The problem is kick, that grows up with much better revenue split while Twitch is so incompetent that they may at some point lose the first mover advantage

    Twitch has no competiton. As of 2024 they had 61% of total watch time across all live streaming platforms. It's the kind of share that other industries would kill to have. None of the other streaming markets or even VOD platforms can achieve these numbers.

    Take music streaming, Spotify only has ~32% of the market share even though they are kind of ubiquitous with music streaming at this point.

    Out of curiosity, how much did they have in 2019?

    Edit: Nvm, found article with some data: it was 73%... ... And in 2018 it was 75%

    I don’t know where you’ve got those figures from, but according to this source, youTube has over 50% of the live streaming market, as measured in watch-hours. Then it’s TikTok, and then twitch.
