Jynxzi revealed that he had high hopes for the Stake-backed platform, especially after they signed contracts with some of the biggest names in the industry including Adin Ross and Felix "xQc". However, the Breakout Streamer of the Year lamented the path content creators on the website took, saying:
"At first, I thought Kick was interesting because obviously, they signed Adin, xQc, Bruce, Rage, all in a span of a couple of months. So I am like, 'Bro, maybe it will go down that route.' Then it just went down the IRL streaming route of, like, the worst thing you can imagine, like literally."
