Kick Co-Founder Responds To Pokimane’s Claims

Ed “Eddie” Craven, a co-founder of Kick, has reacted to recent comments made by Imane “Pokimane,” a well-known internet celebrity.

For perspective, it claims that Kick makes use of Twitch’s capabilities and went viral on June 17, 2023. She continued by saying that the platform, which is controlled by Amazon, might at any point discontinue offering its rival services: “Respectfully, people that say stuff like this, you don’t understand that Kick makes Twitch money. Like, Kick is using Twitch’s services. And, if Twitch really wanted, they could just stop giving these services to Kick. But right now, they’re just sitting back like, ‘Thanks,’ I guess. Honestly, I don’t really care that much. Yeah. Well, AWS is Amazon and Twitch is Amazon. So, in a way, it is.”

Fans told Ed Craven the Moroccan-Canadian streamer’s feelings during a recent livestream. The latter responded by labelling it a “strange” and “uneducated” perspective. He clarified: “So, I don’t know. If Pokimane recons that’s true then good on Pokimane. Congratulations to her, she thinks that’s a good thing. But, I think – it’s, you know… it’s a very strange take, in my opinion. A very strange take! I think it’s almost an uneducated take, to be honest with you. I think, typically, people should avoid publicly commenting on stuff they’ve got no f**king clue about. But, that’s just my take. Anyways.” 

Ed Craven spotted a viewer bringing up Pokimane’s most recent opinion, in which she indicated that Kick uses Twitch’s services, with the latter earning money. This sparked the conversation. The co-founder of the platform retorted: “‘Pokimane said that Twitch is making money off of Kick. And it’s good Kick passes Twitch. Is it true or [unintelligible]?’ (Ed Craven starts laughing) I don’t know. Take that how you want, but if their record is good, then f**k it, then! So, be it.”

The following is why Kick employs Amazon Web Services (AWS), according to Ed Craven: “Yeah, obviously, Kick, similar to pretty much every website on the internet, not everywhere, but, like, 50% of the websites on the internet utilizes Amazon Web Servers. AWS is huge, right? Everyone uses AWS. It’s massive. There’s no doubt about it. Kick uses AWS. Stake uses AWS. You know, Netflix uses AWS.”

The Australian celebrity claims that “half” of the internet is powered by AWS. As the company that offers Kick’s services, Amazon, not Twitch, benefits from the service: “Pretty much, half the internet uses AWS. So yeah, I guess Amazon makes money off Kick. That definitely doesn’t mean Twitch makes money off Twitch. Twitch and Amazon are different companies, right? They’re different entities.”
