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.
Are you assuming that they do that or do you have some sort of proof to back it up? Kick is brand new and i haven't seen such claims about it. Only the fact that they pay 95% of revenue to streamers while twitch pays 50% Which makes me think that twitch can't survive this without adjusting their numbers. That would totally crash their future projections and i doubt they can afford it.
But amout that money, streaming and gambling industry is insanely big industries. They can afford things that seem unreal to normal people.
It seems like a good move for Stake. Streaming is growing quickly with favorable regulation but burning through cash. Gambling has tons of cash and a regulatory problem. If they can continue subsidizing Kick’s growth until it reaches profitability, there could be an unimaginably massive payoff in the end.
