FaZe Clan Nick ‘Lacy’ Fosco has admitted he has only started multistreaming on Kick for the extra income as a number of FaZe content creators have made the move.
With the likes of Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms moving away from massive exclusivity contracts, streamers have a bit more freedom when it comes to where they choose to stream.
Multistreaming – where they broadcast one stream across a number of platforms – has become increasingly popular of late. Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins was the first to dive into it back in 2022, but as more platforms have become open to it, other streamers have followed.
Kick has benefited from it too. Asmongold recently made the Stake-backed site his second streaming home, and a number of FaZe Clan’s content creators have followed suit.
That includes FaZe Lacy, who admitted that he’s still focused on Twitch, but is using Kick to make some extra income.
“Today is my first ever day experimenting and trying out multistreaming,” he said. “We’re going to see how it goes. Obviously, you know, I’m going to be more focused on my Twitch community and Twitch chat rather than the Kick chat, but I’ll be checking it here and there.
“And, listen, I see everybody saying ‘oh why are you doing this? Sold your soul, sold out, did this.’ Motherf**ker, you would too for a bag. I don’t give a f*ck! Yeah, I’m multistreaming on Kick for an extra 100 bands a month, who wouldn’t? Yeah, I’ll admit it, I’m doing it for the bag. F*ck yeah, I am and you would too!”
The ability to make more money on Kick has swayed a lot of streamers to join, but they aren’t making the most amount of money possible.
Kick’s FAQs notes that “while multistreaming, your revenue will be calculated differently and may be reduced by up to 50% compared to streaming exclusively on Kick.” Plus, there is a setting that has to be activated to alert Kick to the fact you are multistreaming. And that goes for every time you go live.
