  1. So as some of you may know, I've recently been given partnership on Kick.com, which is a live streaming platform. And I don't usually request help directly like this in the form of a video, but I feel like in this case I really should and I really need to. So I'm gonna pitch you today my channel on Kick.com

    Segment details0:00–0:18 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_0
  2. to try and get as many of you over to my channel on Kick. First of all, I just wanna start off by saying that I think it's pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway. In the last few years, I've been feeling pretty depressed, pretty down and miserable. And the reason why is because, let's face it, my YouTube

    Segment details0:18–0:34 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_1
  3. channel is dead. It doesn't grow anymore. The views just go down more and more. I think my channel is shadowbanned. The algorithm doesn't boost my channel or videos at all in the way that it used to do. YouTube pay is absolute peanuts for the amount of effort and time I'm putting into it compared to what it used

  4. to be like a couple years ago. So I feel like Kick is a new opportunity to have a fresh start and build something stronger. I understand that a lot of you don't want to come over to Kick because it's a pain in the backside. You don't like the platform or there's some other reason. But here's why you

    Segment details0:51–1:07 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_3
  5. should come to Kick and it's actually pretty good. So first of all, ad-free viewing. There's no ads on Kick, so you won't get interrupted with annoying ads every 6 minutes that I've had to unfortunately spam on my live streams on YouTube because that's the only way I can make enough money to make it worth doing. On Kick,

    Segment details1:07–1:23 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_4
  6. there's no ads. So if you don't use AdBlock or you don't have YouTube Premium, you won't be interrupted during my streams with annoying ads. Second reason why you should come over and watch my streams on Kick is because I'm making so much more money on Kick. I've already made $750 in just 4 days. So at this rate,

    Segment details1:23–1:42 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_5
  7. I'm on track to make about $1,500 in one week. In the first week, I'm gonna make more money than I make on YouTube in a whole month. So at this rate, in 4 weeks, I would probably make about nearly $6,000 in a month. I have never made so much money in a single month like this before. Even

    Segment details1:42–2:02 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_6
  8. when my YouTube channel went viral and blew up in 2018, the most I made was maybe $3,000 to $4,000 a month. Month, and that was when I was getting hundreds of thousands of views. And you might be thinking a few things like, why don't you just get a job, a real job? I had a real job. I

    Segment details2:02–2:16 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_7
  9. worked for Amazon Flex and Every, and I got banned from them, and they still didn't make as much money as I could potentially make on Kick. On Kick, I can make $5K to $6K a month potentially. There's no way— I mean, what kind of job can I get, a real job, that will make me $5K to $6K

    Segment details2:16–2:32 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_8
  10. in a month? I don't have the qualifications or skills to be able to get a job like that. I would have to be a software engineer or a doctor or a nurse or, I don't know, a police constable to be able to make £5,000 or £6,000 a month. There's just no way I'm gonna ever be able to

    Segment details2:32–2:45 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_9
  11. make that kind of money if I just get a normal job. The best I can do is minimum wage and just make a couple thousand a month if I worked full-time. And then it just— it's still not as good as if I just grinded really hard on Kick. And I feel passionate and motivated to make content again.

    Segment details2:45–3:01 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_10
  12. Something I haven't felt since 2018 or '19 has been the passion to create and actually do cool stuff. I used to feel like that in 2018 because my channel blew up and it grew and it was really good seeing the growth. And then as it stagnated and died, so did my passion for making content. But I feel

    Segment details3:01–3:19 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_11
  13. like it's back now and I feel invigorated in a way that I haven't felt before in ages. And secondly, you might be thinking, why would I want to help you, Daniel? Why would I want to help you make more money? I hate you, Daniel. So if you don't want to do it for me, do it for my

    Segment details3:19–3:33 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_12
  14. mum. I owe my mum a lot of money, £19,000, which is like $25,000. My mum helped me when I really needed the help and I was in big trouble. With taxes and needed help to buy my car to reduce my monthly expenses. And I asked if I could borrow the money and she let me borrow the money

    Segment details3:33–3:51 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_13
  15. without questions asked, just hoping that I would eventually pay her back. And I had a plan to pay her back and I was making enough money to be able to focus on this plan to pay back when I was driving and doing Everywork until I got banned. And then my financial situation became pretty bad to the point

  16. where I'm not saving any money after expenses because my YouTube money and OnlyFans money is only just enough to cover my bare base expenses. So if you want to help my mum or help me pay back my mum, all you gotta do is click on the link and watch my streams on Kick. You don't have to do

    Segment details4:08–4:26 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_15
  17. anything. You don't actually have to make an account. You don't have to download the app. You just have to click on the link and open in a browser and you can watch without making an account. Now I recommend you do make an account because that'll be better if you chat and become active in the chat. Because then

  18. I make more money. And the app is actually pretty good, and it's not that bad, and it's not that different to how YouTube is. And they have made a lot of improvements to the app, so it's a much better user experience. As for content, the kind of streams I'm going to be doing on Kick will be the

    Segment details4:41–4:55 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_17
  19. same as what I do on YouTube, you know, just in my house and cooking and talking. But also on top of that, I want to use my car and do trips, road trips, travel around England, go to interesting and cool places, and stream the whole thing, which I think will be a more interesting viewing experience compared to

    Segment details4:55–5:11 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_18
  20. what I'm usually doing. And now that have this extra money from Kick, I can afford to do it. And this is what the app looks like. It's basically the same as YouTube. You got the player at the top playing the stream, and then you got the chat here, and you got the chat box there, and you got

    Segment details5:11–5:23 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_19
  21. some emojis at the bottom. And you get custom emojis if you become a subscriber, which is $5 a month. And it's literally the same as YouTube. I don't know why people say it's a horrible app. It just does exactly what YouTube does, apart from it's got a black background instead of a white background with white text on

    Segment details5:23–5:41 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_20
  22. black with colored usernames. The app is fine. I think it's just like YouTube apart from it's got a slightly different design scheme, different color scheme where you've got black and the white text on the black. That's really the main difference to the YouTube app. And if I could just get a few more viewers to come over to

  23. Kick and watch me stream, I think I could probably pay off my mum within 3 to 4 months at this rate, making about $5K to $6K a month, which would be really cool. Me and my mum are currently not really on very good terms. We're not talking. She's mad at me and she thinks I'm not going to

  24. pay her back and I'm just going to run off to Thailand and ignore her, which is not what I'm doing. I am— I do want to pay her back and I will pay her back. And I think with this new boosted Kick income and with your help to come over to Kick and boost my numbers a bit

    Segment details6:15–6:29 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_23
  25. more, I could make more than $5K or $6K a month and I could possibly pay her back in 3 to 4 months at this rate. So the whole idea of moving to Thailand was because I just wasn't making enough money as it is, and I thought I could reduce my living expenses if I moved to Thailand and

    Segment details6:29–6:44 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_24
  26. have more left over. That was the whole idea for Thailand. But with this new income, I don't really need to move to Thailand anymore and I can just stay put, use my car, travel around the UK and make livestream content doing that, which I think would be quite interesting and maybe a short trip to Thailand or Asia

    Segment details6:44–7:00 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_25
  27. at the end of the year. So I want to make more content, do more stuff, not just sit in my house. And yeah, the ultimate goal is to get out of debt as quickly as possible and start rebuilding my finances really. And I noticed that some people don't seem to have a very good opinion of Kick. They

    Segment details7:00–7:16 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_26
  28. think it's like a shady website that promotes promotes bad people like Johnny Somali and other things that you might not be a fan of, like scams. But I think they've really cleaned up their act over the last few years. They've really tried hard to become stricter with moderation, and these people like Johnny Somali, they've been banned. I

    Segment details7:16–7:34 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_27
  29. don't think Kick is what it used to be like a couple years ago when it was kind of like the Wild West of streaming. They have clamped down a lot and things have improved a lot. So I don't really think it makes sense anymore to have this tarnished opinion of Kick. I think they're fine as a platform.

    Segment details7:35–7:49 · rev_5295112e5da4ced344018a693d10b442_28
  30. So after all of that, you still don't want to come over to Kick? That's fine, I understand. I can't force you to come over to Kick. It's up to you. At the end of the day, it's your decision. But I won't be streaming on YouTube anymore because the money is peanuts compared to what I could be making

  31. on Kick. Now, I'm not completely abandoning my YouTube channel. I will still make videos. I will make highlights edits of the streams and post them as 10 to 15 minute clips. So if you really don't want to come over to Kick, you can still support me by just watching those videos. And to be I'm just really disappointed

  32. with YouTube. They've just destroyed my channel growth. There's barely any traffic coming into my channel. Every time I post a new video, the algorithm just kills off any kind of new traffic coming to the video. So there's no growth, and I just don't know why they do this. So I have no choice to move to a different

  33. platform, and I think YouTube needs a real kick up the backside, and it needs some competition because they're gonna lose their creators like they've lost me. Hey, I'm going over to Kick and I don't want to come back to YouTube because I feel like I've been mistreated. I feel like my channel is, is still good, but for

  34. some reason it's been blacklisted for some stupid reason. I don't understand why. I mean, the algorithm on YouTube is awful. It's supposed to be helping channels grow and helping the videos find the right audience for the content, but it doesn't. It throttles the growth, it throttles the traffic. You can see it on the analytics. When I post

  35. a video, the trajectory is going up, so it's gaining views, and then after a day or after half a day, the line just goes flat and it's been throttled. Why did they do that? Like, what use is a stupid algorithm if it's not to help us creators maintain our channels and maintain traffic and audience and viewership? There's

  36. stupid things working against us. And then I have got no choice but to abandon my YouTube channel because it's just got no future at this point. Yeah, as you can tell, I am really upset with YouTube. I've been struggling for years and years trying to make new content and trying to reinvent myself or trying to focus on

  37. doing the stuff that used to work that just doesn't work anymore for no stupid reason, 'cause I think it's still good stuff, but it's just not working anymore, is it? And I'm sick and tired of going above and beyond, trying my hardest to make great content on YouTube, and all I'm getting is nonchalant, dry as fuck response

I hope you're interested in my offer and my proposal, and I look forward to working with you in the future. And I look forward to your feedback in the comments below. Goodbye.
