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.
Oh wow. Really? I didn't know that he is the founder of Kick as well. If this is true, I don't think Kick will have any financial issues in the future to keep it alive. I am not familiar with the Kick platform yet. But some streamers moved to kick and invite people to join their stream there. If Eddie founded Kick, I guess this would be the favorite streaming platform for gambling streamers!
Well, "founder" . They just bought Kick, they didn't create it.
Once Eddie got kicked out if Twitch they had to find a new place for the Saturday stream. They did it once on Kick and then moved to Dlive. Dlive though has a lot of delay and this wan't a long term solution so they bought kick and basically rebranded it.
These days the site is growing at a crazy speed, much faster than expected. I wish they would put that much effort to make a site traffic friendly to stake. Then it would run much smoother, especially on Saturdays.
I've been watching Eddie's stream since Twitch days until Kick, but I hadn't heard that they brought Kick. I had never heard of the Kick platform as a streaming platform until Eddie streamed on Kick.
Last time Eddie got an interview about asking him if they had an offer to Pokiname to stream on Kick.com. Pokiname declined the offer, possibly due to concerns about the long-term sustainability of the Kick platform. We all know that even if they didn't acquired Pokiname like what you said it is part of how they will grow the Kick (Publicity).
