Adin Ross Viewer Drives Car Into a Lake for Money
06.03.2024 - 02:23 / gamerant.com / Luke Dammann
A group of kids found themselves being questioned by police after driving their car into a lake during a stream hosted by former Twitch streamer Adin Ross. Popular livestreamer Aidin Ross tasked fans with insane challenges during a recent stream, which quickly devolved into chaos. Ross promised to reward fans with cash if they completed certain tasks, but things quickly got out of hand after several kids drove their car into a lake, prompting local authorities to arrive on the scene.
Adin Ross began his live-streaming career back in 2018 on Twitch, slowly but surely accumulating a dedicated fanbase, initially focusing on video games like NBA 2K before breaking out into a wide variety of content. Ross ranks as one of the world's most successful live-streamers, raking in millions across various platforms like Twitch and Kick.
Many stunts were performed during the hectic livestream, something Ross is notorious for, but a group of boys hailing from Canada took things to the extreme by driving their car into a lake. The group was promised an unconfirmed sum of money for the stunt. According to Sportskeeda, the boys stated they understood the risks associated with a stunt like this, also saying what they were doing was «satirical.» Clips of the livestream went viral across social media, with Twitter user Cxpium sharing a clip that was taken directly from the stream. The clip shows the moments the group drove the car into the water, as well as the aftermath involving multiple police officers.
Police quickly arrive on the scene, and the clip ends with one of the boys talking with an officer. All of the kids involved in the stunt appeared to make it out without any serious injuries. However, it has not been confirmed if the group received any payment for the stunt from Ross himself. This is far from the first major controversy Adin Ross has faced, with the streamer getting banned from Twitch a total of eight different times. Ross' most recent ban was issued in February 2023 due to «hateful conduct» after the streamer revealed his Kick chat was filled to the brim with racist and antisemitic messages. This ban was permanent, forcing Ross to move to the popular Twitch alternative Kick. However, Ross believes that Twitch may be looking at lifting this ban in the near future.
Kick prides itself on being less strict than its competitors like Twitch, stating that the platform allows creators to «express themselves freely and produce outstanding content suitable for a mature audience.» The company goes to great lengths to acknowledge bad behavior and states that the platform realized free speech does not act as a shield for hate speech. Thanks to Kick, Adin Ross has developed a massive community, reaching over 60,000

Lypertex X Headphone Zone PurePlay Z3 Review: Outstanding value for money
Lypertex X Headphone Zone PurePlay Z3 Review: The true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds market in India has a boatload of options for every need and budget. Doesn't matter if you're looking to buy earbuds for a gaming experience that requires low latency and clear mics, or purely for the auditory experience, there is an ocean of TWS earbuds that you can go for. That said, it can be tricky when looking for the perfect earbuds for you. Most of the budget TWS earbuds come with flashy LED lights, which although look pleasing to the eye, do not do anything for the mediocre listening experience they provide. In a saturated TWS market, brands such as Oppo and OnePlus have made quite a name for offering the best listening experience and a wide range of features, all under Rs. 6000.

Apple Silicon Equivalent To Four M3 Ultra SoCs With A Theoretical 536 Billion Transistors Was ‘Nearly Finished’ For The Self-Driving Car Project
Apple’s ‘Project Titan’ was the company’s self-driving car ambition that had an estimated $10 billion invested in the venture. After a decade of rash decisions, delays, and frequent leadership changes, the autonomous vehicle development was axed entirely. In addition to the ludicrous expenditure, the efforts of various teams, including the Apple Silicon, went up in smoke, as these individuals were nearly finished with a custom chipset that was equal to not one, but a whopping four M2 Ultra SoCs, which is Apple’s most powerful in-house silicon to date.
