Gross Gore quits streaming weeks after claiming he\u2019d be \u201cworld\u2019s biggest streamer\u201d YouTube: Gross GoreAli \u2018Gross Gore\u2019 Larsen said he was going to become the \u201cworld\u2019s biggest streamer\u201d on YouTube after his March Twitch ban. Now, the former League of Legends star is quitting yet again, claiming \u201cthere\u2019s no hope for it\u201d and he\u2019s \u201cwasting his life\u201d. Gross Gore tried to reclaim his Twitch glory on YouTube after being permanently banned from the Amazon-owned platform for \u201cadult sexual exploitation\u201d. However, just two months into his quest to make it big \u2014 even bigger than he was during his peak as a League of Legends streamer in 2015 \u2014 he\u2019s abandoned the task, citing mental health issues and a lack of love for streaming. He claimed that the time he\u2019s spent streaming since his Twitch ban has gone \u201cdown the drain\u201d, and that he\u2019s \u201cwasting [his] life trying to become a streamer on YouTube.\u201d \u201cAm I quitting streaming? I\u2019m not going to say I\u2019m quitting, but I don\u2019t want to stream anymore. There\u2019s no point. It\u2019s never going up, it\u2019s always going down. There\u2019s no hope for it. YouTube is not made for streaming,\u201d he said in a June 29 YouTube video. I’m going to be the biggest streamer in the world one day & I’ll do it on YouTube. Remember this tweet. \u2014 Gross Gore (@Gross_Gorex) May 29, 2021 Larsen, who has been open about his struggles with depression and bipolar, said his fall from Twitch grace left him \u201cin a really bad place\u201d. \u201cI hate being stuck in doors, sitting down, pretending everything is going to be okay. There\u2019s going to be people commenting saying \u2018how lucky I am and how privileged I should be to stream in front of 500, 600, 700 viewers.\u2019 \u201cBut you\u2019ve got to remember, going from 10,000 viewers to 700 is demoralizing. Just talking about it makes me depressive.\u201d \u201cWhen I\u2019m streaming League of Legends, it\u2019s going nowhere. My brain is not getting the release it needs to feel good about myself. I\u2019m not achieving anything, I\u2019m currently stuck in Diamond 1, and I don\u2019t enjoy streaming League of Legends.\u201d While Larsen believes he could have \u201ceasily [made] a million followers\u201d on Twitch (he was at 502,000 at the time of his ban), his ban put a stop to that climb. A return wasn\u2019t on the regards either. \u201cI appealed to Twitch three months ago, and it was denied. Even if I do get unbanned, what\u2019s the point? I could sit here and beg Twitch and meet people and try and work my way back in, but what\u2019s the point,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point in crawling back to Twitch just to get rebanned again because people out there get jealous and kick up a shitstorm which will lead to nothing.\u201d After stating he was over $13,000 in debt to tax authorities and \u201cfinancially f**ked\u201d, he said he\u2019s going to continue in his content creating quest \u2014 just not in streaming. \u201cI\u2019m going to work on my YouTube channel. I want to post content all the time. I\u2019m just going to post content of anything \u2014 me going out in the Supra, me going carspotting. That\u2019s what I want to do. \u201cI\u2019m going to focus on becoming a YouTuber like when I was a kid. I want to become known in the YouTube community \u2014 not the streaming community. All I care about is my YouTube channel.\u201d Gross Gore\u2019s YouTube channel has 350,000 subscribers as of the time of publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
