    I was there, Gandalf!

    Sam Peppers event has been great content for viewers, and total hell for Ice Poseidon and Kick, exactly as the gods intended. I hope they do this style event again, but who knows at this point.

    Marketing campaign seems to be on point because I hadn’t heard of Kick before this. Or the streamer. Or the contest.

      I think it’s a roundabout attempt to get us to wonder what the fuck Kick is. I’m not that curious.

        All you have to know is that when Twitch banned Gambling Streams, and some of the people who made bank on those streams started to complain about Twitch, a couple of guys behind large gambling sites decided to open their own streaming platform called “Kick” that gives a much better cut of advertising and allowed gambling streams, and got allot of bottom of the barrel (but not all of them) streamers, especially the ones who have been banned off of other services but were popular.

        Supposedly they have been getting better with their enforcement, and started getting better detection, but then their is all the stuff that comes with gambling too.

    You know when the streaming platform that is known for gambling and being the last refuge of streamers and D-List Celebs, along with a few people who don’t care about anything but the higher cut, has more class than you, even if it was scripted, or worse it was him paying her off because she was poor and homeless.

    3 day ban? I am sorry that should read 3 year ban.

    That’s hilarious. Even when Kick isn’t the one doing anything, there always seems to be drama surrounding it.

    FYI the title is misleading, it was apparently scripted and it doesn’t seem like Kick will be paying her $50k.

      It is one of its co-founders offering so it isn’t 100% clear either way where it is coming from.
