We've been listening to the feedback that is going around on socials, and what we've heard when Ed and I have been live on KICK Talk - so I wanted to give everyone an update on what we've done about it.
First one was that we weren't featuring enough people and the front page was a little too static and sticky for creators that were featured for extended periods of time. Our feature team has pushed hard on this, working with our account management and partnerships teams, and we've now featured over 3,000 creators over the last two weeks.
Second was around our homegrown and loyal creators. The ones who've been grinding with us for ages but haven't quite hit the metrics to get partnered and monetised. We went through the data (and jumped in a lot of chats) and we're partnering over 100 creators immediately. If that includes you, you'll be getting an email from us over the next 24 hours.
We know it's not a perfect science and data can't drive all decisions so if you feel like you should have been included and have been rocking with us for years? Send your pitch to [email protected] and tell us how and why you meet the criteria we mentioned on KICK Talk. We're talking 2-3 years streaming on KICK and close to achieving partner, but if you're not quite there we may be able to help with that final push. OGs deserve to be acknowledged by the platforms they helped build.
Speaking of creators who've been with us through the whole journey, we're currently designing an OG Streamer Badge that will be rolled out to our most consistent and loyal streamers who've been here since near the start of KICK. We haven't locked in a name yet, so we want your help. Drop your best name ideas below.
Please keep the feedback coming. It helps us improve and shapes what we work on next, so keep it honest and keep it coming.
September was a big one for KICK. VOD downloads, Roku, Events Hub, Levelling 2.0, Reserved Accounts, 2x channel points and plenty more. The devs are working as hard as ever. October's next 💚
Wanted to discuss KPP because we owe it to you to be transparent and clear on what's happened. We've had issues, backpaid, and amended how we calculate KPP.
KICK exists for the creators and their communities, so always hold us accountable. More inside.
🚀 August went kinda crazy at @kick ; wait til September post to see even crazier items (p.s who is liking the GTA RP section!?)🚀
Here's what went live on KICK last month.
For streamers:
- Streaming Calendar - creators can schedule upcoming streams, which viewers can see directly on their channel
- Active chatter count - see how many viewers are engaging in the chat, not just watching
- Unban requests - viewers can now submit requests on web and mobile
- Revenue tooltips for creators in the Streamer Dashboard
For viewers:
- Edit your profile on the mobile app - avatar, handle and bio
- Streaks and Daily Rewards - track how consistently you show up by claiming daily rewards that add to your overall streak
- Hover over chat to slow it down so nothing gets missed
- Share engagement badges to other socials
- 11 new languages - Belarusian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Mongolian, Romanian and Slovak (what other languages should we do next?)
- Help Centre refresh with updates for streamers and viewers (these look cleannnn)
- Channel Points - earn by subscribing or following and by sending Kicks
Still some room in the product and engineering space for additional wins (so pls drop some ideas') but between now and 27' we are going to continue to push out great update after great update.
Replying to @henrikpohlmann
@henrikpohlmann and team have done a great job with the app; been playing around on it a little too much.
A more personal side of me now lives over on "@Ethan" at the CLUB.
Building out who I follow there. Who should I add?
Really proud of this one 🙏
One of the proudest things that we do amongst so many others is knowing that when communities form and support creators - we have built something that rewards the creators.
Here’s to processing millions and billions more for the community.
GG
I’ve got my wardrobe in the background of my stream 😭 and want to get my setup a bit better.
Pc and peripherals are great, but who can drop me ideas on what to put in the background and maybe one of those cool signs - am in australia so something that I can reasonably get here would be good.
All help appreciated 🙏
The Team cooking already in August (updates already, but more below) on ideas straight from the community.
channel points reward slots went from 15 to 50 (what ones are the best?)
also..
you can see how many active chatters are in your chat now
hover mode for chats moving too fast
unban requests on web
profile editing on mobile
revenue timestamps show your local time
cleaner stream info
that's it - more to come and will keep the updates flowing.
Been seeing clips of saturday all over my timeline and had so much fun; easily the best part of my job.
Went live for the first time this weekend. Ed and I spent most of it gifting subs to creators across the platform. Best way to understand the product is to use it, one of the things I'm often running around the office saying.
Same day, 50 engineers were at a hackathon we ran in Melbourne pitching product ideas. Some of those will end up on the platform
That capped off one of the biggest months we've had at KICK. Browser go live, live captions, roku app, chat upgrades you asked for, updating our collectibles, plus around 30 things that aren't visible but give you more stability on the platform.
So much of this comes straight from the community telling us what you want next. best feedback loop in streaming here at KICK and we will keep listening.
We've signed off on the roadmap for August, but left a little room. What else should we change or add?
This is probably my most watched category by a long shot.
Unfortunately for me, I've got a few friends up against each other in the tournament; but will be locked in for it.
GL to all; and looking forward to the banter.
I’m looking for circa ten community sourced emojis that we can add to the rewards for KICK.
Post your emojis that you think should be added to the collectibles and there will be some KICKs up for grabs for these and the most creative ones!
Props if you create these and post them here and please add your KICK handle so I can send some KICKS around as well 🙏
If you see one you like, throw them a heart or a W comment pls
Never been easier to go live.
First we dropped the one button on mobile, and now it’s even on web.
Check the below and give us some feedback.
Even more to come in this Only on KICK series 🙏
Few changes below and yesterday we dropped the active chatters list, and if you go in to chat settings now you can change width, spacing of messages and how your chat looks/feels relative to the video
More to come !
I see a lot of streamer data in my job at Kick. But data doesn’t catch everyone.
So, 50,000 Kicks for small and medium streamers. And I’m not picking who gets it. You’re going to help me 🙏.
Drop a channel in the replies. Yours or someone you rate. Tell me why. The names that keep coming up get the Kicks.
I read everything. Go.
