Adin Ross: Leaving Twitch Despite Lucrative Deals
Adin Ross, recognized as one of the first major streamers to transition from Twitch to Kick, revealed that his departure from the Amazon-owned platform was driven by several factors, despite having lucrative advertising deals in place.

One of the pivotal moments that contributed to Adin’s decision to leave Twitch was his desire to host Kanye West, now known as Ye, on his stream. However, Twitch’s stringent policies and restrictions posed challenges, limiting his creative freedom. Adin expressed frustration over the platform’s reluctance to allow such high-profile guests on his stream, citing concerns about potential repercussions.
Additionally, Adin cited Twitch’s ban on gambling content as another factor that played into his decision-making process. The introduction of new policies and regulations, coupled with restrictions on certain types of content, created a less favorable environment for creators like Adin who sought versatility and flexibility in their streams.
Adin Ross: Opportunity with Kick
The allure of Kick, particularly the opportunity to become a part-owner of the platform, proved to be a compelling proposition for Adin. He recounted how Kick’s billionaire co-founder Eddie “Ed” Craven personally approached him with an offer of equity and collaboration, presenting a unique opportunity to explore new horizons and embark on a journey of growth and innovation.
As Adin continues to navigate his journey on Kick, his insights into the transition from Twitch offer valuable lessons for content creators and platforms alike. The evolving landscape of live streaming platforms underscores the importance of adaptability and strategic decision-making in an ever-changing digital landscape.
Adin Ross’s candid discussion with Jynxzi provides a glimpse into the complexities and considerations involved in transitioning between streaming platforms. His experiences serve as a testament to the dynamic nature of the industry and the significance of aligning with platforms that offer creative freedom, opportunity for growth, and a supportive environment for content creators.
