🔥MESSAGE TO KICK STAFF & ADMINS (at the top of the blog post, loud and clear)

💬 Message to Kick Staff: Let’s Talk

To the Kick team- mods, admins, whoever's pulling the strings behind the curtain:

This is bigger than hurt feelings. This is about suppression, favoritism, and the open secret of viewbotting that you continue to ignore while punishing creators like me who speak up. You removed my achievement milestones with zero explanation, while others- some of them literal cheaters-got to keep theirs. I've submitted reports, evidence, screenshots, logs, all the receipts. And what did I get? NPC copy-paste replies and silence.

I’ve been with Kick since 2022. Day one. Built everything from the ground up. No bots. No shortcuts. Just pure hustle. But lately, it’s felt like I’ve got a target on my back just for calling things out.

Let me say it straight: this ain’t just negligence. This personal.

Support tickets go nowhere. The same biased staff respond every time. I've got logs. I've got timelines. If needed, I’ll leak it all. My support were ignored. Viewbotters I reported are still verified and thriving-some of them literally shown using bot software on stream. Nothing happened.

If your idea of “creator support” is brushing real problems under the rug and punishing the ones speaking truth? Then maybe it’s time people know what’s really going on behind the green logo.

📝 The Blog Post: "The Mask Is Off: My Truth as a Day-One Kick Creator

I didn’t want to write this. I wanted to believe in Kick. I wanted this platform to be different. But when silence becomes suffocation, the only thing left to do is speak louder.

I've been on Kick since 2022. Day one. I didn't migrate from Twitch or follow a wave-I was part of the tide that helped this place rise. From scratch, with no bots, no help, no clout handed down. Just community, consistency, and hours of unpaid work.

So when I say I’ve been suppressed by this platform, I don’t say it lightly.

🎯 What Happened to Me

Out of nowhere, Kick removed all my achievement milestones-without reason. These weren’t just stats. They were proof of the grind. And guess what? Other streamers? They got to keep theirs. I talked to multiple people on kick . Their metrics carried over just fine.

So why me?

It’s impossible not to feel targeted. Especially when botters are getting checkmarks and platforms like mine-organic, honest, loyal-are being stripped down. Especially when people like Gloria, openly boot up viewbotting software live on Twitch and only plafrom whom took action while kick rewards her, and still walk into Kick with open arms and full support. Make it make sense. and many other people swatbest (botting just get verified since his boys got like that) peteycottonmouth, lilskamlive etc... and petey and lilskam yet verified through that botting even kick knows about this and fully aware their metric is based on lies.

🚨 The Viewbot Epidemic

Let’s talk about PeteyCottonmouth, Swatbest, and the army of botted chat accounts they ride in on. The same clowns who brag in Discord about running alt accounts and restreaming people’s content to weaponize it against them. I banned Swatbest for harassment and suddenly? My viewership tanked. He cried in Discord. Then? Viewbot attacks.

And Kick? I gave you everything-screenshots, logs, timestamps. What did I get? i am happy leak all support have with kick and so people can see how actual kick staff acting.

"We’ve forwarded this to the correct team.”

Weeks passed. Months. Those same botted accounts? Still active. Still protected. The ones doing the dirty work? Still verified. Still on front page. Still untouched.

🥀 Where’s the Accountability?

I watched Kick grow. I stayed loyal while others laughed it off as a Twitch knockoff. I believed in KCIP, in the dream of a platform where creators actually mattered.

Instead, what I found was:

Admins messaging mostly female streamers privately, encouraging them to apply for verification. if they mention their name which Andrew you guilty of doing yourself. lets not deny that.

Verification given not based on merit, but on social circles—a Discord fast-pass system.

Botters openly thriving while those reporting them get ghosted.

I’ve seen names like TheJoker flip-flop, break every rule, slander other creators, get removed from KCIP, and still walk away verified. You know what would've happened if I did that? I'd be banned before I could blink. if did half shit most these mf has pulled. But yet i am getting suppressed and you guys remove all my hard work milestone and its time everyone knows this how you treated your OG from 2022 THAT getting robbed daily basic.

🧩 Let’s Be Honest: It’s a Rigged System

I've seen the inner circles. The favoritism. The bias. Verified accounts that don't stream, that have fewer followers than me on their social media most botted followers on IG and they get verified, still got the badge. Why? Because they knew someone. Or because someone on staff liked eddie or you andrew aka santamaria.

There’s even a public website by Whiz built on kick API, showing who's clearly viewbotting. You can't even say it's speculation—it’s data. And still, you do nothing.

So no- this isn’t “drama.” This is a culture problem.

💔 To Other Creators: This Could Happen to You

If you're on Kick and you think staying quiet will protect you? Think again. The second you speak out, you become a threat. Your numbers dip. Your reports disappear into a void. Your milestones vanish.

That’s what happened to me.

And if you think I’m bitter? Nah. I’m awake. There’s a difference. i was robbed since day one and still getting robbed as people walk on kick and get verified without earn it or people not even active streamers.

💀 Kick’s Soul for Sale? wanna eat shit to get shit.

Is that really how you want to be remembered- as a creator who sold their soul just to sleep well at night, robbing from others while hoping the same never happens to you?

That’s not the legacy of a real one. That’s the path to irrelevance. You’ll fall into the void, forgotten. Because no one respects a narcissist who stood silent while others were wronged- just because you had a checkmark and a KCIP badge.

If that’s your stance, then may God bless your soul- because karma’s got a perfect memory.

God will remember the creator who stood by and said nothing while others were robbed of what they earned through loyalty, grind, and integrity. You may be thriving now, but that spotlight fades fast—especially when people realize you never once stood up for what’s right. You never challenged the system. You just played your part and kept your mouth shut.

When that happens? You're no better than the platforms we all left behind- Rumble, Twitch. You become a hypocrite. Just another Joker, shouting “me, me, me” while fellow creators are silenced, struggling, and buried beneath injustice.

As long as you’re fed and you can sleep, it’s “fuck everyone else,” right?

Mothers with mouths to feed. Creators with bills to pay. People who gave their all for this platform while it gave them nothing in return.

Yeah- fuck them, huh? my fellow creators?

I don’t care if this pisses people off. I’m not here to kiss ass or chase clout. I’m here to tell the truth.

Because when creators who've done nothing wrong get punished, and people who game the system get protected because they choose sell their morals and principles and meat ride over money , that’s when the mask slips.

And you know what’s underneath?

A creator who’s willing to sell their soul for numbers and a platform that won’t lift a finger when shit hits the fan—is playing a dangerous game. These companies don’t care about you. They’re a business, and businesses always protect themselves. But the fellow creators who feel your pain? They’re your real community and you chose not to stand with them.

When push comes to shove, and legal action is on the table, trust and believe: they’ll throw you straight into the lion’s den to save their own skin. If Kick ever gets legally forced to expose who the botters are in FTC for example and who enabled it, they’ll fold in a heartbeat and some of y’all verified and KCIP creators are so gullible, thinking this company will have your back when the fire starts. U dumbest person on this planet.

🗣️ Final Words

To Kick: you had a chance to build something real. You had a community willing to stand by you. But instead of protecting your foundation, you chose to reward the fakes.

I don’t care if this gets me blacklisted. Because the truth? Deserves the light.

I’m not afraid to speak it.

I never was.

✊🏼 Stand up. Speak out. The real ones are watching. I will expose any platform's wrongdoings, and those creators who ride the wave just to sleep well at night. Let’s make sure people know exactly who they’re supporting and watching.

Don't pick kick. PICK YOUR MORALS and stick with it. But if degen bad human being ofc u just like them.
