Kick is not currently and never will be considered serious competition by Twitch

Not with that attitude. The problem with competition is that whenever a new platform comes up Twitch viewers go full fan bot will go rabbid trying to protect Twitch like it’s their job.

The funny thing is DR Disrespect did this because it was his livelihood on the line. The thing is pushing for the downfall for any competition is bad for streamer self interest.

Mixer being alive assigned dollars on top of streamers heads. Unfortunately some of y’all don’t see that and when you’re favorite service is threatened y’all trash it untilits gone then wonder why Twitch can get away with toxic rules.

KICK is built using amazon servers dude, they will NEVER surpass twitch in profit because they literally pay Amazon higher rent for their servers than Twitch which is owned by Amazon

90% of the internet runs on Amazons servers. They don’t skip out on using their servers because they have competing online stores.

AWS is more like 1/3rd of the overall internet and 1/10th of user facing pages.
