YouTube generally pays the most per view across long‑form content and offers multiple income streams (ads, Shorts, memberships, Super Chat, sponsors).
Yes—especially when paired with brand deals, affiliates, and funnels to long‑form or email. TikTok and Instagram improved rev‑share in 2025, but sponsors often pay more.
Kick’s 95/5 split yields more per subscriber for many streamers, but Twitch’s larger ecosystem and features still drive significant income for creators with loyal audiences.
Bundle sponsorships across platforms, improve retention (watch time), and add memberships/Patreon while growing email for owned reach.
