One of the cool things about Kick is that it very simply and efficiently lays out the steps streamers need to take to start earning money while creating content. And while the cut Kick streamers get is better compared to its purple competitor, it’s also easier to get verified there, too.

If you lust after verification on a social media platform, then Kick may be the site for you. The path to verification is clear cut and anyone can do it just by streaming consistently on the platform.
