After dealing with lots of bad PR from terrible decisions, Twitch now has to deal with one of its biggest streamers moving to another platform, Kick, with a deal larger than those of most athletes

This is actually good. Twitch has become just as anti-consumer as Reddit ever since Mixer shut down.

Except Kick is run by crypto gambling site Stake

A big similarity being Twitch and Reddit don't create the content, they rely on users of the platform. Hope this becomes a message that users can't be expendable

Is it? Alternatives are always great but everyone is saying kick is shady.

But Kick is pretty shady itself.
