Here is a list of all streamers that have joined or completely switched to the new streaming platform, Kick.
Growing a live-streaming platform might not be easy. But Kick, despite its controversial presence, has rapidly grown to become one of the biggest forces among the top live-streaming platforms.
Kick, backed by online casino, Stake.com, recently reached 100 million Hours Watched in a month, only a year since its launch. This could be courtesy of big streamers, mainly from Twitch, hopping on the Kick train and amassing a large pool of audience.
