Adin Ross asks his viewers why they would ever work a 9-5 job

by

Adin Ross, a popular streamer, ponders the reason behind his young fan base choosing traditional 9-5 jobs, suggesting that supporting his streams could be a more appealing alternative.

In today’s time when influencers reign supreme, certain content producers amass significant wealth by simply recording themselves on camera. This is the life for Adin Ross, formerly a banned Twitch personality who has since become a successful Kick streamer.

Through live streaming to a large audience primarily consisting of younger viewers, Ross earns a substantial income. For example, during the month of April alone, he brought in close to half a million dollars prior to considering donations, subscriptions, and earnings from sponsors.

Currently, he’s persuading his followers to join a video-sharing venture, implying they could earn money as well. This, in turn, leads him to ponder why anyone would opt for traditional employment instead.

Adin Ross questions why fans would work a normal 9-5 job

It’s clear from a notice posted on Ross’ Kick chat that people are encouraged to create clips from live streams and share them on social media platforms. If a clip garners 100,000 viewers, the creator earns $50 USD. Achieving a million views results in a payout of $500 USD, as per the message.

As a dedicated gamer on Kick, I’ve got an important point to share: To qualify for any benefits or recognition here, my account should solely feature clips from Kick streamers. Promoting content from other platforms isn’t part of the game plan.

It seems like Ross might be ready to cover this expense on his own, but so far, we haven’t found any proof to support that claim.

On July 24, 2025, Ross enthusiastically presented the plan to an audience of 60,000 people who were watching live. He spoke about it as follows:

*On July 24th, 2025, Ross shared his idea with a lively crowd of 60,000 spectators who were tuned in live.*

I’m not trying to come off as strange, but why do you all stick to traditional 9-5 jobs when there’s an opportunity to earn $50 for every 100,000 views?

“Like, my clippers make more money than 9-5 workers. I’m not even trolling.”

Since social media algorithms can’t be intentionally influenced, there’s an element of chance involved in amassing the necessary views for payment. To accumulate over 100,000 views within a week and surpass a US minimum wage earner’s income (without considering tips), a content creator typically needs at least three clips to go viral.

It’s important to note that clip-farming isn’t a novel concept. However, when you notice an abundance of clips focused on Kick appearing repeatedly across social media feeds on platforms like X (previously Twitter), TikTok, and others, it becomes quite clear why this is happening. These platforms are essentially being used to influence viewers who might not be aware, turning them into unknowing promoters for marketing purposes.

In the past few years, many online influencers have faced criticism for claiming that their work as streamers is harder than typical 9-to-5 jobs.

Last year, Ross joined the discussion, expressing his view that what was being said was incredibly foolish, stating, “It’s one of the most asinine things you could possibly utter. Are you preferring to be a game-streamer or have a typical job? Precisely.
