Twitch CEO reveals why Adin Ross was kicked out of TwitchCon

 During a live stream, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy revealed the actual reason behind Adin Ross's expulsion from TwitchCon, clearing up speculation surrounding the incident.

The TwitchCon 2023 event in Las Vegas, attended by popular content creators and fans, wasn't devoid of drama. Adin Ross was ejected for supposedly "crashing" the event with a group of smaller creators, all adorned in Kick t-shirts—merchandise associated with Twitch's major competitor. This occurrence led many to assume it as the cause for his removal.

Clancy addressed the matter during a recent livestream, responding to a question posed by a viewer about the incident. The viewer inquired about the ban of four individuals wearing competitor platform shirts, who were subsequently asked to leave and had their Twitch accounts banned.

Clancy promptly clarified, stating, "It had nothing to do with their t-shirts." He explained that the group was removed because they "fraudulently obtained the tickets," an act that violated Twitch's policies. According to Clancy, the individuals utilized false accounts to secure access, breaching the agreement not to misrepresent their identities when obtaining tickets.

In response, Adin Ross contested Clancy's assertion, maintaining that the t-shirts were indeed a factor in their removal. Ross also questioned the rationale behind banning the entire group for ticket fraud when some members were Twitch partners at the time.

Despite the differing perspectives, viewers commended Clancy for his transparency and community engagement during the stream. Messages in the chat expressed appreciation for his candidness, with one person acknowledging, "Appreciate you being transparent and doing this stream!" Another viewer thanked Clancy for the clarification, acknowledging the emotional responses sometimes associated with incidents involving other streamers.
