Surprised Kick has that kind of walking around money.
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.
I mean it's probably easy when you get your money by fleecing your fan base with a crypto gambling scheme.
Ah, i personally don't use Twitch much so I didn't even know what the rival was either.
I watched about 30 seconds of this guy for a Rust twitch drop before muting it. How can anyone stand him?
Kids, it's kids that love him.
Deja vu....
He will be back when his contract is up, like they all do.
For $100M i would stream my naked ass all day long lol
Like when Microsoft "bought" Ninja for their streaming platform Mixer that closed soon after? Good for them.
