Popular streamer Kai Cenat recently revealed why he declined a staggering $60 million deal offered by streaming platform Kick. During a live stream, the 22-year-old content creator explained his decision to remain loyal to Twitch, the platform where he has built a massive following.
Cenat disclosed that despite Kick’s lucrative offer, he values the creative freedom and opportunities Twitch provides. “It’s not always about the money,” he shared. “It’s about where you feel like you’re meant to be and where you can grow the most.”
The young star’s choice reflects his long-term vision for his career, emphasizing that his connection with his audience and the community he’s nurtured on Twitch are more significant than financial incentives. Cenat is one of Twitch’s biggest personalities, known for his humour, engaging content, and collaborations with celebrities.
While Kick, a rival streaming platform, has been aggressively poaching top talent with attractive deals, Cenat’s loyalty to Twitch highlights the importance of platform compatibility and personal values in shaping content creators’ decisions.
