Now adding to what xQc said, streamer Nickmercs in his debut Kick stream revealed another matter about Twitch. Neckmercs shared with his fans that although streamers generated a great amount of revenue through live streams, they were paid only monthly compensation. However, the whole chunk of money went to Twitch- “No, I am serious! Because you get a certain amount, it’s called an MG. But with on the Kick deal, I get all of my sh*t off of my dashboard. You know? It’s still the same appreciation but I am sure you guys can imagine, like, it’s a little bit different,”

Now Nickmerc’s recent statement surely confused fans about which streamer is giving authentic details about Twitch. Some fans believed that this difference in opinion might be because Twitch differentiated between the streamers. XQc’s comments on Pokimane revealed Twitch’s soft corner for a few streamers, which Nickmercs revealed in his recent stream on Kick. What do you think about these differentiated policies for employees in Twitch?
