> So AFIK Kick isn't likely to make it longer, except maybe as legally and ethically questionable gambling paltform

You can't just say they are going to fail if we disclude the main reason why they are going to succeed!

There is a ton of money in gambling. That's why it's a very serious competitor.

They have a rare luxury of being able to tell advertisers to shove it, if they can make all their money doing gambling conversions.

the problem with gambling is its often not legal to advertise it too much, so many of the streams doing so either are in a legal gray area or outright illegal in many EU countries

worse a lot of gambling is deeply intertwined with organized crime in many countries

so if they as long as they have gambling they basically have no much chance to succeed in many areas which are not gambling on a wider scale and might outright bared from operating in some countries without 18+ age verification, too
