A clip of Twitch streamer yusuf7n went viral on December 3, 2025, after he revealed on his livestream he rejected a lucrative offer from Kick worth over $500,000. While discussing the deal, yusuf7n, who boasts around 240,000 followers on Twitch, stated the amount was appealing but not enough to prompt him to leave the Amazon-owned platform.
“How much? It wasn’t as much as it could have been if I gambled, but... on god, may god strike me and my whole family down, over $500K. Which is good, but not enough for me to leave Twitch, bro. On god, it’s not,” yusuf7n expressed, signaling his commitment to his current platform.
This decision is noteworthy, especially considering Kick’s aggressive approach toward attracting Twitch streamers since its inception, gifting many attractive offers. Yusuf7n isn’t the only streamer who has recently attracted attention by declining such deals; his statement highlights the complex choices streamers face.
Fellow Twitch star Kai Cenat ignited news headlines back in November 2024 when he claimed to reject a staggering $60 million contract from Kick—a figure later publicly disputed by Trainwreckstv, another prominent streamer. xQc made waves himself back in 2023 when it was reported he had signed a deal worth $100 million with Kick, illustrating the competitive and sometimes lucrative environment these platforms create.
Despite the appeal of such large sums, yusuf7n remains steadfast. “I am not moving from Twitch, bro. It would never happen. I am going to be honest though, chat, I was not lying. Kick did come with a deal not even involving gambling, bro. But I turned it down, because this is my home, bro. Twitch is my f**king home, bro,” he declared, solidifying his loyalty to the platform.
Once popular streamers who ventured to other platforms are beginning to return to Twitch, which perhaps signals to others the enduring strength and familiarity of Twitch’s offerings. A noteworthy comeback is slated for Valkyrae, who is set to return to Twitch after five years, with her stream scheduled for January 8, 2025.
Yusuf7n’s comments reflect not just his own values but also the sentiments shared by many who have built their online personas within the confines of Twitch’s ecosystem. His story resonates amid the growing trend of platform migration—a theme familiar to fans of the streaming world, which continues to evolve.
Overall, the streaming industry sees constant flux, as streamers weigh financial benefits against community ties and personal philosophies. Whether jumping to new waters like Kick or returning to familiar shores like Twitch, each choice carries its weight and reflects broader trends within the lucrative yet unpredictable world of live streaming.
