships, and now it's time for the logo to appear when the carmaker makes a presence in Belgium.
According to a press release, the Kick will appear in a customized livery for the racing team.It will be drawn not only on the car but also on the uniform.
Of course, the momentum of a kick can be stopped by just one action, including the kick.The other day, a video of Kick streamer Suspenders was released, causing a stir on social media.In it, he allegedly kicked a cat that jumped into his bed while he was trying to sleep.
The video has been removed from Kick, but there are other reasons for legislative intervention to control streaming platforms.Suspenders, for example, allegedly tried to woo an underage Nepalese girl in a stream posted on the platform.He was subsequently arrested in connection with this act.
He also allegedly had sex while broadcasting the livestream.What made the incident even worse was that, according to comments in subsequent threads, there were minors in the room at the time.
