The foundations of content creation on Twitch begin to shake with the sudden appearance of Kick, a platform traced to the home with ambition, initial signings and a lot, a lot of money. names like xqc, Amouranth, Brunenger y Grenheir They have taken the first step, and some with million-dollar contracts to pass the views to the green house.
Kick is the flag of the revolution. With a familiar interface, millions of dollars behind it, and various controversies, the home run by Trainwreck and Adin Ross defends a system whereby streamers get 95% of the profitsand that’s a far cry from the current profits of Twitch, YouTube, or any other current brand in streaming.
Kick has been on the lips of all the great content creators for a month and the definitive impulse was the contract of 100 million dollars to xqc just for broadcasting there. In fact, in his first direct he began to see one of Nolan’s Batman movies with complete freedom, and for the moment that is one of the strengths and at the same time weaknesses of the platform… because it is yet to be developed.
Beyond the origin related to gambling and crypto casinos, Kick has achieved in a very short time what Mixr could not do, align many viewers and streamers to open the season. Twitch has been limiting profits for quite some time because it maintains a monopoly on direct broadcasts due to the absence of a competitor, but things may change throughout 2023.
The Xokas and Auronplay, tempted by Kick
The case of Spanish-speaking streamers is even juicier because many of the protagonists are creating a daily novel about their possible signing by Kick. The Xokas and Auronplay are the two most relevant names in the spotlight from the green platform, and not a day goes by without one of them leaving a wink in their current streams on Twitch.
At times the live shows of both the Galician and the Catalan are a broadcast of the negotiations where Xokas asks for six figures and Auronplay plays three-way between Twitch, YouTube and Kick. Of course, it is not uncommon to imagine that the process is a pressure measure to get a more beneficial contract to wear purple for a few more seasons.
Other powerful names like IlloJuan They affirm that Auronplay and Xokas are the clearest profiles to pass to Kick, but he is clear about his decision: «I have very few principles, but the few that I have I maintain. I’m not going to leave, it seems like a very shady place to meis a site that is maintained by the largest crypto casino in the world«.
For his part, Ibai Llanos has also confessed to having a very particular alliance with Twitch due to a particularly beneficial contract for the Basque streamer, so he will not leave the purple. The one who has signed for Kick is Grenheira regular IRL streamer with hype success in the past year.
After a Twitch ban during Bellum, the streamer decided to sign a non-exclusive deal with Kick to be on both sites, and the numbers from his first stream are staggering. With more than 7,000 people live, he managed to add more than 130 subscriptions, thus gathering an unprecedented collection figure compared to his rivals: more than 600 euros in just a few hours.
I repeat, it is an outrage of three pairs of balls that with 130 subs you earn almost the Spanish minimum wage xdddd pic.twitter.com/l50Ykqglhm

Others as many as Coscu or Dr Disrespect have threatened to leave Twitch to go to Kick and thus recover the old benefits, something that has also moved the tree in the purple house to improve conditions. Either way, the future is bright with both purple and green, because healthy competition improves content, broadens ideas, and only benefits the streamers’ wallets for the viewer.
