Adin Ross Blasts Twitch Over Creator Revenue Split in Fiery Rant
Alright, so this has been making waves lately—Adin Ross, who’s never shy about stirring the pot, just went off on Twitch again. This time, it was in response to fellow streamer N3on signing a deal with the platform that includes Twitch’s much-publicized 70-30 revenue split.
It all started during a livestream on July 23, where Adin was watching a clip of N3on hyped up about his new Twitch deal. N3on was clearly ecstatic, shouting things like “I’m f**king rich! And I got the 70-30!”—basically flaunting what Twitch is calling an exclusive contract where the creator keeps 70% of subscription revenue instead of the typical 50%.

Now, here’s where things escalated. Adin Ross—who, by the way, holds a stake in Kick, Twitch’s main rival—didn’t hold back. He abruptly paused the clip and started going off on Twitch’s monetization model. According to him, even the so-called “improved” 70-30 split is still deeply unfair. He went so far as to describe it using a strong and controversial word, saying it’s still exploitation—just dressed up differently. His point? Even if Twitch gives creators a larger chunk of sub revenue, it still takes hefty cuts through other avenues like ads and brand deals. So, creators might be fooled into thinking they’re winning, when in reality, Twitch is still making the lion’s share.
What makes this even more interesting is that Adin clarified—he’s not mad at N3on personally. Despite the strong language and fiery delivery, he said he genuinely wishes N3on well and hopes he thrives on Twitch. He emphasized, “If N3on’s happy, I don’t give a f**k,” and even mentioned that N3on would still be gambling on Kick anyway, so it’s not like he’s gone forever.
This whole exchange just underscores the ongoing battle between streaming platforms like Twitch, Kick, and even YouTube. Each one’s trying to lure top talent with better deals, more transparency, and creator-friendly policies. And while Twitch is trying to retain creators with a 70-30 split, many—like Ross—feel it’s still not enough, especially when Kick is out here offering a 95-5 split.
So yeah, it’s not just drama. It’s a spotlight on how creators are rethinking where they stream—and how much they're really getting paid for the audiences they build.
