Am I missing something or are these all just manufactured celebrities. Never seen any content. Tens of thousands of viewbots. Suspenda being the first Kick deal got me thinking about this Kick scam. Where the hell did Suspenda even come from?
Kick starts a Twitch competitor and the first 'deal' is for an English teacher living in Japan that has zero streaming background. Ice being friendly with this circle of friends also sets off red flags. Ice only surrounds himself with people 'more popular' then him if there's a scam to make money off.
At the end of the day it's probably just an unregulated gambling scam that Ice is milking for every penny before Eddie flees the country.

I SEE, YOURE FINALLY CATCHING ON TO THE BIPOC CUTE TWINK CONSPIRACY.
In all seriousness though, where all this money is coming from is beyond me. How do they have such massive amounts of money to support the launching of kick, million dollar contracts, the "crypto" funds they dispense on stake daily, and all the other marketing expenses. Mind you the streamers get 95% of tips, and the ads are mostly plug in for the parent company. Some risky business afoot.

Yea I agree. There is something nefarious going on here. Suspendas was paid around $250-$500k in Ethereum when he started streaming on Kick. Why though? I think that's a big indicator of a scam. Hyubsama another nobody. Ice introduces him to the stream and what do you know, he 'wins' $50k in the prison challenge.
All this money is exchanging hands but Ice was worried about a few hundred dollar Ihop bill celebrating the event. Another indicator the money isn't flowing like they want you to believe. That Neon guy is another key piece. I'd guess he's linked to someone majorly helping support this scam, it's just so blatant with the amount of viewbots used on his channel.

At first I thought Kick was just another classic pump the numbers, sell to Amazon, and they realize they just bought viewbots scam. Now I don't think that's the plan and I lean more towards utilizing crypto scam gains to build a competitor to Twitch with the only goal being to promote Stake. The US was set to crack down on crypto/gambling but it's a shitshow now so it seems it's still the wild west in crypto land.
Something that's not negative towards Kick is the fact that Ice is actually involving old cast members. I think if it was a serious pump and dump type scam Ice would not be involving wildcards so there is hope for those that want Kick to be a success.

As with any sinking ship there are those that drown and those that leave in safety on their escape vessels. I think the second theory is more plausible. You can still obfuscate tax money with crypto (etherium, btc, and more mainstream blockchains dont anonymize though) and still get away with it for now.
However, having a gambling site with crypto as the main currency seems iffy to me. With the server infrastructure and background mining through apps, they could devote resources to mining and still run their servers for other things. But that just makes it seem like a printing money bubble, where the coin is only stable as long as they manage circulation correctly. I wonder if the 50$ stake cashout has something to do with it? Pure conspiracy though. Im sure it wouldve been found out by the tech nerds already
