Kick emerged as a fresh, less restrictive alternative and has become a digital home for Peruvian gamers, podcasters, DJs, urban artists, and even sports commentators. It gives creators more freedom and a bigger cut of the revenue, thanks to a creator-friendly model that is drawing in both big-name and up-and-coming streamers — unlike other platforms that take a larger share.
The trend is already noticeable in Peru, with influencers either migrating or sharing content across both Twitch and Kick, experimenting with formats like: livestreams of Dota 2, Valorant, and retro games, freestyle sessions, live debates, DJ sets, and more, alongside talks with a cause,” covering youth politics and current issues in Peru.
As a result, Kick is quickly becoming a go-to space for young people looking for a platform where they can express themselves more freely, with fewer filters and more authenticity.
