@TeaGuyTom Not many metrics surprise me nowadays - being a number nerd myself but this is a crazy statistic.
Majority of your viewership being back in the livingroom is so fascinating. You made it to the bigscreen brother :)

Big thank you to @Rustafied, @playrustreddit, @Moose_GG, @RustopiaServers and @RustoriaServers for donating VIPs and @FcpnchStds for donating VIPs for our giveaways.
@Lukester07 Super cool item. The biggest barrier to making "bonus items" in pvp worth running out with is convenience. (Why I never roam healing teas.)
I would say cloth in the crafting cost so you can just toss the honey jars down under bench and queue up on your way out.
@Protox0 Any insight as to why?
I didn't get the opportunity to try this in beta but the concept seems phenomenal. Gmod is already one of the greatest sandbox spaces ever designed and this seems like it's natural sucessor.
Where's the hype?
@SerWinterGaming This evolution of your style is super refreshing and the content is great. Not every day you see someone successfully shift their entire format like this. Great job brother the vids are bangers.
Hey everyone — I’m making this post to help out a friend who would never ask for help herself.
Lady Oreo recently moved to a new state and bought her first home. It should’ve been a really exciting step, but instead she got hit with major plumbing issues almost immediately, which ended up costing a lot more than expected and wiped her savings.
She’s been trying to handle everything on her own (as she always does), but I convinced her to at least set up a Throne wishlist with some basic things she still needs to properly settle into her home, for example, an ACTUAL BED.

If you’re able to help, even something small makes a difference. There’s also a raffle running through her page, so if you do contribute you might get something back as well.
And if you can’t help financially, sharing this post honestly helps just as much.
Let’s help her turn a rough start into something better ❤️
@Protox0 Love the consistent poking around and sharing with the community brother. You're the only one providing updates at this frequency so you fill a cool niche. Keep it up 🫡
100M is a fun milestone and I’m proud of how far our team has come. But ultimately it’s a vanity as we aren’t where we need to or should be. The truth is we haven’t removed the beta tag from our logo for this reason.
When we launched Kick, we rushed to market. We knew the opportunity was there and we went for it. But the reality is we shipped with weak plumbing, purchased tech and lacked experience in streaming. We’ve spent the better part of three years paying for that, quietly rebuilding from the ground up while trying to keep the lights on and the platform growing at the same time.
That work is almost done. The foundation and team is more solid now. And that means we can finally start moving with the force and direction this platform deserves.
We know our app sucks, we’ve got it to a point where it’s almost crash free but the experience is weak. We are taking our time to rebuild this fully native from the ground up and I have been personally involved in this project to ensure its success. Don’t worry we aren’t going to pull a twitch here and full tiktokify.
On the creator side we ended all our Saudi level contracts that gave us short term growth and buzz at the expense of longevity and good content. We’ve vastly improved our unit economics while steadily growing viewership and it’s allowed us to invest in steady growth of our kick partners via clipping and KPP.
We’ve removed and rejected thousands of accounts from KPP over the past few months for viewbotting and system abuse. We’ve deleted tens of millions of fake spam accounts.
Our next step is to correct the system so real creators with real communities will not have to compete against bots or rely on staff favoritism for discovery.
We’re actively rolling out our V1 algorithm (10% of users so far) that will make Kick the best long form streaming platform for authentic engagement and discovery.
We have started rolling out ads but you may have not even noticed because we are doing our best to make it as non-obtrusive as possible. It’s our commitment to find ways to make this a sustainable business without extracting from our streamers and user experience.
100M users on a broken foundation was the hard part. For what comes next we’re ready and more motivated than ever. @StakeEddie and I have invested close to $1b into this because we are insanely passionate about this business and believe in the future of streaming. We’re determined to see this through 👊🏽
@Protox0 This is crazy. I literally just fired up a new machine 5 days ago. I've adopted a super minimal policy when it comes to software installs due to how often the download pages and/or executables are being compromised and on my checklist when I got to HWMonitor I passed it. Lucky ig
@ArtOfPilgrim This is sick. Also idk if this was you but all the new boxes have a really REALLY nice aesthetic and feel really cohesive with the Rust gameworld. Some of the nicest assets I've seen in a minute.
