	'''The MultiKick Rickroll Incident''' occurred on June 5th, 2025, when MultiKick developers changed their code so that MultiKick embeds on sites other than their website, [https://multikick.com multikick.com], would display an angry message and a {{wiki\|Rickrolling\|Rickroll meme\|,}} blocking the actual [[Kick]] stream.		'''The MultiKick Rickroll Incident''' occurred on June 5th, 2025, when MultiKick developers (unaffiliated with Kick) changed their code so that MultiKick embeds on sites other than their website, [https://multikick.com multikick.com], would display an angry message and a {{wiki\|Rickrolling\|Rickroll meme\|,}} blocking the actual [[Kick]] stream.

	In early 2025 when Destiny was dual-streaming to both YouTube and Kick, Destiny enabled {{wiki\|4K resolution\|4K quality}} for his [[YouTube]] stream, at the request of his clippers, who had complained that the facecam's quality was too low when scaled up. However, for technical reasons, this resulted in YouTube's stream delay increasing substantially. Viewers realized that they could speed up the stream to catch up somewhat, but the stream was still noticeably behind the Kick stream, which had very low delay. Therefore, most [[chatters]] preferred to watch the stream on Kick, in order to remain in-sync with [[DGG Chat]]. Unfortunately, they would often complain that Kick's embed lacked volume and quality controls and chatters generally agreed that the YouTube embed was far better.
