Live streaming services

The live services that are showing as the available services for livestreaming

1.Twitch
2.YouTube
3.Kick

The question is if Kick would be a secondary streaming service below Twitch? The reason for the question is because I would like to find a permanent base for live streaming, so I can plan accordingly for placing 2 main streaming services available to see ESO live, in different search engines YouTube is shown more as a pre-recorded base for information, not that YouTube does not have the capability to show livestreams throughout the week

Kick appears as a good source; however a main consensus is wished for the purpose of having 2 services to depend upon for the future, so no new services are suggested, all three services are good services for the community to watch, hoping to get some feedback in regards to what specific site will be most profitable as the alternative if part of the community cannot watch Twitch for example, Twitch is amazing, and I also believe that livestreaming is an important aspect of showing ESO

I don't think any of them are profitable as streaming. ESO doesn't have a viewership, and streamers seem to do it for fun or for their guild, not for their primary, full-time-job-equivalent income. I like to play the game, but it's not good to watch honestly, because the gameplay doesn't translate well to the screen.

Anyone with the personality and editing and business skills to make money off of ESO has a lot more to gain from following a larger, better-to-stream trendier game. That's why a lot of ESO streamers move on to other games.

What we do always need are updated guides (text plus video) for new players. People have a lot of questions about ESO and these videos help invite people and keep newer players. People want training builds, starter builds, etc, from what I can gather.

If you make shorts or longer form videos, those might funnel some viewers to your Youtube livestream. TESO on Kick is a complete wasteland so you would be gambling on being about the only fish in an empty pond. I don't see ZOS ever offering any kind of drops/rewards on Kick in our lifetime, whereas Youtube is always a distant possibility depending on Google rolling out such functionality.

I hear nothing but terrible things about Kick, as a layperson, I wouldn’t touch Kick with a 10-foot-pole due to all the… crime… attached to it. I think every time I have heard of someone streaming ESO, it has been to Twitch.

thanks @ soarora
I am going to try Kick and see how the ball rolls, the comments are good, feel Kick might be a good thing in my opinion, you might be right though, something good will come out, hope so
