Kick has surfaced as a formidable competitor to Amazon’s Twitch, enticing creators with a more favorable 95/5 subscription revenue split, and actively pursuing top-tier talent in the live streaming realm.
High-profile individuals like Dr Disrespect are allegedly on the verge of joining Kick, with noted streamers like Adin Ross and Trainwreck already delivering content on the platform. Furthermore, Kick is anticipated to reveal more additions to their roster in the future, including some globally recognized “mega superstars.”
Based on xQc’s ChatGPT interaction history, it’s possible that he might be one of the star figures that Kick has successfully onboarded, following the accidental exposure of his AI discussions live on Twitch.
On May 10, xQc navigated to ChatGPT and inadvertently displayed a conversation where he sought advice from the AI about transitioning from Twitch to its competitor.
The Canadian gaming influencer was seen asking the AI, “As the biggest Twitch streamer worldwide, I’ve signed with a new platform, Kick. How should I best inform my viewers about my new contract?”
Following the AI’s recommendations, Lengyel purportedly questioned about gambling practices on Kick, citing the significant controversy stirred when he engaged in betting activities on Twitch.
However, xQc has refuted these claims, alleging he wasn’t even present at the computer and that this could be a prank given the shared nature of his account.
“Seriously? This is clearly a joke,” he retorted. “I didn’t do this.”
The uncertainty still lingers on whether xQc will actually migrate to Kick. Such a move would undoubtedly make headlines. Yet, as of now, there is no concrete evidence confirming his transition to the competing streaming platform.
Nevertheless, as Kick continues to tease about major names joining their ranks, anticipation builds around whether xQc will indeed make the leap and bid farewell to Twitch.
