    Kick was made using the Twitch source code leak, so their backends are very similar. I’m not sure about Kick’s monitization, but if you’re doing them for fun, then it may not matter.

    If you’re doing it for money, then using them for making footage for youtube may be a better strategy (double dipping kinda)

    I heard Kick was infested with Nazis? Idk, i never heard of any mainstream streamers on there before XQC moved, and I’m not a juicer so, shrug

      I don’t know if it’s Nazis specifically, but I’ve heard that initial rules were very loose and they still kind of are. So it sounds believable.

        The guy who I won’t name who was a holocaust denier and open neo-nazi seems to have moved on to a different platform. I don’t know about other content creators on the site.

        In addition to aforementioned PeerTube, there is Owncast. These two are neat if you want to do it for fun with a few people and are technically inclined. Otherwise for streaming YouTube is probably the better way to go. Kick is unproven at the moment and Twitch is… Twitch.

          Anyone know of instances allowing signups for uploading videos that enforce some content rules? I’ve been trying to find a place on peertube to host some of my favorite videos from reddit

          I dont want to link people to a server hosting mostly nsfw or gore or something though. Since peertube is still underground its got some fringe groups
