Kick overtakes Twitch in key streaming niche with sustained lead in viewership
Kick has overtaken Twitch in the Spanish-speaking livestreaming market, maintaining a lead in viewership since early July 2025. The Stake-backed platform, which has gained traction by signing high-profile streamers from Twitch, surpassed its competitor in watch hours and market share in this segment, according to data from Kick Vs Twitch. The milestone was first reached on July 3, with Kick continuing to extend its lead over Twitch, peaking around July 14. The data, highlighted by Kick's Spanish social media accounts on X, indicates a shift in market dominance in Spanish-speaking regions, with Kick reportedly achieving around 60% of viewership in this category. This marks the second occasion Kick has surpassed Twitch in this segment. In October 2024, Colombian streamer WestCol attracted over 1 million concurrent viewers during his Stream Fighters 3 event, briefly pushing Kick ahead in viewership. The current figures suggest a more sustained lead for Kick, reflecting ongoing changes in the competitive landscape of livestreaming. Kick's broader growth was evident earlier in July when it recorded over 1 billion hours of watch time and captured an estimated 25% of the overall streaming market share. This growth has been supported by Kick's strategy of acquiring well-known creators while exploring various content categories beyond gaming.

Gavin Newsom Calls Trump a ‘Son of a B-tch'
About a month after National Guard troops and federal officers on horseback descended on MacArthur Park, where children at a summer day camp were reportedly present, California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed Donald Trump for deploying the U.S. military to Los Angeles. 'They're sitting there on horses with American flags, running through soccer fields, scaring kids in the middle of the day at a summer camp. For what? Just toughness,' Newsom said on The Shawn Ryan Show. 'It's a weakness masquerading as strength.' Newsom then slammed Trump, whose administration's ICE raids have devastated many small businesses, particularly those within large immigrant communities. 'That's what I don't like about this son of a bitch,' said the governor. 'He calls me 'Newscum.' How do I explain that to my kid? Now, I have my kids' friends calling my kids 'Newscum.' That I get, because I was called that in seventh grade, but not by a 79-year-old.' He added: 'Model better goddamn behavior.' Last month, Trump mobilized thousands of National Guard troops to L.A. amid anti-Immigrations and Customs Enforcements (ICE) protests in Los Angeles without the request or consent of city and state officials. Newsom has remained vehemently critical of the president, lambasting Trump for inciting chaos, using valuable resources, and militarizing city streets. In a ruling against the Trump administration on Friday, a federal judge temporarily blocked federal agents from using racial profiling to make indiscriminate immigration arrests. For the past month, agents have conducted raids in public and at workplaces across Southern California, showing up at Home Depots, restaurants, and car washes and arresting Spanish-speaking day laborers on immigration charges. 'Justice prevailed today,' wrote Newsom on social media following the ruling. 'The court's decision puts a temporary stop to federal immigration officials violating people's rights and racial profiling. California stands with the law and the Constitution — and I call on the Trump Administration to do the same.'
