@DubPolice0@RealLadyBanan Yea, they said they are turning all that off this week. I think in regards to raids, thats different as your ending your stream anyway. The idea is that no one can see your viewcount while your live so theres no incentive to bot. When you raid, it dont matter, stream has ended.
@The_Joker@crashoverride They say they will be removing viewcount API later this week... but we will see. I think it will always be accessable somehow, but how far wil people really go to find it. The average joe wont bother looking.
KICK have now introduced a new glabal badge where you can showcase your chat rank. Lets get chatting guys and flex your rank in chats - add it within your 'identity' section in streams.
GGs @StakeEddie@Svntvmvriv@kick - you guys are cooking with some great updates
As someone currently in one of these 'contraversial' subathons... I say, if your community support it and they know the rules, then thats all that matters. Don't like it, thats cool... dont support it. If anything, people will just call it something different. A sub-with-breaks-a-thon' - same thing, just slightly different rules.
In my case, my community have supported the event and want me to take care of myself so I can provide them with the best content I can. I do way more hours than I usually do but yes, I take breaks away from the PC to spend with my family. I like being married ๐
@AngelInvestorOG@StakeEddie@kick I dont believe so... but things may change on that. People have asked this before and Kick are keen to try do things differently but they are not completely against the idea. I wouldnt expect it as part of the early implementation.
For those who are worrying and making assumptions about the recent Ads which have been shown on kick. Here is everything you need to know.
I have been on kick for over 3 years and @StakeEddie has always said ads will eventually come to @kick and when they do, they will be done differently and in a way where streamers have control.
Today Eddie confirmed that recent 'in house ads' are being tested so they can collate data to be able to sell ads. The plan has not changed and when KICK get ads, the streamers will be in control. He also goes on to explain that advertisers want to be intrusive... they want full screen, unskipable ads and KICK will look to find a balance.
I want KICK to succeed, to do that, they need to make money long term. I am happy to see ads come to the platform but 100% agree the streamer needs the control to if and when the ads are ran including what type. I believe KICK will set the new standard with ads on streaming platforms.
@Svntvmvriv For me, it looks clunky. Looks like its soneones stream as its so big. I love the chat but the stream takes up 80% of my stream. I originally thought my screen resolution was broke and I was back on Windows98
Kick just sent 10,000 viewers over $100,000 worth of KICK's as a small thank you for being at the heart of our communities and weโre going to keep doing this every single week.
Being the best platform for streamers matters, but being the best platform for viewers matters just as much.
The people who show up every day to support creators, clip moments, chat, watch streams and build communities are what make Kick special.
Each week 10,000 โtop viewersโ are selected based on positive community signals as a way for us to give back to the people who help make streaming communities thrive.
@King_MillsTV@kick Ive had this section for a couple if months. 50%-ish seems to be streamers I follow with another 50% being streamers of all diff sizes playing games I usually follow
@kick Ive had this for a couple months now. Love it. Id say 50% of the 'For You' section is usually streamers I watch often and another 50% of streamers (of all sizes) playing the kind of games I usually watch
@Suckaa@Rush_Eazy@StakeEddie@kick Yea, Facebook had a silimarvthing, you got diff event badges like if you sent stars in winter you would get a winter star badge. Would br coolm
@Rush_Eazy@Suckaa@StakeEddie@kick Alternatively, most bots already do this to a degree. Botrix has watchtome, followage and levels. Lumia has a whole new achievemt system where viewers get loads of achievements.. would be cool to have it built in to kick though
