HasanAbi, known for his progressive views and thoughtful analysis, responded to the streamer exodus to Kick. Expressing his thoughts during a live stream, HasanAbi acknowledged that streamers have the right to pursue financial opportunities and make choices that align with their own interests.
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.

BruceDropEmOff’s Comment:
BruceDropEmOff called out Pokimane and Hasan for their comments on streamers who opted to switch to Kick in a tweet that sparked controversy in the community. He emphasized the hypocrisy of multimillionaire streamers complaining about young broadcasters chasing similar possibilities on another platform while they themselves had previously inked lucrative deals with Twitch.
These well-known streamers had benefited from comparable deals, therefore BruceDropEmOff noted that their criticisms suddenly sounded incoherent. His remark sparked a heated debate among the streaming community.
