Atro shows the power of streamers switching to Kick
Now one of the top streamers on Kick, Atro has made a name for himself in the mobile gaming space, and his journey to a major milestone in his growth is demonstrative of what has driven so many content creators to make the jump to Kick.
Kick has a niche for everyone, from streamers to viewers. These run the gamut from gaming to slot playing to vlogging content, and popular streamers can rack in tens of thousands of viewers per video and even more followers. Content creators from all over the world have found a rewarding audience on Kick, and improved revenue opportunities have made it a destination for those switching over.
Arabic-speaking Atro is one such streamer who has found a nice spot for himself on Kick, and it’s paying off for him in terms of both followers and revenues.
Who is Kick streamer Atro?
Atro is an Iraqi streamer who mainly posts his content on Kick and YouTube, and that content primarily revolves around PUBG Mobile.
The content creator started his YouTube channel in 2017 and has since gained over 16 million followers on the site. It’s there that he shares a short video every day to keep his fans engaged. Most of Atro’s longer-form content is based on Kick, where he streams for a few hours on an almost daily basis.
Viewers can tune into Atro’s streams to watch him play PUBG Mobile, a battle royale game that has become immensely popular worldwide with plenty of action to take on and loot to find. In the past, he has also streamed Counter-Strike content. The streamer’s fans tend to enjoy his competitive gameplay style, his bright personality, and his consistent audience engagement. Atro’s fans know that he wants them to have a good time while watching his streams, and that goes a long way.
Atro is both one of the most popular Arabic-speaking streamers and one of the more broadly popular streamers on Kick. With just around one million followers gathered by the end of 2025, he falls in the same realm of popularity as other top MENA content creators including Mofareh “Drb7h” Al Asiri and Ahmed “SXB” Alqahtani.
There are only ten Kick streamers so far who have over one million followers, and Atro seems set to become the 11th. That’s an incredible milestone for any content creator, and it shows the success Atro has seen with his switching to Kick for his livestreaming broadcasts.
Outside of streaming platforms, the creator is also very popular on TikTok, where he boasts an impressive 7.2 million followers. Those who don’t want to watch Atro’s full-length streams can catch smaller, bite-sized clips and highlights on his TikTok channel.
Streamers are switching platforms to stream on Kick
Atro is just one of a number of popular streamers across the world to shift the bulk of his streams to Kick from another platform.
Despite having tens of millions of followers on YouTube, Atro does most of his long-form content on Kick for hours each day. Many other popular streamers, notably including Stiven Tangarife “MrStivenTC” Caicedo, have made a similar jump in recent years.
One of the major reasons for the shift is the better payout for streamers on Kick. Founded in 2022, Kick promises a 95-5 revenue split in pay for streamers among those who qualify based on various channel metrics including subscriptions, views, followers, channel engagement, and more. By comparison, YouTube tends to share earnings at closer to a 55-45 ratio, while Twitch offers a 50-50 starting split that can scale up slightly for its most popular content creators.
For many streamers, a smaller but loyal audience on Kick can pay out way more. And for streamers like Atro who regularly have many thousands of viewers watching live at any given time, that additional revenue can really add up quickly.
Most of the most-followed streamers on Kick are within a few hundred thousand followers of each other. As Atro heads toward and surpasses one million followers, he gets ever closer to cracking that top ten list. It shows just how popular he is with Arabic-speaking audiences, and it’s a reminder of the potential benefits that switching to Kick can hold for streamers who are bold enough to make the move.
