Kick streamers consider leaving over CEO’s comments in a sex worker ‘prank’ stream “Where’s the mention that you two were hiding in the room? Creepy as fuck,” Repzion, another creator who streams on Kick, replied. “Did she consent to that? When she found that out, she left because she was uncomfortable. It’s shitty regardless.” Kick has lured disenchanted Twitch streamers away from the platform with non-exclusive streaming deals, light moderation and a coveted 95/5 revenue split. The platform is young, but its first year has been checkered with controversy — starting with its ties to a crypto gambling site also owned by Kick CEO Eddie Craven. The most recent scandal is a wake-up call for many of its streamers — especially women who question if the platform is safe for them at all. The platform addressed the incident in a public post earlier this week, affirming that community and public safety “cannot be compromised” in content creation. “We’re continuously learning where this balance sits and are making changes daily,” the post continued.

NBL Round 4: Creek pours in points as Phoenix swamp Sixers, CJ claims Kings didn’t look after DJ In his 300th game for Melbourne, Goulding delivered his trademark when he twice launched crucial bombs to help his team edge ahead in the dying stages of a tight contest. Goulding’s fade-away from the corner gave United a game-high nine-point lead with three minutes left as he finished with 4-of-5 shooting from distance. Advertisement “We can’t not talk about CG’s couple of threes down the stretch,” coach Dean Vickerman told reporters post-game. “They were pretty incredible.” Jo Lual-Acuil (16 points) and import Ian Clark (18) also came up with big plays in the final period as Melbourne outscored their opponents 33-25 with the game on the line. Lual-Acuil shone in his second game back from a long-term wrist injury, and Clark’s wide-open three restored United’s nine-point buffer with 38 seconds left to play. Such was Goulding’s confidence in his teammate, he turned around to celebrate the game-sealing bucket with the home crowd before Clark had even released his shot.
