Social media has been flooded with speculation that Kick slashed payments under its Partner Program (KPP), after several high-profile creators claimed their recent payouts were significantly smaller than before.
Kick recently removed nearly 1,000 viewbotters and deleted millions of fake accounts
Kick CEO Eddie Craven addressed the criticism on X, explaining that payouts are only adjusted “when underlying views aren’t truly authentic.” He added that Kick recently removed nearly 1,000 viewbotters and deleted millions of fake accounts:

Streamer Adin Ross was one of the first to speak out, suggesting that his payouts were cut after leaving Stake to partner with rival gambling site Rainbet:

Another creator, Sneako, also voiced frustration after revealing he earned only $81 during a recent two-hour stream, saying he now understands why so many streamers focus on gambling-related content:

Many users questioned the backlash, noting that no other major platform offers hourly pay. Kick’s partner bonuses are tied to viewer quality, not stream time, meaning inflated or artificial views can disqualify earnings.
