As a long-time Twitch viewer and streamer, I’ve witnessed the ebb and flow of various platforms vying for the streaming throne. From Facebook Gaming to Mixer, DLive, and now KICK, each has promised a revolution, but only KICK seems to be making a dent in Twitch’s dominance.
Recently, KICK has experienced a significant surge in new registrations, coinciding with several contentious issues on Twitch. Despite being up against the Amazon-controlled platform, they’re persistently striving for supremacy.
Over time, numerous competitors have aimed to dethrone Twitch. Platforms like Facebook Gaming, Mixer, and DLive have attempted to lure popular streamers with substantial financial incentives, hoping to nab a piece of the market currently dominated by Twitch (the Amazon-owned platform).
As an enthusiastic follower, I can’t help but notice the emerging challenge: KICK is making waves and, although it stumbled initially, it’s causing a ripple in Twitch’s reign. The allure of gambling opportunities has been a significant draw for KICK, but even Twitch isn’t immune to controversies. These incidents have nudged streamers towards at least considering the Stake-backed platform as an alternative.
Over the past month, with Twitch implementing new rules that angered VTubers and restricted certain areas from registration, there’s been a surge in new sign-ups for KICK.
This month has been extraordinarily successful for Kick as a platform. Following the recent Twitch controversy, there’s been over a 40% increase in new sign-ups, and streamer @WestCOL had an unbelievable peak of 1,417,574 viewers during his stream,” tweeted KICK streamer Big E.
I’ve been absolutely thrilled with Kick these days! The platform has seen a staggering increase in sign-ups following the recent Twitch drama, clocking in at over 40%. To add to that excitement, streamer WestCOL had an unbelievable stream with a peak of 1,417,574 viewers. To top it all off, Kick has announced weekly payouts for verified streamers, which feels like a game-changer!

The streamer emphasized that although KICK has experienced growth, there’s still a significant journey ahead. “I recall hearing skeptics claim ‘it won’t make it past 6 months,’ but look at us now, over two years on and it’s still thriving,” he explained. “There’s a lot more I hope to see, but the positive trend, or the green wave, persists.
KICK also assures more substantial updates to the platform are on the horizon. In their plans, they’re developing a “KICK Coin” or digital currency, enabling viewers to earn money simply by watching their preferred broadcasters.
Additionally, they have established new guidelines tailored for VTubers, following Twitch’s stricter policies. This move is expected to attract some of that content onto their platform.
It’s not just KICK who is concerned about Twitch’s potential decline. According to Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski, it’s likely that Amazon may either sell off or close down Twitch within the upcoming years.
