[00:01] on Kick, the best thing you can do is take it easy. I see a lot of people excitedly switching to the green platform and abandoning what they might have built on Twitch.
[00:20] released some new rules and is becoming a bit stricter when it comes to streaming on this platform. And it's not like I'm defending Twist, of course not. I don't even have a super channel with thousands of followers, but I
[00:36] think you have to take it slow. You can't just keep confusing your followers, telling them, "Let's go here, it's much better than Twist, there are no rules, you get a free percentage," and blah blah blah, painting a picture of all the
[00:51] cool things. "I'm going there, friends!" Right now, it might all sound great, friends!" Right now, it might all sound great, but nothing is that easy or that free. And there will come a time when, if the Kick platform takes
[01:06] off—which I think is fantastic—I assure you, friends, the rules and conditions will change. So it's not a bad idea to start thinking about it. Take a look and try out its tools—what it can and ca n't do, how
[01:20] optimized the mobile app is— in short, there are many things to consider before making the switch, and whether it's truly worthwhile. I 'm not saying you should switch here, but you should be
[01:34] careful. If you're a small streamer, you're not going to rise to fame quickly unless you have a large community. On other platforms, Kick is obviously
[01:46] generating a lot of interest in the entire streaming community. And of course, it's attracting attention with those intensives they're offering, but remember, friends, that all this good stuff doesn't always live up to expectations. This whole
[02:01] saga of new platforms is nothing new. Let's remember when Trovo came out and the heyday of Facebook Gaming. These platforms aren't the best, and they
[02:13] end up at the bottom. Let's be honest, friends, but Twitch is still the best streaming platform. It's solid and has all the tools to stream whatever you want.
[02:31] very solid platform: because they take their work very seriously. For example, now... You can't go live smoking e-cigarettes and all that stuff. At that moment, Cell felt true terror because
[02:47] we, as creators and friends, are role models for others, especially for minors who want to be like their favorite YouTubers. To conclude, it seems many are unconcerned about the
[03:00] financial system or the numbers, rather than about creating a loyal community that distinguishes them from other creators. No business thrives on offering so many good things; the rules change, and then, as El Chavo del Ocho says,
[03:16] the repentant dog returns. Well, friends, I just wanted to offer a I just wanted to offer a humble personal opinion on this topic that's causing such a stir here on YouTube between Twitch and Kick.
[03:31] I want you to consider this reflection as a point of view and open our minds a little more to see want to know what you think of this reflection; you can leave it in the
