Popular streamer and OnlyFans model Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa is hitting out at Twitch’s business model after announcing she would be moving to Kick. The streaming landscape has changed significantly in the last few months with Kick entering the fray to compete against Twitch and has signed some of the platform’s biggest names already. In a short time, Kick has managed to recruit some of the biggest names in streaming from xQc and BruceDropEmOff and now, most recently, hot tub streaming extraordinaire Amouranth.Article continues after ad Kick’s success has been partly rooted in Twitch’s own decisions too, such as implementing a 70/30 sub-split that only applies to 1000 streamers or new policies on branded content. According to Amouranth, where the site really fails is with its total addressable market. Figuring out a novel/better way to tie into Amazon’s rapidly growing as business (possibly not in twitch’s control) twitch decided to squeeze streamers even tho they will never be able to achieve profitability that way.Grow TAM or— Kaitlyn (@wildkait) June 19, 2023 Amouranth explains why Twitch “doesn’t succeed” In a lengthy thread on Twitter, Amouranth took to her personal account to blast the platform, stating that Twitch squeezing creators isn’t its “sin,”

Thousands of social media users are flocking to the video live-streaming platform Twitch for an audience with Jesus—or, well, a Jesus-like AI chatbot—and the chance to ask all sorts of questions, most of them related to relationships and gaming. Dubbed “AI Jesus”, the video chatbot digitally embodies the stereotype of a white Jesus Christ—a bearded, blonde, and blue-eyed man standing before a blur of glowing light. The algorithm behind the chatbot allows AI Jesus to speak in a calm, monotone voice when answering questions, as his mouth appears to lip-sync the words. AI Jesus, which is different from the “Jesus AI” text-based chatbot app, is back on Twitch after being temporarily suspended from the platform on June 15 for reasons that are, as yet, unclear. Quartz reached out to Twitch for comment. Since being reinstated on Twitch on June 16, it has attracted more than 40,000 followers at the time of writing.Quotable: What’s AI Jesus good for“Whether you’re seeking spiritual guidance, looking for a friend, or simply want someone to talk to, I’m here for you. Join me as on this journey through life and discover the power of faith, hope, and love.” The bio for the ask_jesus account on

Twitch has tried to save face by announcing a 70/30 sub revenue split after many streamers have called to boycott the platform. Now, it looks like the long-awaited 70/30 split is not even relevant to the majority of streamers on Twitch. For the past few years, content creators have demanded that Twitch change its 50/50 sub revenue split to 70/30 in favor of streamers. Giving up 50% of subscriber-based income has been a major source of controversy and concern for many streamers both large and small. Then the streaming platform also announced that it planned to limit branded content, which would further disrupt streamer income. This change led to many streamers calling for a Twitch boycott and saw many large streamers finally make a move to competing platforms like Kick. To save face, Twitch tweeted that it was going to give streamers their demanded 70/30 sub revenue split. But there are a a few catches. Most streamers won’t get 70/30 sub split on Twitch The 70/30 sub revenue split is for streamers that qualify for the Partner Plus program. But even streamers that meet those minimum requirements will only get paid out once they pass $100,000 in revenue, causing some

Twitch streamers are leaving the platform in their droves in favour of rival website Kick which is offering far more lucrative financial opportunities to their competitors. Kick, which is owned by online gambler Tyler ‘Trainwreck’ Niknam, who previously made his name on Twitch, is very similar in style and content that you would find on other streaming sites with gaming being a major source of entertainment on the website.However, unlike Twitch, gambling and more adult-themed content are more widely accepted on Kick, which was only launched in January 2023.Last month, two big streaming stars Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed both announced that they would be leaving Twitch to join Rumble, another streaming platform that is popular with political commentators. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletterNow the exodus of streamers from Twitch has continued with reportedly more than one million people joining Kick after the New York Times reported that the website had signed Félix 'xQc' Lengyel, one of the world's most popular streamers, for a $100 million deal.

Popular Twitch streamer xQc is leaving the platform for a lucrative new deal with a rival, marking the biggest exodus yet from the Amazon-owned site. The New York Times reported Félix Lengyel, a Canadian known online as xQc, is signing a two-year, nearly $70 million contract. Incentives could bump that to $100 million, according to his agent, Ryan Morrison. “This is more than most professional athletes and megastars,” Morrison said. “This is one of the highest deals in entertainment, period.” Lengyel, age 27, streams himself playing video games, keeping up a running chat with fans. He also hosts reality shows livestreamed to almost 12 million followers. He is considered by many to be Twitch’s most popular streamer. “Kick is allowing me to try and do things I haven’t been able to before,” Mr. Lengyel said in a statement. “I’m extremely excited to take this opportunity and maximize it into new creative and fresh ideas over coming years.” Twitch has been losing content creators who are not enamored with its policies and revenue cuts. Twitch modified its policy this week and changed what kind of ads its streamers can show during broadcasts.

Only Up is a “Jack and the Beanstalk” style game in which the main character climbs his way up a series of platforms.

Good News to Streamers With Twitch Fewer Followers: Partner Plus Twitch is preparing to give its streamers a strong incentive to grow their audience. Here are the details! Live streaming platform Twitch aims to launch a Partner Plus program that will increase the percentage of subscription revenues for publishers that meet the criteria it has set. The application, which concerns Twitch streamers with a small number of followers, will be valid if the streamers earn at least 350 paid subscriptions for three months. Twitch Will Give Smaller Streamers a Bigger Share of Subscriptions Partner Plus, which will be available on October 1, will be valid for the three months before the start date. The application, which will not perform any special trial version, will be available in all countries. The launch of the program comes months after Twitch’s discussion with Premium Partners. Speaking on the subject, CEO Dan Clancy stated in September that it will not affect 90 percent of the publishers involved and that increased advertising payments will help close the gap. With its project, Partner Plus aims to increase the income of broadcasters within Twitch and to keep them connected to the platform. The program, which concerns broadcasters making their first live broadcast

A horribly offensive, AI-generated version of Family Guy has made its way to YouTube & Kick, though it’s already banned on Twitch. Over the last few months, Artificial Intelligence has taken over the internet with various generative tools like Bing AI and Adobe Firefly. We’ve also seen AI-generated versions of popular tv shows like Seinfeld and SpongeBob SquarePants pop up on streaming platforms. The latest to join the fold is an AI parody of Family Guy, and it’s already banned on Twitch.Article continues after ad AI-generated Family Guy already banned on Twitch Created on June 7, 2023, The AI_Peter Twitch channel was hit with a ban sometime during their broadcast on June 14 according to Twitchtracker. When attempting to access the channel, it displays one of Twitch’s universal ban messages instead. “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” it reads. Twitch does not comment on account bans publicly, so the exact reason behind its removal is unknown.Article continues after ad We can safely say, however, that the parody Family Guy stream has been quite offensive since its launch with racist hate comments, potential bomb threats, doxxing, and more.Subscribe to our
