Who created Kick?

Behind this platform are the popular streamers, Trainwreck and Adin Rossnext to Ed Craven, betting site founder Stake, who began a path hand in hand with former Twitch workers.

The site shares an interface very similar to Amazon’s streaming platform, as well as options like categories and chat. However, its main differential value is the protection of the rights of creators over business rights.

It’s still in beta, but many have expressed interest in giving it a spin, so it’s only a matter of time before it brings together more content creators.

Many Latino and North American streamers have already expressed their intention to move to another platform, without completely leaving Twitch.

Among those are: Adin Ross, Trainwreck and WestCol. While in conversations they meet The Xokas, AuronPlay, Amouranthamong others.

What does Kick promise?

Kick promises a 95-5 subscriber revenue split, which blows Twitch’s 50-50 and YouTube’s 70-30 policies out of the water. This is in addition to a 100% split in Kicks, the platform’s regular donation service. Creators can get paid the same day, without having to wait for a monthly check.

Those are some big numbers, but the platform is confident it can sustain it with advertisers footing the bill: “Kick will partner with the world’s top advertisers to generate cash flow,” Trainwreck said. “I think creating the best incentives for creators will bring the best creators to Kick, and the best creators will bring the best advertisers,” he added.

According to the figures from the Kickstats portal, which shows the number of viewers in real time, the highest peaks reach an average of 130,000, especially at dawn in Spain, which is the busiest time in the United States, while in the rest of the day the numbers of users can reach around 30,000… At the moment, these numbers are too far from those reached by Twitch, but it is a threat that is growing more and more.
