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 ?

    Well, it’s quite simple really:

    1. Kick has very little moderation. Pirate streams and gambling streams abound on Kick
    2. The worst people who got banned from YouTube and Twitch continue to stream on Kick and who wants to be associated with that?
    3. Kick is owned by a gambling company. Seriously think about it for more than 10 seconds, the service is entirely built on AWS which costs so much even Twitch which is literally owned by Amazon can’t turn a profit. Venture capital ain’t handing out free money to super unprofitable companies right now so they clearly are making money somewhere, and that somewhere is gambling
