hey adin just see how good the videos are going also just checking up on the status for all the bloggers of YouTube of yours. Knowledge 🩸 2601:204:DD00:9F50:B975:B485:564B:A72F (talk) 03:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article bias

This article is an advertisement for Adin Ross. I had never heard of him before today when I saw a news article detailing his accidental leak of his crypto wallet, which revealed he had been paid millions of dollars (per week) in sponsorship deals from companies whose games Adin played and reviewed positively without telling his audience about his financial relationship.

This is the kind of encyclopedic information I expect included in an unbiased article on Wikipedia. What I found is instead a series of minor interactions with other streamers and an account of his career that is almost entirely one-sided. This article is better suited to a forum post or a wiki-fan page than Wikipedia.

Please consider removing this article completely until an objective version is available. How is a poorly written, biased article better than nothing? 2603:7000:8500:11D0:B5E2:C63:7E6:F993 (talk) 13:18, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, its why I signed up just to talk about this. The entire article seems to be poorly formatted, amd riddled with unverified sources.

On top of this the sections within the article seem to not make sense an example of this is a paragraph in the early life:

"Ross revealed on a No Jumper interview with Adam22 that at 12 years old he was stabbed in his sleep by a mentally unstable relative. Ross had nine stitches in his arm while the relative went to jail before being admitted to a mental hospital"

this happened in 2021, it doesn't really tell much about his early life, it doesn't really add anything to the article and seems random.

another example under Career:

In December 2022, Ross was in talks to interview Kanye West following his controversial remarks about Jewish people, but decided not to do so after West reportedly told Ross on a phone call: "you Jews aren't going to tell me what I can and can't say".

doesn't seem to be about his career at all, seems to be completely out of place.

the Controversies section seems to also be written and formatted poorly, with Three clarification needed, one of which cuts the letter E off of evidence.

final points: along with all the sections having issues, Adin ross also has Videography that has 5 roles in a one year span. I think while adin ross is a notable person in streaming, the article clearly needs to be fixed or removed completely as it seems to me like it was entirely created just cause adin is known figure in the streaming space, not because adin is a widely known public figure.

False Copyright Claiming

Controversies

There are several clarification needed under this section, one that even cuts off the last letter of a word. I think the entire section should be rewritten as it seems to be poorly formatted as well as having too many unverified sources that should either be removed or find the clarifications needed.

change the info, since its 2024 now, I think it would be better to update the bio. As of Jan 11 2024 (EST), Adin ross has 4.09 million subscribers on his YouTube page, and you should remove Roblox and minecraftfrom the gaming category since he barely plays it.

Partly done: YouTube stats have been updated, but Adin's Twitch details should remain the same as his account is no longer active. At some point these may be replaced by a Kick.com infobox to add detail on his streaming over there. EphemeralPerpetuals (they/them) (talk) 16:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adin Ross Controversies: Live Stream Request to "Slit Brother's Throat" for $20,000.

The following should be added to the controversies section:

On March 2, 2023, Adin Ross again faced backlash for asking a fan to "slit his brother's throat" for money during a live stream, offering $20,000 for the act.[34]

Vulgar Languge

This is a globally read platform. What apparently passes for everyday language in the USA does not constitute freedom to use such vulgar language in civilised countries. Moitraanak (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kanye West "interview" speculation

This looks like it could become contentious and is being reverted. I think it is important to lay the groundwork for understanding how this article should be presented, as streamer communities are known to promote the activities of their members beyond what recognition it deserves. A case in point is this speculated Kanye West interview. It has no historical value because it did not happen. An interview that was speculated (by Ross himself - and not the other party?) and never went ahead is not noteworthy. As I have said in an edit comment, it would be just as significant if Ross had claimed he planned to interview Santa Claus but it didn't come together. Perhaps he has thought, or even talked about, interviewing the King of England or going back in time and interviewing Einstein. These would be just as relevant inclusions in this article as would commentary about him wanting to interview Kanye and it never happening. Given the interview didn't go ahead, I am suspicious that the whole speculation was self-promotion for Ross meant only to get his name in the headlines. Essentially, I think biographies should - while accepting exceptional circumstances, say a planned interview that was cancelled because the interviewee was assassinated - be limited to parts of the subject's life that actually happened. The speculated Kanye West interview is a good example of something that does not make the grade. 121.200.6.137 (talk) 12:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I largely agree, the sourcing on streamers is not great because the covering orgs can (and do) pump out articles on every small thing they say or every purported event/activity. I think the standard needs to be a little higher, particularly for an event that didn't end up happening. Also note that the West reportedly told Ross on a phone call: "you Jews aren't going to tell me what I can and can't say" portion feels a bit COATRACK-y.

Adin Ross was born to Jewish parents in Coral Springs,Florida. He has 3 older sisters. He has wanted to be part of the gangsta rap community for some time and enjoying his career now. It was this, or go to law school, and he is happier with "living the life." TherealHarvey (talk) 05:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
