November 2, 2024 - In a recent interview, popular streamer DA KINZO offered some blunt advice for aspiring creators considering Kick.com. As streaming continues to grow, new platforms like Kick.com are trying to attract content creators with promises of better revenue splits and creative freedom. However, DA KINZO is urging up-and-coming streamers to think twice before committing.
"Kick's discovery tools just aren't there yet," he explained. "If you're starting from scratch, getting noticed on Kick.com can feel like talking to an empty room." DA KINZO pointed out that Kick.com, unlike other platforms, lacks features that help small channels reach new viewers. Without a built-in system to boost new creators, DA KINZO worries many will struggle to build their audience.
Technical stability is another major issue. "Kick still has a lot of bugs. Streams freeze, chat lags... these issues frustrate viewers and can ruin the vibe of a stream," he said. For new creators, every viewer counts, and these tech problems can drive away potential fans.
While Kick's higher revenue splits sound appealing, DA KINZO reminded creators that it's only helpful if they have a solid viewer base. "The numbers look good, but if there's no audience, those earnings don't add up," he explained. He feels Kick.com's current setup may give smaller creators false hope about immediate earnings.
DA KINZO's advice to new streamers is simple: keep your options open. "Kick could improve, and I hope it does, but for now, there are other platforms that offer more tools to help beginners grow," he said. His message is to choose a platform that can support growth from the ground up, even if that means looking beyond Kick.com.
With streaming options expanding, DA KINZO's words remind new creators to think carefully about where to start their journey.
