Adin Ross is one of the most recognizable names on Twitch, although not always for the best reasons. He’s been banned from the platform five times between 2020 and 2022, although it hasn’t always been his fault.

He also hosts sponsored gambling streams and, as of late, has invited controversial internet personalities like Andrew Tate onto his stream for content, which doesn’t sit well with many people, including streamers.

He’s also done some positive things like donating thousands of dollars to a streamer with brain cancer and reportedly bailing fellow streamer IShowSpeed out of jail after he got swatted on stream on Aug. 8, 2022, however.

Either way, the division surrounding him hasn’t slowed down his momentum. Adin Ross started streaming in 2019. During his first two years, he focused on streaming NBA2K and GTA V almost exclusively.

Things changed in 2021 when he pivoted into Just Chatting streams, which comprise most of his content today. He still, however, dives back into NBA2K and GTA V occasionally and plays other games too.

Initially, Adin Ross’ popularity on Twitch coincided with his GTA V and NBA2K streams. He became one of the go-to streamers for people involved in those communities, particularly GTA V, and even founded his own server.

His popularity reached new heights after LeBron James and his son, LeBron James Jr., came on stream in 2020, however. He shared a clip on social media, which went viral, propelling him to Twitch stardom.

The most popular clip on Adin Ross’ Twitch channel is of him watching a female streamer cleaning her camera lens with her top, exposing a bit of cleavage, prompting Adin Ross to freak out in fear of getting temporarily banned.
