On March 31, 2023, internet star Tyler "Trainwreckstv" took to Twitter to provide clarity about the revenue system on Kick. He claimed that the platform will "not touch" the streamer's monthly subscription revenue and added that it isn't a "primary driver."Trainwreckstv went on to say that content creators have been misled and "conditioned" to believe otherwise. According to him, livestreaming platforms that take a cut from a streamer's subscription revenue are motivated by "pure greed." The 32-year-old's social media post read:"Let’s clear something up regarding Kick. We will not touch your sub revenue. Sub revenue is not a primary revenue driver, you’ve been misled and conditioned to think otherwise on other platforms, the taking of sub revenue is the result of pure greed and/or a failed business model."Trainwreck@Trainwreckstvlet’s clear something up regarding kick:we will not touch your sub revenue. sub revenue is not a primary revenue driver, you’ve been misled & conditioned to think otherwise on other platforms, the taking of sub revenue is the result of pure greed &/or a failed business model.9898724let’s clear something up regarding kick:we will not touch your sub revenue. sub revenue is not a primary revenue driver, you’ve been misled & conditioned to think otherwise on other platforms, the taking of sub revenue is the result of pure greed &/or a failed business model."What a huge win for creators" - Online community lauds Trainwreckstv as he explains the subscription revenue system on KickThe Iranian-American personality's update drew plenty of attention from the online public, with several community members responding to his tweet.
