⚡ Kick (95/5) vs. Twitch (50/50): How Much Extra Do You Keep?
Kick gives every streamer a 95% subscription split from day one, while standard Twitch Affiliates keep 50% (or 60%–70% in the Twitch Plus program).

💡 Mobile App Store Fee Warning
⚠️ Encourage viewers to subscribe in a desktop/mobile browser rather than the iOS/Android app—Apple and Google add a 30% app store surcharge that costs viewers more without paying you extra.
