Trainwreck says Kick will never pull same \u201cbulls*it\u201d as Twitch amid controversy Twitch\/TrainwreckstvTrainwreck has claimed that Kick would not pull the same \u201cbulls*it\u201d as Twitch amid the controversy over the Amazon-owned platform\u2019s planned changes around branded content. Over the last few years, a few streaming platforms have tried to compete with Twitch and muscle in on their standing as the top livestreaming website around. Though, plenty have failed. Kick, the Stake-backed platform, is the latest challenger to the throne, and has already picked off a few streamers from Twitch. There have been rumors of more creators making the switch, especially in the wake of the plans to change guidelines around branded content. On June 6, Twitch announced \u2013 and subsequently backed down on \u2013 an idea to change their guidelines so streamers could only dedicate 3% of the screen size to adverts and similar branding. Train tells streamers to join Kick amid Twitch controversy That didn\u2019t go down well with many streamers, including the likes of Asmongold, who threatened to seek out a non-exclusive deal and leave Twitch if it went through. Well, with Twitch coming under fire, Train was given the perfect opportunity to promote Kick and urged streamers to make the switch over to his platform. \u201cAs the third largest owner of Kick, I promise we will never touch your sub revenue, I promise that we will not pull any of this bulls*it Twitch is pulling,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cWE, AS STREAMERS MAKE THE PLATFORM, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, TWITCH GOT IT TWISTED.\u201d Train also responded to a number of streamers who had been vocal in their criticism of Twitch\u2019s plans, telling them to \u201csign up\u201d on Kick as he was getting quite a few verified and set up with a sub button. It remains to be seen if there will, actually, be an exodus from Twitch over this, but the Amazon-owned platform has already apologized and will apparently be \u201creevaluating\u201d the idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
