So recently there was a controversy with a bunch of live streamers leaving twitch or duel streaming to Kick.Com.

However people dislike Kick saying it is less ethical then Twitch so what is the deal with that ?

    Kick is owned by a gambling company; and they pretty much allow anything gambling related. They use the platform as a promotion method for their sites, so they attract streamers by giving rates Twitch can’t even come close to.

      Twitch is owned by Amazon one of the biggest companies in human history they are not the underdog they could give more money if they wanted.

        Yes, but for a business perspective, profit gears need to be turned in one way or another. Since Amazon wants Twitch the platform itself to be profitable, the rates need to be adjusted like that to make even. Kick is pretty much part of the advertisement budget for Stake, and for big online casinos that, losing out Kick’s profit isn’t really a problem, as long as it drives people to them.
