Popular content creator Asmongold has revealed that just two streams on Kick earned him more money than an entire month of streaming on Twitch with an eye-opening comparison that’s reigniting conversations about the future of livestreaming platforms. As one of the most influential names in gaming entertainment, Asmongold’s move and results could send ripples through the streaming world. Read on for the full details about what went down.
Kick, a relatively new platform backed by crypto gambling giant Stake, launched in late 2022 with bold ambitions to rival Twitch. Initially met with skepticism, Kick has since surprised many by quickly growing its user base and signing high-profile streamers through aggressive monetization strategies. The platform’s looser content restrictions and creator-friendly revenue splits have made it an appealing alternative.
Down below we have a tweet with the comparison of Asmon's earnings on Twitch vs Kick which shows what a large difference it is. These charts do not take into account subs though so that is also something to consider.
Asmongold recently joined Kick and shared his earnings comparison publicly. Between May 6 and June 4, he streamed almost 211 hours on Twitch and made about $32,371 through ads and subscriptions. In stark contrast, his first two streams on Kick, each lasting approximately six to seven hours, earned him $36,910 with $19,703 on June 2 and $17,207 on June 3 alone.
The side-by-side numbers shocked many in the community. Despite Twitch being the dominant streaming platform for years, Kick’s payout model appears to be tipping the scales for established creators. Asmongold himself expressed disbelief at the disparity, highlighting how such results might lead other streamers to reconsider where they spend their time.
The money is not the only reason Asmon has stated why he joined Kick though, he has also gone on the record said that he is not pleased with the way that moderation happens on the Twitch platform.
This isn’t an isolated case either. Last month in May 2025, Kick streamer Adin Ross revealed he made nearly $500,000 from just 16 streams in a month not counting subscriptions or sponsorships. Streamers like xQc and Amouranth have also praised Kick’s financial structure and creator-focused transparency.
Beyond payments, Kick is rapidly developing its platform with features like multistreaming support, allowing creators to broadcast on multiple platforms simultaneously. This is especially appealing for streamers looking to grow without abandoning established audiences on Twitch or YouTube.
As Kick continues to evolve, the platform’s openness, improved monetization, and willingness to collaborate with creators are challenging the status quo. With Asmongold’s recent success, all eyes are on which major streamer might jump next and how Twitch will respond to the growing pressure.
