Basically is there a way to watch kick without ads that you know of? Update: I tried kick plugin for grayjay. Doesn't work for me. But uBlock Origin can successfully block the ads and background play work too

Just tried it both on PC and Android. And I can say that Grayjay is actually super smooth with Kick and Twitch.

There is however no livechat feature on PC yet...

Ninth circle of hell. It's a streaming platform that's infamous for basically never banning anyone, so it attracted all sorts of sketchy or downright evil folk.

Oh... Is is it just Nazis and porn?

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely not! There are also pedophiles. According to some normal streamers I watch on other platforms, creating child pornography live on Kick by streaming Omegle clones and trying to bully children into undressing was a fairly common activity.

........and gambling

no, other types of hatred are allowed and plentiful

Twitch with gambling.

It's a Twitch alternative platform. Not sure about being evil and all that

[–] kcweller@feddit.nl 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Everyones sure about it being evil and all that, they promote underage gambling.

I don't watch that kind of content. Some of my favorite streamers are on kick I just follow them. The rest is none of my concern.

Supporting content creators who support a platform that directly markets gambling to children is supporting gambling to children.

There's casino streams on both youtube and twitch too. This grandstanding against kick makes no sense.

I just use Firefox with uBlock origin. Have never had an ad, can listen with locked screen and it basically just works.

I think Grayjay can but I haven't had as much luck with that playing kick. (It works fantastically for YouTube)

Thanks that's right uBlock is always the answer!

Thanks will try grayjay but I think kick plugin was in beta maybe it's gotten better since last time I checked

I like it because it has no ads. I can turn off list of stupid gamba channel listings. It pays it streamers 90% of their sub unlike Twitch. The quality is better than Twitch. It is not American owned(added bonus).

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They're only paying that much to gain a market. If they get to the point of being any type of threat to twitch, they're going to significantly decrease that share

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Yup. Make hay while the sun shines.

So keep using it until they do that
