CREATOR ECONOMY NEWSLETTER


Being controversial online has always been a lucrative way to brand yourself, and Adin Ross is taking it to a new level. 

As reporter Steven Asarch shares this week, in early March, Ross was banned from Twitch for what the platform called “unmoderated hateful conduct.” His desire to consistently push the “edgy” envelope with misogyny and transphobia and his obsession with the ideology of Andrew Tate caused his star to plummet.
