Kick streamer accuses platform of view botting: \u201cviewer count doesn\u2019t mean sh*t\u201d KickYouTuber and streamer CodyRiffs has accused Kick of view botting, claiming the \u201cviewer count doesn\u2019t mean sh*t.\u201d Launched in late 2022, Kick is slowly but surely taking over the live-streaming world. Offering an impressive split when it comes to sub revenue \u2013 with creators getting a much larger 95% cut on Kick compared to Twitch\u2019s 50% \u2014 it\u2019s no wonder streamers are switching platforms. Nevertheless, as a new platform, Kick has its fair share of problems to still work out. Namely, users have blasted the lack of moderation on the site, allowing the use of racism and inappropriate language. Streamers are now once more hitting out at Kick, accusing the platform of view-botting. Twitch streamer accuses Kick of view botting In a video uploaded on April 7, Twitch streamer and YouTuber CodyRiffs detailed his experience as a content creator trying out Kick for the first time. While the streamer described Kick as a literal \u201ctrainwreck\u201d \u2014 he also noted how the platform \u201creeks\u201d of view botting. \u201cI was immediately impressed by the amount of viewers I had right away on my first kick stream,\u201d said Cody. \u201cI was less impressed later on when I found out the viewer count on Kick doesn\u2019t mean sh*t. \u201cThe whole site reeks of viewer botting, but it was a nice feeling while it lasted.\u201d The streamer continued: \u201cIt\u2019s just a little suspicious when I see people streaming to two to three thousand people, and there are only three people chatting.\u201d Timestamp at 3:43 Other creators have also had similar experiences, with Kick streamer Triggzy, who has 100 followers on the platform, explaining his viewer count randomly jumped higher. \u201cHappened the other night to me. I average about 15-20 on Kick right now, but I had 44 out of nowhere,\u201d the streamer said. Creators have earned \u201clife-changing\u201d amounts of money thus far from streaming Kick. As it stands, the platform is yet to respond to the allegations, but we\u2019ll be sure to keep you updated if they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
