djWHEAT slams Kick streaming platform as a \u201csham\u201d djWHEATFormer Director of Creator Development at Twitch Marcus \u201cdjWHEAT\u201d Graham roasted the new streaming platform from streamer Trainwreck, called Kick. djWHEAT used to be one of the biggest voices inside Twitch, serving as a Director of Creator Development for 11 years. Since stepping away from the company in January 2022, Graham still comments on various happenings in the streaming world including even bashing his previous employer in the process. Now, Wheat is back in the news, this time for blasting the brand-new streaming site Kick. djWHEAT roasts Kick as a \u201csham\u201d of a streaming platform On December 6, it was revealed that Kick, promoted by streamer Trainwreck, is connected to Stake.com despite not publicly making the connection clear. Wheat then chimed in on the controversy by hitting out at the platform. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of sh*t in my 23 years of internet broadcasting. I can say confidently that kick.com is a sham. I can\u2019t sit idly by and watch nonsense be thrown out into the world as a beacon of hope for creators.\u201d He continued, \u201cTrain\u2019s Twitlonger has so many conflicting statements and elements that anyone with platform experience in this space would look at and go, \u2018that makes no f*cking sense.\u2019 I\u2019m all for chasing your dreams, but I\u2019m not ok with letting creators be the collateral damage.\u201d Graham proposed a few questions about the site that \u201cdon\u2019t add up\u201d including, \u201cWhy would a crypto gambling site fund\/back\/launch their own live-streaming service?\u201d and \u201cHow does that actually equate to \u201ccreator first?\u201d Wheat doesn\u2019t believe Kick has any right to be a popular streaming platform, and called the lack of transparency about the website\u2019s relationship to Stake \u201ctroubling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
