Kick and Twitch star Felix "xQc" has suggested that Nick "FaZe Lacy" did not get paid enough following his recent multi-streaming experiment because the platform supposedly detected viewbots on his broadcast. For context, on June 14, 2025, a minute-long clip went viral on X, in which FaZe Lacy announced that he would not be simultaneously livestreaming on Kick because he made $1,500 from a nine-hour stream.The FaZe Clan member elaborated:"Being completely honest and up front with you guys - the money is not good enough. It was not good enough. Just as simple as that. I streamed for nine hours yesterday, and I made $1,500 off of it. Or $1,700. So, if I'm being completely up front and honest, the money is not worth having to, you know, co-stream on two platforms. But listen - it's all love to Kick, you know, I have nothing against Kick. I do like Kick, obviously."On June 15, 2025, xQc shared his thoughts on the situation, saying that the Stake-backed platform does not compensate streamers for "botted" content:"I saw some clips about this, and I'm going to be honest with you, his chat was frozen. I thought it was a glitch, but his chat was, like, actually frozen. Not sure how that affects things. Also, I saw a lot of people saying stuff like, 'Oh, dude, bots will do this and that,' like the anti-Kick bot s**t is, like, really advanced. And I'm telling you - when people bot, they know. And they don't pay out bot amounts. So, that doesn't help you."Timestamp - 00:27:47xQc talks about "crazy" anti-botting system that Kick CEO Ed Craven showed himThe conversation continued, with xQc claiming that Kick CEO Ed "Eddie" Craven showed him the anti-bot system. While claiming that content creators who artificially inflate their viewership have their income "capped at a certain amount," the French-Canadian personality said:"They calculate it internally and... I spoke with Eddie about this at length. He showed me everything. I'm telling you - the people that bot like crazy, their s**t is, like, capped at a certain amount until it's resolved. It's actually insane!"In addition to xQc, Just Chatting streamer Zack "Asmongold" responded to FaZe Lacy's claim that he made $1,500 from a nine-hour stream, saying that the 22-year-old should "just get more viewers" on the platform.
