Shocking Live Stream: Adin Ross Victimized by Swatting Attack on Kick

Highlights

Adin Ross, a controversial streamer, was recently swatted during a live stream on Kick.

Swatting is a perilous prank where emergency services are erroneously called to a person's location, resulting in a sudden and overwhelming police presence. This distressing act poses a threat to both professional and amateur streamers, creating a frightening and tense experience for both the streamer and viewers involved.

Controversial streamer and content creator, Adin Ross, experienced a swatting incident during a live stream on Kick, following his permanent ban from Twitch. Although Ross gained a significant following on Kick after his ban, he still fell victim to a prank that has plagued streamers for years.

During a recent live stream of Ross and Jynxzi playing golf, it was revealed that the streamer had been swatted. Swatting, a practice where someone calls emergency services on a specific individual to surprise them with a large police presence at their location, has been a longstanding internet phenomenon. However, the shocking nature of swatting on platforms like Twitch is always a jolting experience for viewers due to its inherent danger.

In the brief clip, only Ross's feet are visible as he puts down the camera to avoid any trouble with the police officers who arrived at the scene. Eventually, the live stream freezes and cuts out as an officer demands that Ross turn off the camera. Since swatting gained popularity, no streamer, whether professional or hobbyist, has been safe from experiencing its effects.

Ross and Jynxzi have fortunately emerged unharmed from the alarming situation. Despite Twitch's competition with Kick, the platform remains susceptible to swatting incidents. The issue lies in the fact that preventing swatting seems nearly impossible. When it involves streamers, anyone can become a target, and it can be an intensely frightful experience. This not only instills fear in the streamer but also creates a tense atmosphere for viewers tuning into a live stream. Hopefully, a resolution will be found in due course.
