It reached number one on the platform and was then uploaded to his Twitter. [9] At around the same time, Ross began hosting "e-date" streams, in which people try to find dates over Discord which resulted in further growth to his Twitch account.In February 2021, he became the first creator revealed to be part of the Clout Gang 2.0 and moved into the Wizza house with FaZe Banks, Mike Majlak, Sommer Ray and RiceGum.On April 4, 2021, Adin Ross's Twitch channel was targeted by an "bot attack" which caused an increase of bot followers caused his number of followers at the time to surpass 3 million. Before this occurred, Adin had already gained more than 1 million subscribers on his channel, and was attracting a minimum of 30,000 live viewers per stream, according to TwitchBeat.In May 2021, Ross announced he would donate 20% of his Twitch revenue to charity. Ross divided it into 10 percent of the proceeds going to LGBTQIA charities and 10% to his followers. A further act of kindness in June 2022 saw him donate $10,000 to streamer Tony "RSGloryAndGold" Winchester, who had just announced his brain cancer diagnosis. A month later, on the 12th of October 2022, Winchester died.In December 2022, Ross was in talks to speak with Kanye West following his controversial comments regarding Jewish people, but decided to not take the opportunity following an incident in which West reportedly told Ross in a telephone call: "you Jews aren't going to say what I am able to and can't say"
