Adin Ross speculates that Twitch might be considering lifting his permanent ban later this year, as revealed during a recent Kick stream. Despite facing controversy throughout his career as a streamer, Ross has never shied away from sharing his opinions, which has led to both support and criticism. His outspoken nature has resulted in a permanent ban from Twitch, but Ross is optimistic about a potential return to the platform.
In February 2023, Adin Ross was permanently banned from Twitch after being part of the platform for four years. Twitch cited the reason for his ban as the display of offensive language and racial slurs from a chat box on competitor platform Kick during his stream. Transitioning to Kick after the ban, Ross quickly rose to fame as one of the platform's prominent creators. Despite the setback, Ross is hopeful for a comeback on Twitch in the near future.
As reported by Dexerto, a recent clip from a Kick stream reveals that Adin Ross' team is working on getting his permanent suspension from Twitch reversed. Asked by popular streamer xQc if he was still banned on Twitch, Ross stated that he will be un-banned at "some point during 2024." He emphatically asserted the claim to viewers watching the stream, believing that Twitch is intending to lift his suspension within the coming months. Adin Ross expressed his excitement at the thought of returning to the Amazon platform during the stream, now just over a year since the permaban was enacted.

Adin Ross did not present concrete evidence of Twitch's plan to lift his ban, but the potential reversal aligns with Twitch's recent actions. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy had talked about reconsidering permanent bans last year, showing willingness to offer banned creators a second opportunity. IShowSpeed had his permaban lifted last Autumn, almost two years after being banned for making offensive comments during an Adin Ross stream.

Twitch's recent stance towards permanently banned streamers coincides with the company's reported financial struggles. A statement from Twitch last year disclosed that the streaming platform is running at a loss due to its rapid expansion. Additionally, Twitch is closing its services in South Korea after being fined for breaking telecom laws during the abrupt closure. By attempting to lure back former popular streamers, Twitch aims to improve its current situation and stabilize the platform.
Editor's P/S:
I am cautiously optimistic about Adin Ross's potential return to Twitch. He is a talented streamer with a large following, and his return would be a welcome addition to the platform. However, it is important to remember that he was banned for a reason, and it is crucial that he learns from his past mistakes and refrains from using offensive language or making racially insensitive comments in the future.
Twitch's recent willingness to reconsider permanent bans is a positive sign, and it suggests that the company is open to giving creators a second chance. However, it is also important to note that Twitch is a business, and they will ultimately make decisions based on what they believe is in the best interests of the platform. If Adin Ross does return to Twitch, he will need to prove that he is a valuable asset to the community and that he is committed to creating a positive and inclusive environment for all viewers.
