I was one of the people who stayed, after Eddie streamed his weekly gambling stream... and I watched his interview about Kick. This interview brought more questions than answers... for me.
I wonder where Kick gets $100 000 000 to pay for xQc, real name Felix Lengyel, to stream on Kick? How much funding flows from Stake.com to Kick.com? It cannot be feasible to jump start and funding Kick.com from gambling income and to neglect the gambling experience of Stake.com. We know Stake.com have many problems that needs to be fixed (Errors while claiming drops being one) ...and they are spending $100 Million on recruiting streamers.

That is how this stream industry operates, they cut the payment from other streamers and fund the popular names to bring more users on the new platform.
Eddie is also the founder of the Kick and he will do everything to keep Kick operational, IMO.
They don't want to fix the server issue for some reason.
