KICK aspires to match the acquisition proposal made by Jimmy ‘MrBeast‘ Donaldson regarding TikTok, emphasizing that they are equally serious about their intentions.
The prospect of TikTok continuing operations in the U.S. has faced uncertainty for some time now. Initially, certain states such as Montana were contemplating a full ban within their jurisdiction. Yet, these discussions have escalated to a more comprehensive, nationwide scope.
In April 2024, President Joe Biden signed a law threatening to prohibit TikTok in the United States if ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, failed to sell its shares in the platform. However, as of now, the Chinese have not complied, and the app is scheduled for closure on January 19.
Despite ByteDance not expressing interest in selling, there are several contenders vying for the opportunity. Among them are Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, popular YouTuber MrBeast, and more recently, KICK has expressed interest.
KICK interested in TikTok
In the beginning, the stakeholder-supported live streaming service proposed joining forces with MrBeast’s scheme, suggesting a possible name change to TikTok-like platform, which they referred to as KickTok.
In response to the YouTuber’s assertion that he is serious about his intentions and receiving backing from billionaires, KICK has made a comparable statement. Following MrBeast’s video, the platform wrote on Twitter: “We are too.

Apart from announcing their business, the Australian firm also released a ‘letter of intent to buy’. They cheekily commented, “@MrBeast, I got there first!
Some fans speculated that this might be a playful jest, considering the page count was the often-referenced number 69.
beat you to it @MrBeast

In another scenario, there was a different line of inquiry. One user posed the following query: “Are you planning to acquire TikTok instead of console streaming?” To which KICK responded, “Indeed, this matter is crucial and needs immediate attention.” (or more casually, “Yeah, this is significant, Nate. Priorities please.”)
It appears that ByteDance has shown reluctance to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations to investors, suggesting that a potential closure may become inevitable.
Here’s a simpler and more conversational way of expressing the same information: After an occurrence, the app will no longer be available on mobile marketplaces, and users won’t have the ability to view its content. Instead, they’ll be directed to a page explaining the ban.
It’s important to note that bypassing the ban with a VPN service, which is a type of private network, might result in severe consequences as well.
