27500 | 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. |

The company also removed Denino from the front page and featured category, which Bree, another Kick streamer, described as a “start.” Returning to Twitch isn’t an option for her, she said, because of the harassment she faced on the platform. |

“I understand consent was in fact given by the woman on stream, but the premise alone was bad enough for a site seemingly focused on gaming/creative content,” he said over DM. |

Bob acknowledged that the platform has had a string of controversies in its short existence — most recently, an offensive fake interview between white supremacist sympathizer Adin Ross, accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate and a Kim Jong Un impersonator — and that seeing Craven laughing at the sex worker was “more than enough to stamp out any hope that the platform intends to improve any of its policies.”

She began streaming full time when she had to step away from her esports coaching and hosting career for her health. Like many streamers who joined Twitch before its explosive pandemic growth, Kelly was offered a 70/30 revenue split. About a year ago, before Twitch axed the premium revenue deal, Kelly’s Twitch income was a little over $1,000 per month (up to $1,200 on a “really good month”) with over 700 paying subscribers. She supplemented her income with tips and OnlyFans subscriptions.
When the revenue split changes went into effect earlier this year, Kelly’s monthly income fell to about $400. Since she stopped prioritizing her Twitch channel, her monthly Twitch income hovers around $120. That prompted her to start streaming on Kick, where she said she makes over $1,000 per month with only 145 subscribers.
“That’s covering all of my rent and groceries and then like a night out with my boyfriend,” Kelly said in a call with TechCrunch. |

27542 | NBL Round 4: Creek pours in points as Phoenix swamp Sixers, CJ claims Kings didn’t look after DJ
Gun import Jordon Crawford has exploded late to lead the Tasmania JackJumpers to a club-record score in a 105-95 NBL road win over the defending champion Sydney Kings.
The American guard opened the final period at Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday with four consecutive three-pointers and scored all of his team’s points on a stunning 14-2 run.
It gave the JackJumpers a game-high 19-point lead and just about put the result to bed after Sydney had lost Jaylin Galloway (shoulder) and Jonah Bolden (fouled out).

The Kings never gave up but could not close the gap as Crawford finished with a game-high 32 points.
Fellow import Milton Doyle and Majok Deng each scored 17 for Tasmania, who recorded their second win over Sydney in as many attempts this season.
“I had a couple of opportunities where I’m open and I shot the ball,” Crawford said. |

Goulding had a quiet first half but drove daggers into the visitors at John Cain Arena on Sunday when he found range after the main break.
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.

“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. |
