Adin Ross reveals what needs to change for Kick to succeed YouTube: Adin LiveAdin Ross has revealed that Kick\u2019s biggest names need to be more positive and focus on \u201cspreading love\u201d for the platform to succeed in its power struggle with Twitch. In a discussion with fellow content creators Akademiks and Sneako, Adin outlined the mentality that Kick streamers needed going forward, which he said he realized after reflecting on his recent controversies. Adin is one of the biggest names on Kick and has tried to recruit influencers like Sneako to the site multiple times. Now, it looks like he\u2019s fleshed out his view of what the ideal Kick streamer looks like a bit more. Adin Ross says Kick streamers need to \u201clead by example\u201d In the discussion with Sneako and Akademiks, Adin used his recent behavior as an example of the kind of content Kick should move away from, saying that putting \u201cnegative energy\u201d into the internet was not sustainable. He said: \u201cI\u2019m going to tell you right now: That\u2019s what Kick needs right now. They need one of their faces to lead by example, and do great and big things and bless people, and just spread love. Because I\u2019m telling you, that\u2019s what it\u2019s about in this world. \u201cSo I understand my persona on the internet is snobby at the moment. I get it. But that\u2019s not who I am personally. I love everyone around me.\u201d Adin also addressed his video on opioid addiction, which he posted on Tuesday, and how he plans to pave the way for other streamers to make more optimistic content. \u201cI was giving out negative energy this past month, and I\u2019m sick of that sh*t. I don\u2019t want that sh*t. It was creeping up on me. Every day I didn\u2019t want to get out of bed. I was depressed as f*ck. \u201cIt all started with insecurity and ego. And it\u2019s stupid as f*ck that I had a void in my heart and I filled it with a cup. That\u2019s why I\u2019m letting everyone know. It\u2019s deeper than it sounds.\u201d While Kick has been making headlines for its rapid acquisition of big talent, such as GMHikaru, it\u2019s still struggling to assert itself in the Twitch-dominated streaming industry. Another big name, Heelmike, recently came under fire for taking what appears to be cocaine on-stream. Perhaps Adin\u2019s advice could be the turning point for a streaming platform that still defines itself by being an alternative to Twitch.
