Aiden Ross is one of the biggest live
streamers of the past two years who
recently got a massive payout that is
potentially worth tens of millions of
dollars to abandon twitch and move to a
new live streaming platform called Kik
ever since this move he has been on a
tirade of shock value content saying and
doing whatever he wants to go viral and
it's working cake has an extremely
lenient terms of service so he now has
the comfortability to speak his mind
freely without potentially losing his
money and these days he is not holding
back now it's not like Aiden had a
squeaky clean reputation when I
documented his come up two years ago I
covered all of his major controversies
as well as the genuine hard work it took
to reach the top of the live streaming
industry at that point he was definitely
an edgy kid but it seemed like his heart
was in the right place these days his
intentions are unclear so let's take a
look at what happened to Aiden Ross from
streaming with every every major rapper
in the industry losing his girlfriend
making extremely down bad content
meeting Andrew Tate and changing his
entire online Persona forever picking up
where we left off around May of 2021
Aiden was on top of the world he was one
of the top five most subscribed and most
viewed streamers on Twitch averaging
around 100 000 viewers per stream he
just reached 1 million subscribers on
his eight in live YouTube channel which
he treats like his main Channel and he
did a collaboration stream with just
about every mainstream rapper in the
industry it was very clear he was here
to stay and some people didn't like that
those people were known as the poggers
community or as Aiden called them the L
nerds this community is basically
composed of all the top streamers on
Twitch who helped build the platform's
foundation years before twitch was as
popular as it is today poggers is an
emote that people spam in the chat when
something good or funny happens Aiden's
Community is known as the W and L
community that Community is composed of
Aiden's friends and the new wave of
twitch streamers and instead of spamming
poggers the commenters will spam W or l
a couple of top streamers in the poggers
community threw some shade at Aiden and
his viewers his viewers are like the
kids in high school who want to be cool
you know like oh like I like Raph I like
you know like this sort of stuff like
kind of like hypebeastish yeah they're
all very high beastish like like they
think like if Supreme was cool I think
it would be cool sort of thing I go in
there and I I I I I literally have fun
in Aiden Ross's dream because I don't
watch it I think I'm literally just
spamming letters you're like yeah I'm
included www I just spammed them he said
spam W Aiden responded
[Music]
don't don't disrespect my viewers like
that you guys literally have [ __ ]
Hall of Fame nerds Hall of Fame threats
in your chat that spam poggers
omegalo the entire stream bro you guys
are unfunny streamers you guys are not
funny bro you guys are not funny at all
fats
pimple faced four-eyed people
with social problems
watch you guys bro I don't call my I
don't call you guys fans what kind of
conversations do you guys think that
they have fun do you guys think they
just look at each other and say poggers
oh Megalo shoving Omega low in my eyes
like they're weird bro they're weird
followed by a tweet that Aiden sent to
Ludwig you really are sad for coming at
me and my community L nerd go play your
violin Band Geek from there Aiden's
audience went and attacked Ludwig
sending death threats to him and his
girlfriend QT Cinderella this beef was
really silly and definitely overblown it
was solved very quickly when Aiden and
Ludwig both apologized to each other but
it set the standard of how powerful
Aiden's audience is that he could
militarize and accelerate his audience
to defend him in any beef but one day
they would eventually turn on him in the
meantime Aiden was making an insane
amount of money specifically from
gambling his top sponsor was a company
called rubet an online crypto casino
that was paying him at least one million
dollars per month according to a private
conversation that Aiden leaked himself
so the sponsor they they paid me to play
on their website right and then they pay
me an amount to to gamble with however
if I lose the amount I have to withdraw
my own money so Aiden was able to secure
tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars
in profit daily without risking his own
money an average streaming day for Aiden
was online gambling talking to his chat
reacting to videos hanging out with
famous rappers influencers or streamers
and of course being sus
now despite all the success that Aiden
was bringing to Twitch they always found
a way to let him know they won't let him
have too much power during an IRL stream
Aiden was driving his Lamborghini and
reading his twitch chat at the same time
twitch gave him a temporary ban for
using his phone while driving just
because you could really lose the [ __ ]
like quick bro and people I don't know I
just feel horrible
I just [ __ ] up bro [ __ ] up I got
banned on switch guys I didn't get a
anything back yet I think it's a
permanent band I'm gonna peel it I was
100 in the wrong though I was I was at a
red stop light and I was reading twitch
chat off my phone he didn't realize that
his career his relevance his freedom was
always going to be at the mercy of
twitch and following their rules
something that he would ultimately grow
tired of as you can imagine streaming
for five to eight hours per day can be
extremely repetitive and having over 100
000 live viewers expecting you to bring
something fresh and exciting every day
is a lot of pressure an easy way to take
up some time is with drama he started a
fake beef with rice gum to prank their
viewers open up now you want to talk all
that [ __ ] on [ __ ] twitch [ __ ] open up
fake beef or not this [ __ ] is
entertaining just a week after this
Aiden played another prank on his
viewers he did an IRL stream where he
met up with his fans and the cops were
called due to how much chaos there was
on Melrose in Los Angeles Aiden and his
team set up a fake arrest to fool his
viewers but the next day he let
everybody know that it was just a prank
his fans were not happy he's just
starting to fake everything now when the
initial reason why people were drawn to
him was because he was genuine Aiden's
Focus has shifted from being a twitch
streamer to being this viral internet
sensation the whole point of twitch is
that it's raw and organic but he's
bringing this weird YouTube Element to
it if this is really the direction he
wants to go for money and attention so
be it but he has to learn to embrace the
hate that comes with it his viewers were
possibly overreacting a few fake pranks
and they are ready to just write him off
I mentioned this to show how fickle an
audience can be with live streaming
because they spend hours of their time
watching you they develop an
understanding of who they think you are
you do one thing they don't like they
immediately criticize and say you are
changing for the worse balancing this
and twitch's strict rules was eventually
going to give but Aiden went back to a
very classic style of content for him e
dates in these streams Aiden would
typically invite a girl sometimes it
would be a famous Instagram Model A
prawn star or just a generally
attractive girl and he would have his
streamer friends get a minute or two to
talk to the girl and try and win her
over the girl would ask questions they
would ask her questions and she would
slowly eliminate the contestants
basically the twitch version of a
classic dating show still to this day
this is Aiden's most popular type of
content this content eventually upgraded
to IRL dates where he would put a
streamer friend of his on a blind date
with a girl in person this Dynamic was a
lot more realistic because ninety
percent of the things contestants said
on e-dates they wouldn't actually say to
the girl's face but eventually this
would all reach a Tipping Point that
made Aiden want to give up it's not
really the numbers anymore but the
problem is that people make me feel bad
about dropping numbers I think that's a
very big problem I have it gets to me a
lot just because I'm not getting 100K
like I used to it went down from 150 to
like 30 40 50 like 30 40ish now so I I
get to me around October of 2021 Aiden
was losing viewership from 100 000
average viewers to around 30 to 4 40 000
average viewers it's totally normal to
lose a lot of viewership and 30 to 40K
average would make him still an insanely
successful streamer but his audience was
still quick to remind him that he fell
off to make things worse the ethical and
legal implications surrounding his rubat
sponsor was being broken down very
extensively by coffeezilla in a series
called rubette's House of Cards this was
executed so well that it caused a lot of
streamers to abandon their Partnerships
with the company social media users
became more aware of the Shady online
crypto casinos and their tactics to get
people addicted to gambling the ethics
of streamers using their influence to
show their potentially underage viewers
how much fun and excitement comes with
gambling were challenged since these
streamers do not have to gamble with
their own money which is the entire risk
of gambling if they lose they don't
actually lose so they're never able to
show the actual downsides and what
potential catastrophes can happen when
you gamble all of your money away Aiden
announced the world that he was
depressed and needed to move out of La
he was exhausted this was the first time
we had ever really seen Aiden stop
moving at 100 miles per hour at some
point it is impossible to maintain that
level of hype to be that entertaining
for hours on end day in and day out it's
just unsustainable he moved out of the
clout House in La and took his career
back to New York he took a very short
10-day break from streaming before he
realized that he cannot give up he came
back with a bang his first stream back
was a live stream with Lil Uzi vert who
was easily the most famous rapper he had
ever streamed with with a fresh mindset
and another huge milestone he was ready
to grind again he also got a brand new
crypto Casino sponsorship with steak so
gambling was a regular program for him
again also the e-dates were back even
though one of them was about to take an
unexpected turn for the worse Aiden
invited I show speed to do an E day with
ashkash who was the celebrity guest for
the evening but speed took things too
far basically speed threatened to R word
ashkash and I would play the clip so you
can see the context but speed likes to
illegally copyright strike any video
that has him featured in it this got
speed permanently banned on Twitch while
he was just a guest on Aiden's stream
this controversy was huge but it was
pretty clear that Aiden was not at fault
here even though a lot of people put the
blame on him speed's actions didn't
fully represent how the e-dates normally
work all this did was bring more
attention to Aiden's streams and made
the e-dates even more popular most
streamers benefit from controversy
people get really angry flood them with
casual viewers and then forget about it
a week later it's The Sweet Spot of
being controversial but not pissing off
the masses and more importantly twitch
where Aiden was constantly balancing and
he's damn good at it he knows exactly
where to be edgy where he can make it
seem like he has no filter to excite his
audience I just turned this [ __ ]
gay he likes sucking nah bro you're not
even two bars
he knows when I dumb so his audience can
bully him
and that
I gotta be tripping
is this book is this maybe years ago how
is Atlanta all over here and he is an
absolute Mastermind when it comes to
virality however one of his beefs he
almost took it too far that was with the
rapper NBA young boy which started when
a young boy fan page liked a photo that
Aiden's girlfriend Pammy posted Aiden
didn't believe it was real he spent two
minutes in straight silence staring at
this wondering why NBA young boy could
be potentially romanticizing his
girlfriend his audience convinced him
that it was real even though it wasn't
so Aiden conducted a master plan that
involved setting up one of his friends
with NBA young boys X Jania while Jania
was on an Instagram live Aiden requested
to join and asked if his friend pariet
could spit some game to her a bunch of
people screen recorded the videos and
posted them online saying that Aiden was
flirting with young boy's ex so young
boy decided to make a lethal threat to
Aiden in a song the same day
Aiden responded to the diss track with a
fake apology and a meme before quickly
realizing the next day what type of beef
he was truly getting into Aiden is
obviously not from the streets doesn't
live a dangerous life and probably knew
deep down that no real gangster is going
to hurt him but still he knew he
couldn't poke the bear too much because
with young boy's reputation it wasn't
worth it for Aiden to take any chances
and eventually he apologized and stopped
trolling the rapper it was either this
beef that went too far or just him
feeling generally exhausted again but
around the end of 2021 and beginning of
2022 Aiden slowed down a bit every month
in 2022 his views just kept dropping
even though he was streaming pretty
consistently sticking to his gambling
reactions and e-dates he wasn't doing
any viral stunts nor getting into
unnecessary controversy just satisfying
his fans and chilling like every other
streamer despite his more relaxed
approach to Twitch in April of 2022 he
found himself in another big controversy
Aiden was becoming a victim of DDOS
attacks these attacks can occur when a
hacker gets his IP address either by
knowing where he lives in real life or
potentially if Aiden leaked that
information then the hackers have the
ability to overload his internet so much
that his stream lags and makes him
unable to stream Aiden was trying to
fulfill his online gambling requirements
one day when a hacker kept taking down
his stream out of frustration he called
one of his friends your rage who is
another very popular twitch streamer
Aiden didn't realize rage was alive when
he said this he did you again he got you
again
I like this kitchen oh yeah
I censored the word but he said the
homophobic F slur Aiden was not making
fun of a gay person he was angry at
someone who was hacking him but the
context did not matter and Aiden was
about to get banned at first your rage
tried to say that it was his friend from
high school that said the slur and not
Aiden and still to this day they never
fully admit that it was Aiden this is
all alleged after all all we really have
is just that audio but there isn't a
real reason to believe it wasn't Aiden
and after the clip was blown up on
Twitter by Jake lucky Aiden received his
longest band of all time over 40 days
Aiden was banned from twitch funny
enough this actually wasn't huge news
Aiden had been banned many times before
and nobody knew how long this would be
and most people just took his side
because they didn't think he had any
true bad intentions usually Aiden
comments on his bands but this time he
just kind of disappeared for six weeks
when he returned to streaming after his
long ban in June he had about 70 000
average viewers the long twitch band did
not hurt his numbers at all in fact it
probably helped him giving the fans a
break allowed them to be hungry for more
content as if things couldn't get any
better he got blessed with a whole new
content Lane that he could capitalize on
Andrew Tate Andrew Tate was the most
searched for man in the world in July of
2022 basically overnight this man was
everywhere clips of him that were
causing controversy were at the top of
everyone's algorithm on every social
media platform despite tape being
everywhere there was still a large
mystery to him was he just a character
was this just a meme is he actually
filthy rich is he a criminal with
massive streamers like hassanabi and xqc
denouncing Tate's ideals Aiden was the
largest streamer willing to talk to him
Andrew Tate and Aiden's collab stream
would become Aiden's most popular stream
in his whole career well at least in
terms of YouTube views every single
person on the internet was talking about
Tate most people were bashing His World
Views but Aiden's Community loved him
and Aiden took a liking to Tate as well
in the beginning Tate was mostly farming
Aiden's viewers to promote his Hustler's
University course and Aiden was just
picking his brain for the content but
Andrew quickly realized that Aiden was
reluctant to say how he truly felt on
certain subjects citing that Aiden was
afraid the Matrix would cancel him which
to some degree is true all content
creators need to abide by censorship
standards which can be dangerous to
break even I get tired of censoring
myself they stream together often after
the first couple were a success and Tate
became somewhat of a mentor to Aiden bro
you got like the best [ __ ] mentality
like brain like ethic I've ever seen in
my [ __ ] life what the [ __ ] everything
you're saying is just like that you said
is literally facts I agree with like 100
of everything however it wasn't long
before Andrew Tate was banned from
almost every social media platform which
was when Aiden needed him the most as of
right now guys
um I am no longer in a relationship
I am single Aiden and his longtime
girlfriend Pammy broke up this affected
him tremendously and he didn't talk
about the details too much publicly but
just said they decided to go their
separate ways immediately after he
started doing e-dates where he was the
one that a bunch of women were trying to
get a date with every day he had only
fans models and women fawning over him
to boost his ego his fans loved it and
they saw a new spark in Aiden single
Aiden's content is 10 times better not
even just for the content with girls but
he just seems more energetic and fun in
general Pammy was really holding Aiden
back it's crazy how great his content is
again however Lil uzivert disagreed he
thought Aiden should get his girl back
up with that girl
I know bro on top of that twitch also
banned gambling from their platform
which most people saw as a net positive
for the app but streamers like Aiden who
were raking in millions of dollars per
month from the site were Furious the
only type of content Aiden had was
related to his relationship status he
would swipe through girls on Tinder
bring only fans girls on stream and kiss
them on the mouth which some people saw
as his most down bad moment but his
audience thought he was super lit once
he asked one of the girls to be his
girlfriend his chat started to change
their opinion never thought I would see
Aiden in such a low spot especially in
streaming bring back the old times dear
friend Andrew needs to save his son just
like with all of Aiden's content it's
hard to tell what is real and what is
just a viral stunt this very well could
have been knowing his own Community
would make fun of him it was likely all
for entertainment because he just hopped
from one girl to another I was just
curious Nadia uh you know what I'm
saying I'm in L.A right now do you want
to go on a date with me
a date a day only a fun day
because they're saying you know what no
no no I'm not coming back stop Karina
come on
however something that was very real was
his ex-girlfriend starting and only fans
which obviously bothered him it kind of
seemed like they were both battling to
make each other jealous Aiden's fans
were saying that she hit rock bottom but
they were just trying to protect Aiden's
feelings because I'm sure he wasn't
excited about her new career and just
when Aiden needed him the most the top G
returned after a long Hiatus and
immediately questions Aiden's new
lifestyle Aiden what are you doing with
your life
come on bro already off the Jump you
don't want to catch up hey how's it
going what's the point what's the point
in catching up with you when I basically
know the answer you're seeing in Miami
doing hedonistic no sitting around doing
drugs drinking doing absolutely nothing
important hang around with a bunch of
losers that's what you're doing viewers
shifted their Alliance to Tate and they
realized he was right about Aiden's
lifestyle but Aiden didn't listen he
kept living his dopamine-boosting
pleasure-filled lifestyle eventually he
would fly to Dubai to meet Andrew Tate
in person which seemed to be the
Catalyst to some real change Aiden did
his classic performative suspect humor
but Tate convinced Aiden to get into
shape and try to make Better Life
Choices he came back to the USA on a
mission now turning his body
transformation into content they made a
deal that if take could do 150 push-ups
in five minutes Aiden had to shave his
head bald then after Andrew did it with
ease Aiden asked for Redemption if he
did 30 push-ups in a row he could keep
his hair these were the push-ups
come on
come on
even though it took him three weeks he
eventually shaved his head bald just a
couple days before he did it Andrew Tate
got arrested in Romania after being
investigated for potential human
trafficking crimes Aiden stood his
ground and said that he supports Andrew
Tate and does not believe he is guilty
whereas the entirety of the internet
celebrated Andrew Tate's imprisonment
but just one week into his bald's new
year he randomly got a seven-day ban on
Twitch again not really clear as to why
if you haven't noticed by now twitch
often doesn't State why people get
banned they just remind those creators
don't get too comfortable I just got Ben
on switch
um
I'm not as mad and devastated as I would
be
um you know a year or two ago because I
think I'm at a point in my mind where I
realize I trust God and everything
happens for a reason it seems like Aiden
getting banned throughout his career has
been good for him it allows him to at
least slow down and rethink everything
he does usually after his bands he
returns as the best version of himself
and his fans love it and this time that
couldn't be more true in January of 2023
he returned to Twitch taking his fitness
journey as serious as possible telling
his followers that he was not having sex
doing drugs or drinking alcohol he was
going to fully focus on bettering his
health this year however some people
thought this lifestyle change was a
warning sign hasanabi another massive
twitch streamer mostly known for his
political commentary predicted that
Aiden was going to turn into another
sneako he keeps going down this pipeline
he's gonna turn into like another sneako
he's just gonna be banned from
everything he just needs to save himself
it's good that he's working out
it's good that he's like bettering
himself these are Concepts that I'm on
board with but this like nofap weird
right wing [ __ ]
is not good Hassan clearly believes that
working out and pushing a positive and
healthy lifestyle is good but he
predicted that Aiden would take it too
far that this red pill nonsense
typically leads young men to spiral into
far right-wing belief systems that he
thinks are generally bad this was
definitely an aggressive take and was
probably based on the fact that Andrew
Tate was Aiden's Mentor in fact Tate
announced that Aiden will be one of his
five allowed visitors to prison however
Aiden disappeared
um I basically got a call I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna say specifically who was
but you know who you are and you and you
basically said hey man if you keep doing
controversial stuff and you keep saying
certain things and you keep basically
you know promoting um certain things on
your stream we're gonna have to take you
down uh indefinitely Aiden believes that
his new lifestyle choices were the
reason that twitch was trying to silence
him it seemed like twitch was okay with
promoting gambling alcohol consumption
prawn addiction and a degenerative
lifestyle but when he tried to better
himself and convince his audience to
improve their mental and physical health
that he was being threatened this was
the last time Aiden was going to let
twitch hold their power over his head so
he announced to the world that he would
start streaming on Kik
so guys
time going there I want to feel it out
and I want to make sure my community
followed it too
so I'll still stream on Twitch if that's
what you guys want but what I will say
is this I'm going to kick this week kick
is a live streaming platform that looks
and operates almost exactly like twitch
although it's not very clear who owns
Kik there's a lot of evidence that
supports that Edward Craven one of the
founders of steak.com is a part owner of
the site another part owner is train
wrecks TV who was the largest gambling
streamer on Twitch Cake's main
differentiating factors is that they pay
their streamers 95 of their subscriber
money and kick takes five percent they
also have extremely lenient terms of
service so when Aiden said he could do
whatever he wanted he wasn't lying he
went to kick stream the Super Bowl which
is dangerously illegal and even pulled
up the front page of pron hub while
streaming to tens of thousands of people
mostly underage kids as if it couldn't
get any worse the chat is totally
unfiltered so the comment section is
flooded with just about every racial
slur you could ever imagine the stream
was clipped and went extremely viral on
Twitter everyone agreed that this was a
stupid decision and Aiden ultimately
apologized for it citing his on
hypocrisy since he no longer watches
prawn and thinks it's very unhealthy
plus he's been profiting off prawn stars
and of models for years now he went back
and forth from streaming on Twitch then
back to Kik for about 10 days in
February it was during this time where
he was negotiating an extremely large
exclusive deal with Kik similar to when
ninjas signed to the Microsoft owned
mixer streaming platform for between 20
to 30 million dollars in 2019. and
they're giving me tens of M's if I go
full time if you guys if you guys you
know if I go full time and Equity train
wreck said that Aiden's deal is
complicated and has a bundle of things
in his contract that isn't just a
streaming deal but he did confirm that
the dollar amount is the largest
streaming deal of all time which would
mean that Aiden's take-home payout would
have to be at a minimum of 30 million
dollars once he secured this deal he was
permanently banned on Twitch forever he
was given a reason that he did not make
public but he hinted that it could have
been related to things he was doing on
his Kik live streams Aiden would not be
the first example of an unfair ban or an
unknown permanent ban and since this was
his eighth time being banned in total I
don't think anyone was really surprised
so now that Aiden has secured
generational wealth and no longer has to
abide by any rules and restrictions he
basically has full freedom to say and do
whatever he wants so he decided to
finally State how he feels about trans
people there are only two genders was
tweeted which got over half a million
likes 50 million impressions and 3
million engagement I'm not coming at the
gay community
I'm coming at the cancel culture Aiden
claims that his comment was not
transphobic he was using this as an
example of how cancel culture will try
to take you down if you say something
they disagree with his comment was not
very edgy but he knew people would freak
out and they did he then attacked other
streamers
streamers I'm gonna clap back and
respond to
stop this [ __ ] cat bro you don't give
a [ __ ] you are signed under twitch
contract to which xqc replied the best
that's like going to a spot like going
to a church but without a Praying
God isn't real God no no gods are here
LOL what are you guys doing it gods are
there long and then they say am I wrong
am I wrong though it doesn't really make
sense why Aiden is doing political hot
takes he has no intention of doing
actual research or trying to attack any
complicated problem his biggest rebuttal
is that people on the internet need to
go outside because their reality cannot
simply be the same reality he is living
in his next hot take was
to all you guys I get to pick your
pronouns my pronouns is kill slash them
okay which was followed by an apology
and I just want it from the bottom of my
heart I apologize for absolutely [ __ ]
nothing okay
he says which was followed by this
statement a few days later I just don't
the only way about this committee is you
guys are homophobic and transphobic I
don't [ __ ] with that because y'all don't
know what it's like
you know people you just don't know what
it's like you're not in there you're not
in their shoes so basically it's tough
to know how he really feels about
anything so think to yourself is Aiden's
behavior on Kick really all that
different from the stuff we showed in
the beginning and throughout this video
his whole rise to fame was because he is
an edgy teenager all of his success came
from him being edgy toxic or playing
dumb he hasn't changed he's just 22 now
more popular and extremely rich it's
understandable why people get angry at
him but his behavior shouldn't be
unexpected it's constantly contradicting
himself pretending to be dumber than he
is walking back on things that he says
telling people to not take him seriously
and that everything he does is just
jokes and it's probably all just because
he is Bored his streams consist of him
reacting to stuff on the internet
talking to girls with their chests
exposed playing video games and gambling
even though he will tell you that you
need to go outside get off the Internet
only fans girls are poison and gambling
is an addictive habit he likely gets
bored in his mansion and when he's bored
he'll say something to get a rise out of
people play it off like it's just a joke
apologize and then rinse and repeat he's
never going to be canceled he's never
going to be de-platformed and he has
made enough money that he doesn't
actually have to work another day in his
life he is going to do whatever he wants
and it's up for you to decide if you
want to give him any more of your
attention
