Video game streamers, who display their prowess in real time playing first-person shooters, sports, and adventure games, are now in a high-stakes battle over which platform to ply their trade on.

This crop is increasingly migrating off the platform to online casino-owned Kick, an upstart platform that allows creators to keep 95% of their subscription revenues.
