With the fresh livestreaming service Kick gaining more viewers and features, many Twitch streamers have migrated to the platform, including the one that ran over a dog on stream. Just as many Twitch livestreamers have jumped to YouTube to reach a new audience or gain more subscriber revenue, Kick is getting some familiar faces with what it offers the content creator, but fans may not have anticipated this controversial personality.
Back in February, Polish Twitch streamer Sidneuke was permabanned from the platform for livestreaming while driving, including the heartbreaking moment in which she ran over a dog. Before this viral Twitch moment, Sidneuke had mentioned that there were several dogs in the area, but she proceeded to drive while looking at her phone in what was a clear moment of distracted driving. Due to the Twitch permaban that Sidneuke has received, she's branched out to the new platform Kick which has blown up in popularity due to other personalities that have already made the transition.
Sidneuke has already gone live on Kick and may be broadcasting again in the near future as her saved livestreams go back to a Witcher 3 livestream in February, with the most recent one being on March 29. The former Twitch streamer has currently garnered 133 followers on Kick, and she's primarily in the Just Chatting category or is playing The Binding of Isaac or the aforementioned CD Projekt Red title. Unlike her older content, the Kick channel doesn't include any Twitch driving streams which is content that some others dabble in and could be something that she's trying to avoid after the controversy that got her permanently banned from the Amazon livestreaming platform.
Because Kick rarely bans people despite some sharing content that would be inappropriate on Twitch, streamers like Sidneuke may have more assurance that they won't suddenly lose access to their audiences and revenue. Kick was famously spearheaded by popular streamer Trainwrecks who garnered a large portion of his following through gambling, content which was eventually banned on Twitch. Unlike on Twitch where she was likely only getting 50% of her subscriber revenue, Sidneuke will earn a whopping 95% on Kick which even outdoes YouTube's appealing 70% which has helped entice some content creators to stream on the Google website.
Though Sidneuke has stated that the dog she ran over in the past was okay, and she's in touch with the owner, the situation has been unclear since it happened beyond the permaban that she incurred. Popular Twitch streamer Adin Ross has maintained his sizable following in migrating over to Kick, which may bode well for other livestreamers like Sidneuke who still may have former audience members that haven't visited Kick yet.
