@BroDrillard at the present moment:
53,000 on twitch
10,900 on kick

So roughly 5 to 1. Twitch is really screwing him.

@BroDrillard @beardalaxy Twitch is trying to make money through ads and subs. Kick is marketing campaign for online gambling. I would be willing to bet their independent financials are garbage.

@John_Darksoul @BroDrillard both twitch and kick are ran at a loss AFAIK

@beardalaxy @BroDrillard Youtube is the only one turning a profit last I checked, and only fairly recently (like last 5 years or so). Difference is I don't think Kick cares about running a profit. People have shown an unwillingness to pay for entertainment, but they do pay to gamble. Their business model is to use streaming as a way to funnel guys to their casino website. As long as the revenue gained from this exceeds the cost of running the site it can be considered profitable to them. Twitch is run by Amazon which I believe has put more pressure on them to up their numbers.

@John_Darksoul @beardalaxy @BroDrillard and also if you're the challenger you'll do anything to "growth hack"
twitch payouts dropped over the years as well while ads increased
if kick were to really take of, that is become a real platform on it's own, they'd cut these payouts

It's probably only a matter of time before kick goes all gay and corpo friendly if it hasn't already.

Maybe. But tbh i think Eddie lets a lot of shit slide as long as nobody complains. Just look at Bossman

@mwee @Morghur their business model revolves around gambling if i'm not mistaken, rather than advertisers, so if it does go that way it'll at least take longer.

Yeah, this is true. A lot of people in Kick are just there to promote Stake, a gambling site that belongs to the same guy that owns Kick.

But they pay good money to streamers if they get into their partner program

@Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy imagine asmongold gambling

I think his crashouts would be extremely underwhelming compared to the chimpouts Austin has done

@Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy he is genuinely the best streamer online no other streamer can compete with telling your dad you want to kill yourself when your dad walks in saying "hey your gf is outside dude" because he got in the way of the gamble sesh

@PurpCat @Morghur @mwee the absolute stay of his wall lmao

@beardalaxy @Morghur @mwee it got fixed up recently but he's been going to town with his desk again, hitting his keyboard after losses

I wonder how many keyboard he has decimated so far. He alone could sustain the keyboard industry

@Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy he hasn't destroyed his herman miller chair he bought on his crack binge though

@Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy real content is gambling your crack money on stream and then hanging up the phone because you can't pay your dealer

@PurpCat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy love the anti clipper overlay

@bronze @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy remember the clipper is the kind of person who thinks calling the guy he clips and fucking with his life is comedy so the clippers rage is funny to laugh at

@PurpCat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy he has nice shoes and a bed? his parents should kick him out idk why they not done it yet.

@PurpCat @Morghur @beardalaxy @mwee should be making him go to some kind of gambling addiction therapy

@foxcat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy the only therapy he's going to is for drugs every time he pisses hotter than Chernobyl and they're clearly ill prepared to deal with someone loading up online gambling sites when he has phone access

@foxcat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy his dad found the crack pipe and smashed his bong when he was in prison

@PurpCat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy lmao

@foxcat @PurpCat @Morghur @mwee @beardalaxy
Here's an idea: they do their jobs as parents.

And you don't even know how badly he damaged his room. I still remember when he punched his drywall and he started to say that his hand was bleeding
