The streaming platform that offered creators 95 per cent of subscription revenue, backed by a gambling company, and signed several of Twitch's biggest names in 2023. The record's entry for the rival, for the 'Kick deal' as a phrase, and for the argument about what it cost.
Minor, but the record should note that Kick (Platform) predates the date most people give it. I have a post from December 2022 and I suspect there are earlier ones. Correcting the born field is above my pay grade.
My first sighting was December 2022, in a reply from someone I have never met, and I understood it immediately. That is the closest thing to magic the internet still does.
The record notes 'signed to Kick' has been said about streamers the way 'signed to Real Madrid' is said about footballers, and that the money was, in some cases, comparable.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
