Asmongold believes Kick is doing the ‘smartest thing’ to win over streamers
This tactic is the best move according to Asmon.
The controversy surrounding thenew Kick platformhas made its way into discussions across many streams and Asmongold’s is no different.
The massively popular internet personality recently applauded the company’s tactics in bringing streamers to their platform.
This came during arecent livestreamin which he was watchingLudwig “Ludwig” AhrendiscussAdin Ross and the potential of many other creators making the switch.
Asmongold thinks Kick is playing the game well
When Ludwig mentioned that it appeared the streaming platform would be offering nonexclusive contracts, Asmongold stated that this was “the smartest way for them to do it.”
He went on to explain that this allows them to siphon their audience from their previous platform onto the new one, something he says Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam and Adin Ross are already doing.
Giventhe company is also rumored to be talking to YouTube creators, it would essentially work the same for those streamers as well.
“They go live on Twitch for a couple of hours, they farm their notifications, they build up directory placement and then they go over to Kick,” he said.
When Ludwig then expressed his inability to see the endgame in this tactic, it seemed Asmon had already figured it out.
The creative streamer opened up the Windows Paint application where he placed two squares before placing an arrow showcasing that one box led to the other.
It became clear very quickly what he was implying once he wrote out the words Kick and Stake. Stake is the parent company behind the new competitor and a massive player in the world of online gambling.
The 32-year-old said it was really that simple. The idea of driving users to the streaming platform is that they are then funneled into the revenue generator which is gambling via Stake. After lots of backlash, Twitchcracked down on gambling in September 2022which made room for this new battle to take place.
No other large creators have officially stated their moving, and Felix “xQc” Lengyel evenrecently stated he has no plans toas of now. It’s worth mentioning he did leave the door open to the possibility in the future just in case.
