Kai Cenat recently shared that he refused multiple offers from major streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime to host his Streamer University off Twitch. This is a big deal because Streamer University blew up on Twitch earlier this year, drawing hundreds of thousands of viewers.
Back in February, Kai announced plans to support upcoming creators with a Streamer University. By May, it happened for real: 150 creators gathered at the University of Akron for classes and hangouts. The event’s Twitch debut attracted over 600,000 viewers, and the Streamer University category quickly became the platform’s second most popular.
While many streamers like DDG stayed live on Twitch throughout the event, Kai revealed he’d been approached by Netflix, Amazon Prime, and even Tubi to move the show off Twitch. But he chose to keep it where it started.
“A lot of people been talking about how this s*it should be on Netflix or Amazon Prime should buy this, Tubi should buy it, somebody higher and they do it crazy. We already been getting talks with different people,” Kai said.
He explained why he kept the show on Twitch: “With an idea like this, so original, you gotta keep it where it’s at. You want to know why? Y’all channels, and who y’all are as a person. This is y’all idea and your guys’ stuff, you feel me? Treat your platform as you would treat other platforms.”
Kai also mentioned he sees good Twitch content as a reward for viewers who subscribe, which might not be the same on other platforms.
Fans chimed in with ideas about what could work on Netflix, like behind-the-scenes shows similar to NFL’s Hard Knocks or the Sidemen’s Netflix series. One fan said, “Look at NFL’s hard knocks, something like that would be fire,” while another added, “He gotta put it on Netflix like the sidemen did.”
Earlier, Kai had hinted he might not do another Streamer University because of the hate he received, but the event’s success and owning the IP suggest he might reconsider.
Wow, can you imagine what this could look like on Netflix? But Kai’s decision to keep it on Twitch shows how much he values the community vibe and the platform that helped build it. I’m curious—what do you think? Should Streamer University stay on Twitch or move to a bigger streaming service? Drop your thoughts below!
