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

    The rival platform is “Kick” in case anyone wants to not open the article but still wants to know which it is.

        Kick is run by gambling companies and online casinos. the initial reason for Kick even existing was that Twitch banned gambling streams

        It’s a new platform so they must be burning investor money to promote the platform by doing this. It’s working. They just need to have a plan to earn it back.

    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.

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