And I feel like that marked the end of his time in the public view.
I think that might be more of a coincidence. He had a look, and he had a persona, and he was great at Fortnite. But as Fortnite has waned in popularity, it was sure that Ninja would as well.
why would you keep doing your job once you get that much money lol, fuck that I'm retiring after the contract is over
Wow, I thought the days of streamers receiving huge contracts to join a platform were over. I’m sure having xQc streaming on Kick will be beneficial, but is it really $70 million beneficial? Facebook and Youtube have both paid a ton of money to get big streamers from twitch, but I don’t feel like that moved the needle much.
Kick seems to be getting more attention from streamers moving of their own accord than Facebook or Mixer did, at least. I doubt it'll go a lot better than Mixer in the long run, but it's at least better for everyone on Twitch if they have competition to worry about.
All those gambling addict's losses going straight into the multi-millionaire's pocket, fuck yea I love capitalism, let's race to the end faster with AI late stage buddies.
That’s insane, Kick must be desperate, wow.
They are run by a gambling company, basically one of the infinite money glitches irl. They just want to be able to advertise their gambling service and twitch hit them hard.
What does this have over twitch? Are they less uptight about rules etc?
The main point that always is brought up is allowing gambling/slot streaming, but yeah what you said is more or less on point (gambling gets brought up because of it direct ties to the owners/sponsors/investors with such sites).
So they're worse and just a way for those streamers to foster addiction and promote gambling to children? That's amazing
Truly scum business behavior.
So they're just kicking everyone in the balls and hoping coins fall out. Risky bet...
