Summary
In a remarkable display of gratitude, Kick’s CEO, the streaming platform introduced just shy of a year ago, bestowed Adin Ross, formerly aTwitchpersonality, with a luxurious Rolls-Royce for his birthday. Kick, aspiring to become a serious contender in the streaming industry, aims to challengeTwitch, the leading platform in the space.
For those who may not be aware, Kick was launched late last year with the promise of providing content creators with greater creative freedom and offering substantially higher payouts to its streamers compared to Twitch. Initially, many skeptics doubted whether Kick could make a significant impact in the rapidly evolving world of streaming. However,Kick’s growing popularityseems to be proving them wrong. While smaller streamers are drawn to Kick due to its superior payouts, many prominent streamers have made the switch to Kick, citing Twitch’s strict community guidelines and the attractive deals offered by Kick to build a dedicated audience.
One notable streamer who made theswitch from Twitch to Kick earlier this year was Adin Ross. It’s worth noting that Adin Ross was among the first to join Kick, playing a pivotal role in driving a substantial portion of viewership traffic through captivating streams. While the exact terms of Adin Ross’s deal remain undisclosed, it’s evident that Kick’s ownership is quite pleased with him. In a significant moment during a recent stream, a blindfolded Ross was guided into a garage and presented with the keys to a brand-new Rolls-Royce as a birthday gift, a gesture from Kick’s team, including their CEO, Eddie Craven.
Adin Ross’s astonishment was palpable when he removed his blindfold and saw the luxurious gift. After Craven extended birthday wishes, Ross, who in Augustgot swatted while streaming on Kick, couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at his previous platform, quipping, “Twitch would never.” He spent the next moments expressing his overwhelming surprise at the generous gesture from Kick.
While only time will reveal which streaming platform will dominate the streaming world in the coming years, Kick is currently making significant strides in attracting top-tier streamers. In June, Kick sealed an astonishing 100 million dollar deal with one of Twitch’s leading streamers, xQc. Furthermore, Amouranth, one of Twitch’s prominent female streamers, is also streaming on Kick, although the financial details of her contract remain undisclosed. In addition, a few months ago, Adin Ross mentioned thatYouTuber IShowSpeed and Twitch star Kai Cenat were each offered 40 million dollars, although they ultimately declined the offer.
