Clavicular Kick ban arrest

Streamer Clavicular’s ban from Kick seems has only led to more drama around the content creator, as he was welcomed to Twitch with a personal record number of viewers during his first stream and immediately found himself facing viewbot accusations as a result.

Clavicular has been in the news for multiple controversies of late, ranging from performing questionable acts on stream to apparently striking someone with his Cybertruck. The latter act earned the streamer a Kick ban, and he has received continued support from at least some of his loyal fans, the platform chose to keep his punishment intact despite his threats to move to Twitch.

Clavicular has now followed through on his threat to make the jump from Kick to streaming on Twitch, and he’s already generating fresh controversy as a result.

Clavicular gets huge viewership on Twitch, some cite viewbotting

Streamer Clavicular had been threatening to move to Twitch for some time, and with his Kick ban seemingly being the last straw, he made the jump and broke personal viewership records while inviting accusations of viewbotting.

Clavicular had previously threatened to leave Kick specifically after claiming that his KCIP revenue was lower than it should be. He had stated that if the issue wasn’t resolved, he would move his streaming activities over to rival platform Twitch. This was before his Kick ban that followed an incident involving his Cybertruck and an apparent stalker, which brought the controversial streamer under massive scrutiny. Some fans continued backing him while others condemned his seemingly reckless act.

After his being supported by other streamers including Kick content creator Adin Ross, Clavicular demanded that Kick unban him. Clavicular’s deadline for the ban removal passed with his Kick channel still suspended, and the streamer fulfilled his promise by then livestreaming on Twitch. That stream turned out to be one of the biggest of his career, with live concurrent viewers surpassing the 12,000 mark.

While this was a new record Clavicular had set, the streaming community’s response hasn’t been entirely positive. Some have alleged that Clavicular was viewbotting during his debut Twitch stream. They pointed out that while Clavicular’s stream reportedly peaked at 12,699 viewers, he only had a maximum of 454 chatters. The streamer’s viewers also dropped dramatically at one point, which further fueled speculations that he was abusing viewbot efforts to artificially promote his stream.

Clavicular discussed his move to Twitch with fellow content creator Nicolas “Sneako” Balinthazy during a stream, stating that his main motivation was still the aforementioned KCIP revenue decrease. The streamers talked about why KCIP money was decreasing for some creators, with one possible reason being that it was linked to viewbotting, something Clavicular is now being accused of on Twitch as well as on Kick.

In stark contrast to Clavicular, other Kick streamers including Felix “xQc” Lengyel and Zach “Asmongold” Hoyt have displayed their significantly higher streaming earnings on the Stake-backed platform. This further fueled speculations that Clavicular’s possible viewership manipulation may have influenced his decreased Kick revenue.
