Back in February, a relatively small Polish streamer by the name of Sideneuke made the news after running over a dog while driving on stream. With Twitch banning her indefinitely, it seems she has moved over to Kick as an alternative. The incident garnered widespread attention on social media, with many criticizing her for driving while distracted on the phone.

Sidenneuke now joins Adin Ross, Kick's poster boy, who also exclusively streams on the platform following his perma-ban from Twitch. It's unclear when exactly she made the move, but her channel on Kick was linked in a tweet on March 14.


After getting banned from Twitch, Polish streamer SIdeneuke who ran over a dog on stream has started streaming on Kick

On February 18, Sideneuke became embroiled in controversy after running over a dog while driving while she was streaming on Twitch. Clips of the incident caused massive outrage on Reddit and social media as Polish people pointed out that she had noticed dogs on the road but still chose to get distracted by her phone.

The tweet by Green0 reads (translated from Polish):

"How can you say, 'Jesus, how many dogs are there' and then take out your phone while driving? They should cut their hands off for this behavior"

Redditors on r/LivestreamFail, the popular streamer subreddit, also felt that Sideneuke needed to be penalized, and Twitch obliged by banning her. Readers should note that she has mentioned that the dog was fine and that she was in contact with the owner in reply to Green0's post saying (translated from Polish):

"Everything is fine with the dog. Running and no fracture. I've learned not to look at my phone next time. I am in contact with the owner."

Following her indefinite ban from Twitch due to the incident, Sideneuke has joined the growing trend of streamers moving to Kick, a platform with a reputation for minimal moderation. This move is not unusual as many streamers have been dissatisfied with Twitch's TOS and have been exploring other options. It is important to note that Sideneuke is still banned from Twitch despite her move to Kick.

Kick is being widely criticized following numerous transgressions going unchecked from big streamers such as Adin Ross. When smaller streamers do get in trouble, it's usually not for long, as evidenced by Trainwreckstv's Twitter thread with Heelmike who was banned for only a day after having oral s*x on stream.

Kick's lack of moderation has been a major concern for many in the streaming community. Prominent streamers like PointCrow and HasanAbi have confronted Trainwreckstv, who is one of Kick's biggest supporters and an advisor, over the platform's failure to enforce its own terms of service, especially after clear TOS violations by Adin Ross.
