Kick is a live-streaming platform where creators broadcast to audiences in real-time, competing with Twitch by offering creators a larger revenue share (95-5 split) and multistreaming capabilities. The platform is ad-free for viewers but hosts a wide variety of content with minimal content moderation, ranging from gaming to "just chatting" streams where conversation can become crude or adult-oriented.
