Alright, I’ve been observing and processing the recent landing page & algorithm changes on @kick and monitoring its effects on my *music* channel over the past few weeks, and the categories I stream in (live dj/live music) and I must say it’s disappointing. How am I a music creator but none of the music categories are presented to me when I scroll through the main Kick landing page? None of the categories that are presented to me mimic my consumer behaviour as I do not watch those. I’m not even talking about the front page carousel feature: I’m literally not even getting suggested anything that has to do with music overall on the landing page (see video below). Music channels including mine seem to have been tossed to the side. I get that business-wise, streaming platforms need to push the categories with the most industry hype, but Music is literally part of everyone’s life and Music channels are respectfully featured on most of the other main streaming platforms out there…it’s a huge missed opportunity of discovery and expansion to see it being dropped out of people’s Kick landing page as well as a huge setback for those who stream Music on Kick. Sharing my thoughts in hopes for further adjustments, resolution and growth.
