We've been listening to the feedback that is going around on socials, and what we've heard when Ed and I have been live on KICK Talk - so I wanted to give everyone an update on what we've done about it. First one was that we weren't featuring enough people and the front page was a little too static and sticky for creators that were featured for extended periods of time. Our feature team has pushed hard on this, working with our account management and partnerships teams, and we've now featured over 3,000 creators over the last two weeks. Second was around our homegrown and loyal creators. The ones who've been grinding with us for ages but haven't quite hit the metrics to get partnered and monetised. We went through the data (and jumped in a lot of chats) and we're partnering over 100 creators immediately. If that includes you, you'll be getting an email from us over the next 24 hours. We know it's not a perfect science and data can't drive all decisions so if you feel like you should have been included and have been rocking with us for years? Send your pitch to [email protected] and tell us how and why you meet the criteria we mentioned on KICK Talk. We're talking 2-3 years streaming on KICK and close to achieving partner, but if you're not quite there we may be able to help with that final push. OGs deserve to be acknowledged by the platforms they helped build. Speaking of creators who've been with us through the whole journey, we're currently designing an OG Streamer Badge that will be rolled out to our most consistent and loyal streamers who've been here since near the start of KICK. We haven't locked in a name yet, so we want your help. Drop your best name ideas below. Please keep the feedback coming. It helps us improve and shapes what we work on next, so keep it honest and keep it coming.
