“Let me borrow $5 bro”: Fans react as Asmongold makes $40K from 2 Kick streams, more than a month on Twitch

It’s not every day a streamer (Asmongold) logs in, vibes for a couple of sessions, and walks away with enough cash to buy a brand-new sedan. But that’s exactly what happened when Asmongold streamed twice on Kick and made nearly $40,000.

For context, this is more than what he earned in a full month on Twitch with subscriptions. And the kicker? That juicy Kick paycheck didn’t even include subs. Yeah, just the Partner Program doing its thing. Naturally, the internet couldn’t stay calm.

Asmongold’s Kick Streams Stir Up the Streaming Scene

Asmongold, one of the most recognizable faces in the gaming community, recently dipped his toes into the streaming platform Kick. After just two streams, he discovered that his earnings through the Kick Partner Program had soared to nearly $40K without any help from subscriptions.

Meanwhile, on Twitch his long-standing streaming home his total for the month added up to $32K, including subscriptions. The stark difference in payouts had fans doing mental math, re-evaluating life choices, and in some cases, considering a sudden pivot to streaming careers.

It all began with a clip showing Asmongold genuinely shocked by the payout numbers. His disbelief was so pure that viewers couldn’t help but laugh and then scroll down to the comments section where things got even better.

A user chimed in with:

“Let me borrow $5 bro.”

We’ve all been there. You see someone casually pulling in the equivalent of a year’s rent in one weekend, and your first instinct is to ask for lunch money.

Another fan jumped on the train:

“f*** it man we back to streaming.”

Suddenly, everyone with a mic and a half-decent internet connection was ready to become a Kick Partner.

As the news made its rounds on social media, the reactions came in thick and fast. From aspiring streamers to long-time viewers, everyone had something to say and it was comedy gold.

A user dropped this gem:

“Give him some water fam 😂💀”

You’d think someone just walked 12 miles barefoot in the desert, not discovered a better revenue split.

One particularly inspired comment came from a user:

“Well… I will start mine soon.”

Ah yes, the sacred rite of procrastination. Kick stream coming… eventually.

Then there was the ever-loyal fan who boldly declared:

“I speak for everyone when I say Kick > Twitch.”

That might be a hot take but after seeing those numbers, it’s not hard to see where they’re coming from.

And finally, the slightly suspicious but totally valid question from:

“Someone needs to investigate on where his money goes.”

Because making $40K in two streams is cool and all but where’s the spreadsheet, bro?

There are a few reasons this post hit the sweet spot. First, it’s Asmongold a huge name with a massive following. Second, the payout difference between Twitch and Kick is genuinely jaw-dropping. And third, the reactions were just too funny not to share.

The contrast in earnings sparked conversations about revenue models, platform loyalty, and whether Twitch is really still the best place for creators. Kick, with its better revenue splits, seems to be gaining traction and fast.

More than just a payday revelation, this clip became a cultural moment. One that made people laugh, question their career paths, and maybe even open OBS for the first time.

Asmongold’s Kick earnings reveal didn’t just surprise him it triggered a mini internet meltdown. In a world where platform wars are getting more real by the day, this was the kind of moment that made everyone pay attention.

It’s not just about the money. It’s about possibility, shock value, and the sheer unpredictability of the internet. And hey if all else fails, maybe you can just stream twice and retire.

Or at least, borrow $5 from someone who did.
