xQc says Kick streams are already \u201cmuch better\u201d than Twitch xQc\/TwitchStreaming star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has given Kick one mighty advantage over Twitch as he believes the Stake-backed platform has the \u201cbetter\u201d streams. When Kick first popped up in the early part of 2022, it was clear that it was going to challenge Twitch before long. The Stake-backed platform has enticed streamers with their 95-5 revenue splits and giving them more freedom when it comes to the content they stream. They\u2019ve made a few big splashes too, signing streamers like xQc, Hikaru, and Adin Ross to massive contracts. A few of these deals, including both xQc and Hikaru, are non-exclusive, which means streamers can split their time between both Twitch and Kick without any worries. Since signing his reported $100m deal, xQc has been starting his streams on Twitch, before going to Kick a few hours before he ultimately wraps up. So, he\u2019s gotten some insight into the differences between the two platforms. xQc believes Kick is already \u201cbetter\u201d than Twitch for one big reason The Kick vs Twitch debate has, naturally, popped up a few times during his streams, but during his August 1 broadcast, the former Overwatch League star decided to give some major props to the newer platform. \u201cKick is just better. I enjoy just chilling with chat and doing this s*it,\u201d xQc said. \u201cAt the end of the day when it comes down to actual freedom, this is much better. That\u2019s just the way it is. \u201cI\u2019ve streamed on Twitch forever and I was under a massive contract for four years, ok, and I\u2019ll be honest with you dude, here I feel like I can just sit down and actually talk to chat \u2013 and that\u2019s a massive f*cking W. That is more therapeutic than anybody I\u2019m going to pay $1000 an hour to talk about my f*cking problems.\u201d The fact that he streams later in the day and gets fewer viewers on Kick compared to Twitch, might have something to do with why xQc finds it a bit more chilled out. Kick hasn\u2019t signed any big streamers since him, but they are on the look out for more. On top of that, the platform has continued to make waves off the internet too, becoming one of the sponsors for Premier League club Everton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
