The "Kick 2.0" Blueprint: Favoritism, sus Metrics, and the Snake in the Grass
Iām not here to sugar-coat the reality of where this platform is headed. Itās time to call out the tactics currently being used to gatekeep growth and manipulate the narrative of success. Many creators already recognize these patterns of behavior-Iām just the one saying it out loud. here it goes...
Selective Pushing & The "Shadowban" Reality
The platform has devolved into a "selective group" system. Despite promoting this site off-site and bringing creators over since the early stages, Iāve been met with suppression.
The "Yes-Man" Requirement: Apparently, "going above and beyond" is only recognized if youāre sucking up to staff.
Rewarding Toxicity: Handing out kits to individuals who previously dogpiled this platform on X is a slap in the face to loyal creators.
The Pattern: I have the receipts. We are seeing a cycle where people trash the platform, flip-flop for perks, and then try to silence anyone who calls out their phony behavior with false reports.
If receiving a kit requires being a 'meat-glazer,' I don't want it. Keep it. I have morals, and I won't be a puppet for temporary silence. I wonāt be missing out on much anyway; I just thought it would be nice to use it for promotion. I guess this is a sign from God that this platform has no intention of recognizing the effort I put into promoting it. Iāll just keep doing me and posting on all the platforms Iām already on.
Manipulated Metrics & The "Oauth" Myth
Letās talk about the "sus" metrics. We are seeing creators return from two-year breaks to massive, highly manipulated numbers.
Transparency Issues: The claim that every viewer is a "signed-in" authorized user doesn't hold up. The math between follower counts and impressions isn't adding up.
Natural Order: In the real world, if you aren't active, your numbers fall. This platform is operating like a high school popularity contest where "real numbers" are a joke.
Botting Culture: Buying bots to boost a platform didn't work for Kick, and it won't work here. You can't fake legitimacy forever.
The "Family Friendly" Contradiction
Itās a joke to call this platform "family-friendly" when:
Adult content is ignored while original art and active streamers are suppressed.
AI and troll videos are pushed down while actual creators that post family friendly content are shadowbanned.
Corporate Silence: Staff give dismissive, corporate answers or stay silent ignore my message when i try educated them what i have witness and know or everyone know it because they know the truth is being told they think that will go unnoticed. WRONG!
The Bottom Line
I am not a sheep. Many "Phase" creators learned their lesson from the Kick days-they aren't going to waste time sucking up to a new platform that will discard them the moment they aren't needed.
As of May 2026, X has approximately 570M to 611M monthly active users. You cannot compete with that reach by buying fake sign-ins and rewarding sycophants. Big "name-brand" creators like Myron Gaines or Adin Ross stay on X because that is where the audience is. People see the red flags from the outside. They aren't going to leave X for a "Club" that suppresses free speech and plays favorites. Because that is real cancer for any platform that how quickly your will lose creator and sight of reality as platform and your ruin your integrity.
A Message to the Real Creators
To those who refuse to play the game and are being suppressed because of it: I see you.
Donāt follow the sheep; be the shepherd.
Never settle for people who take you for granted.
Keep your eggs in different baskets.
You will never gain respect in the streaming world by being a clout-chaser for a few measly dollars. We are the ones with morals who donāt need fake validation. Stay true to yourselves. And i love you all. I am there for you if need me. i am just one club post away comment on any post of mine to reach me and i will come be there for you.
NOW lets switch to topic and educated CLUB staff like kiron and thoes staff fell for this snake old tricks since he think this beyond and above and pushing club and bijan or Eddie or any club team and some creator on club this how he feel about yall. And yet he play the herror and want you support him on club as he saying this about you all on his X

The Receipt: Addressing the "Snake in the Grass" š
Iām tired of seeing this snake insert himself into places where he isnāt wanted or welcomed by creators. The only people backing him are his minions, who stay glazing his toxicity and his hate toward Phase creators and well-known staff like Santamaria or BigE. Heās playing both sides. Itās time to talk about the individual who spent years trashing the Kick platform and its staff on X, only to flip-flop the second a few perks and 'kits' were dangled in front of them.
The 'Joker' Cycle Weāve seen this pattern over and over again. From DLive and Mixer to the early days of Kick and even now here the pattern is identical:
Step 1: Dogpile the platform and harass the creators. saying if he didnt get approve and there same group since he coward dont drop name but well all know he talking about phase class creators. MmKAy ... lets move to....
Step 2: Cry "victim" on X to get attention. "The moment someone all his shitty behavior and he calling its out of context when we just reshare his own public post. lol Get fuck out of here dumb bitch...
Step 3: Flip-flop and become a "yes-man" the moment staff offers a handout.
Step 4: Repeat when the perks stop. Going back This club is dogshit platform blah blah blah... WATCH and see when club stop showing him attention. This classic narcissistic thejoker. I know him like book!
Fake Loyalties & Real Receipts
Staff might be falling for the "temporary phony of his," but those of us who have been here since day one haven't forgotten. I have an insane amount of receipts of this person talking absolute crap about Santamaria, BigE, and the Phase creators behind closed doors.
"Shay, drop names please." as Santamaria always says it on streams, and honestly? The names don't even need to be dropped anymore because the behavior is so loud.
This isn't about 'going beyon and above '-itās about a narcissistic opportunist got his teeth hook on club team already. Trying to turn connections against each other. Attempting to DM my circle to turn them against me? Nice try. My friends arenāt stupid; they see the clout-chasing and theyāve seen the 1v1 receipts.
The Club team like hiron needs to learn this lesson. They could easily ask Santamaria about his experience-the constant harassment and slander heās dealt with from this same guy. Now that insert himself where is is disliked by so many only his minions he bring over which they all about drama and toxic behavior and shit talk about creators.
He is actively DMing staff at Kick and Club about me, thinking I donāt see exactly what heās doing. To the Club team: when he finally turns on you, don't expect an apology from me. This is one of those 'this won't age well' situations for you.
"Youāre going to have to lay in that bed since you refused to listen to my warnings."
His track record speaks for itself: Blacklisted fromHe was booted from Parti for telling one of his minions to use ChatGPT to generate a long, fake post praising him and giving him credit for helping the platform. Help them? LMAO, he helped them die as a platform. Everywhere he goes, he ruins the environment. He is like a cancer- a disease that destroys everything it touches. He was removed from the KKP on Kick for viewbotting and constantly slandering both the staff and Phase creators. He even stooped so low as to use my 2023 Rumble partner email to play mind games and try to make Kick jealous. I let him cuz i felt sorry for him at the time.
The pattern is right there. I know some will say 'people change,' but not this narcissistic opportunist. He can try to wear a suit and act professional, Heās the definition of a snake. You can feed it, give it a warm place to stay, and treat it like a 'kitten', but at the end of the day, itās still a snake- and itās eventually going to bite the hand that fed it. Just ask the teams at DLive or Kick; they learned that the hard way. He is the same person who was blacklisted from DLive and booted from Parti. He was removed from the KKP for viewbotting, and 2024 year heās sucked up his way back into Kickās good graces,
Heās starting the viewbotting up all over again, even though he hasn't even been active on Kick. He is still the same snake, hissing at every blade of grass he crosses. He never has anything nice to say about the Kick team-who are co-founders of the Club-so he has already been spreading negativity about this platform.
Iāve included a screenshot of it here.
This was sent to me by someone who wants to remain anonymous because they donāt want to deal with harassment or the death threats his minions constantly send to anyone who calls him out. I, however, know exactly how to deal with narcissistic individuals like him, and I fear no one. I have receipts far more damaging than the ones Iām showing now-content that I think Rumble would be very interested in seeing. This wasn't even that long ago.
He only flip-flopped the second you dangled that approval and the club kit in front of his face.
So i will answer your reply since i could say this on club and i know am already supressed by shadowbanned on club and me call out u will shut that down quickly. My answer to you kiron this image get to you or read this maybe you also know the truth too. "Kiron, is this the 'content' youāre rewarding? Here are the receipts. This clown was dogpiling the Club and questioning staff preference until the second he was dangled a checkmark. Club kit
He didn't bring value; he brought toxicity, claim the phase are getting approved beause they are creator on here. then switched up the moment he got a perk. If this is what you consider 'pushing the club,' youāre being played. Iāve been here promoting this platform with integrity and actual brought streamers on the platform maybe you should talk more or check the support chats from me on club. Also ask henry or richard or danny how many time i have told be look out for creator that i brought in to club they have apply for creator. while he was on X calling it a favoritism-fest on regarding about approved and thoes whom getting tip from club. Now heās the one being rewarded? this in your book is going and beyond. That clown switches his phony opinions faster than a toddler changes their socks after jumping in a puddle.

The Corporate Blind Spot
The fact that this behavior is being rewarded while active, original creators are being suppressed is the real joke. Staff is handing out kits to someone who would go back to trashing the 'Club' tomorrow the second the money dries up.
Donāt mistake my critique for saying the Club sucks; Iāve never said there is no hope. I am providing constructive criticism because Iāve seen this exact behavior before. Since the co-founders and many staff members from Kick have their hands in the Club, I am giving this warning because I donāt want to see this platform take the same path to failure. I am nothing like him.
I am direct, transparent, and brutally honest. Even if I hadnāt been approved, I would still be saying the same thing. Iām addressing the behavior I already see on Club. Kiron, in your book, you call this 'pushing the club' and 'going above and beyond.' In reality, this person has done nothing but be negative, only to flip-flop the moment you dangled a perk in front of him.
That isnāt genuine; heās only doing it for tips and favors. The second the support or the attention from Club stops, he will go right back to dogpiling. This is the same guy who has gone back and forth for over four years on Kick. He has a 'me, me, me' attitude and is so bitter that he isn't part of Phase that he threw a whole tantrum, slandering Santamaria and the Phase creators in the process
To the staff: Youāre rewarding a "meat glazer" who switches phony opinions faster than they change their socks. Youāre not buying loyalty are you? If you are. This not going last when you switch your support to new creator that came and you stop that support.
He is a 'nobody' who starts drama and spreads toxicity on every platform he joins. Clearly, as the narcissistic opportunist he is, heās already sunk his teeth your skin in DMs and emails saying all me me and making fake promise.. I think itās time you pulled that snakeās fangs out of your skin before the venom spreads
Heās telling you in the DMs, 'Oh, Iāll bring people over.' Let me break it down for you: he has been hard-stuck at 10k followers for years. He started buying followers on X to slowly make his growth look 'real.' I did the research with Grok, and even Grok confirmed his numbers are super suspicious. After years of being stuck, his numbers suddenly increased right when he started promising to bring creators. Like who? The people he harasses in dms try convince them come to rumble? Heās promising Tate or Fresh & Fit or sneako oradin ross which he already are on club or the creator i already know and connect with? Please. I already DMād them the moment I signed up-long before launch and before he even noticed the Club. Trust me, if they come, it won't be because of him, theyāre already aware of the platform. He promises to bring Rumble creators who were cancelled for a reason-many of them are predators and viewbotters. Thatās why Rumble is known as a home for 'outcast' and problematic creators whom don't have any value or actual real audience like the creator i already reach out and in my friend group that i mod for. You want him bring toxicty none family friendly creator from rumble? that dont have actual real viewership and people like whiz clown minions whom bot his follower and accuse people on kick botting to deflect his own botting. Which one is promise is that he telling you in dms or email? the only viewbotter are thejoker and whiz. they both know how to code and they been brag about on live streams. also in my dms ;)

To the creators: Donāt be a sheep. Donāt fall for the clout-chasing or some snake in grass. Or if they accusing your to viewbot when you aren't These "cool kid" games have no place in a professional streaming world. If you have to sell your soul for a few measly dollars and a verified badge, youāve already lost.
Stay real, stay loud, and keep your eggs in different baskets. āļø I love you all, real ones. Donāt allow a snake in the Club; always call it out when you see it. Donāt let these clowns ruin the Club for all of us. They might have their teeth in the staff's skin for now, but remember: it won't age well. At least weāll be able to say, 'I told you so.'

Iāll end this post on this note. The reason Iām addressing what I see is that I truly hope the Club changes the path it's taking. They shouldnāt be rewarding people like that clown. My goal isn't to say the Club is bad; I just don't want to see them repeat the same mistakes Kick did, because it wonāt end well. If they donāt change, everything Iāve said will go unnoticed until itās too late. Favoritism and shadowbanning are a cancer-it has never worked for any platform that has tried it.

If I didnāt give a damn about this platform, I wouldn't be sitting here writing a blog and addressing this publicly. I believe in the Club, which is why itās sad to see the same patterns from Kick and X-shadowbanning people and then denying it when the public can see it plain as day. I have been direct with Henrik (the co-founder and CEO) because I want them to be successful the right way. I don't want them to repeat the mistakes that caused other platforms to fail.
Especially now, with other platforms like Own in the making, the competition for X and the other big players will be brutal. If another platform offers true free speech, creators will lean toward it every time. As a creator, I know exactly what we want.
The solution is for them just allow people have free speech and stop flag Ai content even if political its satire but allow onlyfans adult content even its behind paywall. Quickly a platform will Tarnish their integrity and be seen as onlyfans 2.0 All X creator hate that X allow porn. Just do better club! Learn from platform mistake. Even in beta phase repeat kick behavior wont help you. Thats all coming from good place. ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»ć»

And here is Richard.
Best Club staff ever: https://club.com/richard. Here is why... he was my first follower from the Club team and my first real sub supporter. Heās always shown love, and Iām the type of person who never forgets those who have been there for me. Heās kind, he doesn't have an ego, and he doesn't ignore people-I truly admire that about him. I hope he never changes. I am taurus let that sink in. We never forget we always stay loyal to thoes whom been real ones from day one.
This man is doing the hard work of handling payouts all by himself. Honestly, I feel bad for him because itās an insane amount of work for just one man handle all that. He needs a raise!
Hey Henrik, Bijan, and Eddie-give this man a raise! Go subscribe and follow him to show support so he can keep doing what he does. If you have questions about payouts, he is the man to ask. He handles payouts specifically, so don't bother him with other stuff-he doesn't post like the rest of the team, but if you tag him in a post, he usually replies. Not all heroes wear capes.
