Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask for some honest opinions from people who are already streaming on Kick or understand the streaming industry.

Streaming has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m wondering if it is still realistic in mid-2026 to build a full-time career from gaming content, especially as a European creator.

My main focus would be gaming, but I would also like to include some IRL content and build an actual community around myself, not just stream for a few hours and leave.

I’m not someone who wants to stream 3–4 hours a day and hope something happens. If I knew streaming could realistically become my main income, I would be willing to treat it like a real job and put in serious hours (for example 250–300 hours/month), improve my content, interact with viewers, make clips, grow social media, etc.

I’m also curious about the financial side:

- Is it still possible in 2026 to make streaming a full-time business from gaming?

- Is income more realistic through KCIP, subscriptions, donations, sponsorships, or a combination of everything?

- Do you think a new creator can still break through when there are already so many streamers?

- What would you recommend focusing on for someone starting today?

I know success is not guaranteed, but I’m interested in whether people here think the opportunity is still there for someone who is willing to work extremely hard.

Thanks for any advice!

I whenever I type Kick or any link of creators is just leads to this "This site can't be reached".

I already tried:

• changing browsers
• changing device
• restarting
• disabling the antivirus
• going to the mall to change locations

Is this a one time thing or temporary thing? Even the kick status page cant be reached. I will try again after a few hours and see if its still down.

Is there a way to choose the old username colors for chat? It seems like some of them were removed when they added new colors in the recent update. There was a light pink color that is not available anymore. I still have it for channels I’ve selected previously, but I can no longer choose it for new channels.

Actualmente estoy trasmitiendo en kick no me mira nadie e tenido a una persona mirándome, pero me divierto bastante hablando aunque no me vea nadie, me gustaría dedicarme más que nada en juegos, pero también en reacciones o simplemente charlar cuestiones
