Reminds me of when Mixer signed Ninja over to that streaming service. Let's see if Kick sticks around.
Not that Twitch chat is a flawless representation of a streamer’s overall value, but just being in XQC’s chat it’s wild how many people are actually engaged and chatting. It seems like a lot of people there are only there for X.
On the flip side I remember times going into Ninja’s (same with Shroud) where there’s 30k viewers or something nuts but the chat might be scrolling slower than a mid-sized streamer’s. Just seems like more people will actually go to Kick (less professional, more “go wild”) than in the former cases with Mixer (more corporate, professional). Just my opinion tho - no bias here
