A new dawn for SL streamers? (Kick.com)

Kick is still being taken seriously? The place where streamers can hire an escort and set her up to scare her half to death while livestreaming to an audience and the co-founder chills in chat posting laugh emojis while she's trying to flee the room. Great platform.

If anything, Second Life (and serious streamers in general) should self-banish from there and refuse to be associated. Terrible things happen on Twitch, too, but you very rarely find the CEO chilling in chat donating subs and egging it on when it does.

Yeah any platform that encourages the kind of idiotic "irl streamers" that somehow managed to get banned from Twitch... well, I doubt there's much LL can do about SL being featured there but it's not a great platform and will not bring anything good to SL other than (more) trolling.

 Considering how many places SL is banned from, I don't blame people for using Kick.

This isn't much different than saying "We won't let you join our club but how dare you join theirs."

It's not banned from YouTube. You can livestream on there, as well. Discovery for livestreams is pretty terrible, but it's a thing.

Kick is generally where streamers go when they get yeeted off Twitch for bad behavior and/or want to stream content that could potentially run afoul of Twitch's TOS, or the law in general (unapproved gambling, IRL drama streams, adult content, some just stream whole movies for some weird reason).

Some "chill" gaming streamers shifted from Twitch over to YouTube, though, as it draws a slightly different audience. I find some people streaming cozy Sims 4 content and Stardew-like simulation games on YouTube. Second Life could probably tap into a similar audience over there.

The FFXIV streamers on Youtube are A+ and delightful.
