A friend of mine wants to start streaming on his down time in hopes to earn some extra income. I know a bit about audio and have some graphics design skills so I am helping him set up a channel but he is not should which platform to go with. I know you can stream on both at the same time but he wants one to be his main place and the other to host the video stream as a secondary viewing platform. Does anyone here know about the platforms?

They have very strict guidelines and because of the moderation teams in charge, they will abuse their powers if they deem you to be a certain way politically. Even if your content is not political at all. So there is always a risk there for that. And they also are heavy on censorship. Kick is a bit more forgiving. They won't punish you over politics and they allow for more "outrageous" content but you can still face suspensions and punishment for something you may have show, said, or what your chat has said even if it was by mistake. One you didn't mention was Rumble. That is the most forgiving and they don't censor a whole lot. I would say it has the least risk but it also has the least reward. It might be worth building up a community on Twitch and streaming to both other platforms.

I don't know if this is just for streamers or people that chat as well but by default, the setting is set to opt in. So it is worth putting that out there for people that don't want to be used to train their systems.

A lot of people don't want AI stuff. And these companies just keep forcing it on people. I think this is going to backfire. Like on Amazon for example, that stupid AI that pops up to the side when searching around... It has made me so mad that I have shopped elsewhere 5 times now. I am considering canceling Prime over it.I will probably move away from Twitch too. Thanks for the heads up.
