[00:03] Peace be upon you. Today I've brought you a new video, and in this video, brothers, we'll talk about the Kik platform, or the platform that competes with Twitch. As we all know, brothers, Twitch has dominated the market for a long time. Literally, no new platform comes out without Twitch being better.

[00:17] this is changing. If you remember, many platforms, like Mixer, unfortunately didn't last. It was a competitor to Twitch, or even brothers, I honestly didn't like Noon Live

[00:30] from the beginning. And what's left is that Noon Live is currently worse than Bigo Live. The platform currently worse than Bigo Live. The platform has become unbelievably garbage. May this month be a good one for has become unbelievably garbage. May this month be a good one for everyone. Let's see this.

[00:52] Even recently, brothers, if someone was streaming, they only streamed on Twitch. But recently, they started streaming on TikTok, which was considered almost It's a competitor to Twitch, even though TikTok streams aren't as high-quality. But there are still people on TikTok, and if you ask anyone

[01:06] immediately say Twitch, and TikTok will be their second choice. However, recently, a new platform has emerged, and honestly, there's been a lot of it a gambling platform and asking how their money will be earned legally, even though I strongly disagree.

[01:21] Kik is engaging directly with content creators and is paying attention to all of them, including Arab content creators. This is a huge advantage for Kik. Meanwhile, Twitch hasn't been paying attention to Arab content creators, not to mention the percentage they take.

[01:35] If someone subscribes to Twitch, they take take 50% of the subscriber rate, while Kik only takes 5%, leaving you with 95%. So, if you get a subscriber and each one... These 100 people gave you five dollars for the subscription, so

[01:49] Twitch's percentage will be 50%. That means they'll split the 500 dollars with you, so you'll get 250 dollars and they'll get 250. But if we repeat the same equation, but with Kik's 5%, your net profit will be 475 dollars. Just look at the difference!

[02:08] This is the platform, guys. It's still in beta, and what I like about the trying their best to drown out Twitch, to the point that their Twitter account is mostly filled with Twitch memes, making fun of Twitch in any way they can and mocking the percentage they

[02:22] take from them. In fact, guys, even a few days ago, due to the pressure Twitch is under from them, Twitch officially announced their Partner Plus program, which gives you 70% of the subscription value, and they take the remaining 30%. And yet, Kik hasn't left them alone and is still making fun of them.

[02:36] [music], but the question here, guys, is should I continue on Twitch or switch to Kik? Honestly, this question can be divided into two categories. The first category is for streamers who are just starting out, and in my opinion, they should go straight to Kik. The reason,

[02:49] in short, is that this platform is still new, and your chances of success on new platforms are much stronger and greater than starting on established platforms like YouTube. You'll be able to gather more followers than on Twitch, and the financial support will be much better than on Twitch, especially

[03:03] regarding the subscribe button, which, as I mentioned, only allows you to take 5%. Also, what will make you start on Kik right away is that Kik takes care of you in terms of technical support, especially since their Discord server has Arabic language support, and they also have a Twitter account dedicated to

[03:15] the show. So, in short, your chances on Kik are greater than on Twitch in all the aspects I mentioned. It's true that it's a new platform and doesn't have a huge number of Arab content creators, but the platform is working. He signs contracts with big names to expand his reach in the Arabic commentary, like he

[03:27] signed contracts with Darbaha, Khuloudi 25, and Abdullah Eagle, and there are many more streamers who will switch to Kik to build a larger and larger Arabic fan base. As for the second group, those who stream on Twitch and are hesitant to move to Kik because they're

[03:39] I think this group also has a chance to succeed and earn a better income than on Twitch. For example, if your Twitch stream reaches 150 viewers and you get 200 subscribers per month, and after taking your 50% commission, your net profit would be around

[03:53] $500. But if you lose half your followers and your stream gets 75 half your followers and your stream gets 75 viewers, and you get 150 subscribers, your profit after taking Kik's 5% commission would be $712. Do you see the difference? Brothers,

[04:05] literally from a financial standpoint, there's no significant loss. On the contrary, you're making more money than on Twitch. And since it's a new platform, your chances of success are also higher than on Twitch. One success are also higher than on Twitch. One

[04:19] it's a gambling platform, and you can see this from the moment you log into Kik. However, I saw a video by a YouTuber named Drizzy, and in the video, he was talking to someone who works for the platform. This person is Arab, and his name is Tariq. Tariq clarified many points,

[04:32] including that the contracts we offer Arab streamers have no connection to the Stick platform. For those who do n't know, Stick is a gambling platform. It's only related to the number of hours the only related to the number of hours the streamer spends on the platform. So, when

[04:46] signing a contract, they might request that it include include Stick, which it does. But for example, the contracts for Arab streamers, or the official contracts for Arabs and others, are good. For instance... For example, Stick is included,

[05:03] others, are good. For instance... For example, Stick is included, right? It's not included, and everyone has their own contract with a good number of hours. The big players who have Stick contracts have contracts for sixty hours in advance because this is a Stage contract. This brings in something. Let's keep this

[05:19] something. Let's keep this information circulating: Stick is the platform that said from the beginning that Kick is the platform, and they also talked about this point. This was what also talked about this point. This was what they said: its revenue

[05:36] younger streamers, most of them, meaning 35% of the subscriptions come to you. It has nothing to do with the platform or the money from the platform, whether it 's from Stick Gambling or something else. It's not related to the

[05:51] contracts of the big streamers we talked about, their contracts also don't include Stick. Right, clear. [Music] But to cover up the Stick issue, that it's the Fulfind against Kick, this talk isn't true.

[06:05] Stick's 30%, the rest comes the rest comes from Alfa Romeo Formula 1 and other companies that have their own... so it's not Relying on the fact that it's a Kik art platform,

[06:20] I noticed today that some people are saying there are no more Kik casinos because they're no longer on Twitch. This isn't true. Anyone can go online and search for them; they'll find

[06:33] Anyone can go online and search for them; they'll find all the gay scenes. But these are in America, meaning

[06:45] [music], so they can collect taxes from them because they don't want to go and perform in America. So they created Kik.us, which is in America, not just for

[06:58] Americans. People in America are still on Twitch without any problem. Of course, this 30% point is what caused a lot of controversy. But let's be honest with each other, guys. We all know that Twitch supports LGBTQ+ people, and I expect that they also donate a

[07:13] portion of the 50% they take from subscription fees to LGBTQ+ people. Don't come and tell me that they only do it in a certain month, and that's when we close subscriptions. That's absolutely no excuse as long as the platform you're streaming on has stated its support. This category is one you shouldn't even be

[07:27] streaming on, because you know that part of the subscription money they claim to give you goes to homosexuals. The same applies to the Kik platform. The subscription money, which is supposed to be yours, is taken by them at a rate of five percent. I still don't know

[07:39] where they invest that five percent, or how they return it, or where they keep it. But if it turns out that they're using that 5% of your money for gambling or something else illegal, I'll simply unsubscribe. But right now,

[07:52] what's the best option for you as a streamer, especially financially? I'd say Kik is much better, especially regarding this issue. I know it's a bit complicated, but this issue. I know it's a bit complicated, but let me know what you think in the comments. That's all for now,

[08:06] find my Kik account in the description. Follow me there because I'll be streaming there a lot in the coming days. And most importantly, don't forget Press like, share the video everywhere, and subscribe if you're already subscribed. That's all, bye! the video everywhere, and subscribe if you're already subscribed. That's all, bye!
