Twitch Star Admits Streaming Addiction for 'Millions'

Adin Ross Recommits to Kick, Hints at "Bigger" Plans

Popular streamer Adin Ross has definitively ended speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain on the Kick streaming platform "for good." Ross's unexpected absence from Kick earlier in 2024 fueled rumors of a potential departure, but his recent return with a new livestream, alongside fellow streamers Cuffem, Shaggy, and Konvy, on the weekend of January 4th, 2025, marked a significant shift. This marked his first stream in 74 days.

Ross, known for his high-profile presence and occasional controversies, initially joined Kick after a permanent ban from Twitch in 2023. His move, along with other prominent streamers like xQc, significantly contributed to Kick's rapid growth. While he enjoyed success on the platform throughout 2023, his sudden hiatus in 2024 sparked widespread conjecture, including whispers of a rift with Kick CEO Ed Craven. However, a December 21, 2024 livestream with Craven confirmed Ross's continued commitment to Kick.

Beyond his return, Ross's recent tweet hinted at "something even bigger" on the horizon. While details remain undisclosed, many fans speculate this relates to his Brand Risk boxing events, a project he previously intended to expand with Kick's support. Given past legal issues with Misfits Boxing in early 2024 concerning unsanctioned events, the success of future Brand Risk ventures will be closely watched.

Ross's decision provides a significant boost to both his fanbase and Kick's ongoing efforts to compete with Twitch. Kick co-founder Bijan Tehrani's earlier ambition to either surpass or acquire Twitch, while ambitious, now seems increasingly plausible given the platform's current momentum and the retention of key streamers like Ross.
