Basically is there a way to watch kick without ads that you know of? Update: I tried kick plugin for grayjay. Doesn't work for me. But uBlock Origin can successfully block the ads and background play work too

I just use Firefox with uBlock origin. Have never had an ad, can listen with locked screen and it basically just works.

I think Grayjay can but I haven't had as much luck with that playing kick. (It works fantastically for YouTube)

Thanks that's right uBlock is always the answer!

Just tried it both on PC and Android. And I can say that Grayjay is actually super smooth with Kick and Twitch.

There is however no livechat feature on PC yet...

Why are you even on Kick?

I like it because it has no ads. I can turn off list of stupid gamba channel listings. It pays it streamers 90% of their sub unlike Twitch. The quality is better than Twitch. It is not American owned(added bonus).

They're only paying that much to gain a market. If they get to the point of being any type of threat to twitch, they're going to significantly decrease that share

Yup. Make hay while the sun shines.

So keep using it until they do that
