After dealing with lots of bad PR from terrible decisions, Twitch now has to deal with one of its biggest streamers moving to another platform, Kick, with a deal larger than those of most athletes

    @Kara A bit of history here :

    Stake (a sketchy online casinos) made Kick after Twitch banned gambling using sketchy online casinos from the platform.

    XQC was one of the streamer sponsored by Stake.

    Xqc got mad when another streamer (Mizkif) were campaigning to get gambling banned from Twitch, so XQC try to weaponized a girl sexual allegation against Mizkif’s friend in order to cancelled Mizkif.

      That is some excellent context, thanks.
      I know a few streamers that have been chatting about kick. The gambling origin/backing makes it seem sketchy AF.
