Hasan said in his stream “They’re so different now all of a sudden.” However, he found it peculiar that some streamers, who had once embraced such deals themselves, were now criticizing others for doing the same on Kick. HasanAbi emphasized that despite the financial success of Kick or its association with gambling platforms like Stake, his stance on the matter would remain unchanged. He agreed that streamers have the ability to explore career prospects and make decisions in line with their own interests.
This was in response to Pokimane criticizing xQc’s recent $100 million deal with Kick. While some people support her take, others are in staunch opposition.
