Why was Adin Ross banned?
The streaming community was stunned after they came to know that Adin was indefinitely banned from the platform. At the time, fans came up with several possible reasons for his suspension; however, one in particular was seen as the catalyst for his fifth ban.
The incident on April 12 could be considered the starting point of the controversy, when Adin allegedly used a homophobic slur while on a call with his friend and fellow content creator YourRAGE.
