I see so many people doing a "Partner Push" on Twitch recently, and I am just so, so worried for those folks.
I hope they are ready for the aftermath if reaching their goal.
Something we care deeply about: discovery on Kick should be earned, not gamed.
We're further rolling out tools to combat viewer inflation:
- You can now hide your viewer count.
- Categories will be driven by our recommendation engine, meaning real engagement & communities determine who gets discovered.
- Further KPP reductions for creators found view botting.
Great content wins at Kick.
I’ve been a content creator on Twitch for over 5 years and no matter what I do super niched down or variety I’ve NEVER consistently hit 30+ average viewers.
I’ve always been told I “have what it takes,” but honestly… I don’t know anymore.
Is it me? The algorithm? A mix of both?
Ooooooooooof.
“Wanted to lower the Barrier”
Great job helping people to take the easy way out. 🤣🤣
Don’t learn how to Draw or Animate!
Don’t learn to a new skill like Editing!
Don’t MAKE OR DO ANYTHING.
Just let AI do everything for you and let us reap the benefits. 😍😍
Hi everyone. We’d like to address the recent discussion around the AI video contest, and first of all, we’re sorry for upsetting players with this event. We’re also sorry that we didn’t communicate with everyone clearly enough before the event started.
Our original goal was to lower the barrier to creation. In past contests, we saw players with great ideas and scripts who couldn’t fully bring them to life because they weren’t familiar with tools like editing, modeling, or animation software. We hoped AI could be a more accessible tool that lets more people take part.
That said, we understand the concerns around AI content. We are not trying to dismiss handmade work or disrespect creators. To us, AI is just another tool. What we truly care about is the idea, the expression, and the final work.
We’d like to leave the next step up to the community. Please vote on what we should do:
1. Cancel the AI video contest
2. Change it into a non-AI creation contest
3. Keep the AI category and add a separate handmade category
If you have another suggestion outside of these three options, please feel free to share it as well.
Thank you.

A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy:
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts.
Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it harms the creator ecosystem overall. However, effectively combatting viewbotting is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time detection algorithms, viewbotting companies quickly respond with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are appropriately counted.
Today, we’re introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks. For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer’s CCV for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces. The cap will be based upon historical data regarding that creator’s non-viewbotted traffic. Repeated violations will result in longer penalties. Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied, along with the duration of the penalty, and can appeal through the appeals portal.
While streamers will be notified, we will not make a follow-on announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements, and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied. Unfortunately, providing details simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions.
We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting. We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time.

bro you're a such fake give-uper i saw you persevere time and time again even when you thought there was nothing worth fighting for. i'm proud of you bro. i truly believe in you.
Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation. The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves. Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube's TOS very strictly, blurring out all inapproriate language and sensitive topics. Could you please help in recovering my accounts?
