Kick Takes a 3-Word Sly Dig at Twitch Boss After He Releases Statement to Reconsiders Giving Permanently Banned Streamers “Another Chance”

Even the smallest of weapons can do the required damage! The streaming platform Twitch’s arch nemesis just implemented the tactics for a hilarious 3-word dig. In the world of social media warfare, there’s no rivalry that stays off the trending charts in the gaming industry. And with the iconic pair of Twitch and Kick, the internet is always divided. In a similar episode, a small conversation between the platforms grabbed the community’s attention.

The ongoing year of 2023 has been a completely polar ride for both streaming platforms. While one has witnessed exceptional growth in numbers, the other has been through a bumpy roller coaster ride. Well, not to mention, fans attribute a lot of Kick’s recent turnaround to Twitch itself. Thus, the streak of their social media wars is never-ending. But this time, Kick seems to have produced a knockout punch! 

Kick has a sarcastic reaction to the Twitch Boss’ plans 

Recently, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy made some intriguing revelations in an interview. The Twitch chief illustrated the next planned roadmap of the platform in the highly heated up competition with the constantly rising popularity of Kick. This included an address to the most often asked query which is about the converting permabans. For context, there are a lot of streamers that are currently permabanned from the Amazon-owned platform. These include streaming icons like IShowSpeed, Adin Ross, and many more. 

The CEO had a rather exciting response this time. “This is an area that we are looking at to figure out what’s the right way to give people another chance. The tricky thing is, you need to do this in a scalable way… Whenever you talk about one specific example, one specific person, but people forget that we need to have a similar opportunity for that affiliate that had five concurrent viewers that did it, as we do for these big streamers.”

The source shared the information on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption, “Twitch CEO says they’re open to giving permabanned streamers another chance.” As the tweet began getting the attention of the streaming community, Kick came up with a perfectly sassy reply. 

Considering the recent history of the rivalry, the words “Too late chief” do seem like a hard burn. 

Revisiting the turning point of the rivalry

The classic rivalry of Twitch and Kick was dominated by the Amazon platform for a long while. But a lot changed with some allegedly unacceptable strategies Twitch tried to implement on the platform. The platform has lost the majority of its traffic to competitors like Kick during the last few months. 

Many well-known figures in the community have criticized Twitch’s new policies as being unfair to the creators. After the backlash, it forced the site to issue a statement outlining the rules. Then it said that the subsequent upgrades would be delayed. Although the new policy announcement was sufficient to persuade several well-known figures to leave Twitch. 

And that’s how the tables turned in the favor of Kick. Evidently, the Twitch rival is enjoying the throne, but for how long? Do you think it’s indeed too late for Twitch to redeem itself?
