Taking a look at what the streaming community speculated about Adin Ross' eighth ban on Twitch

A thread on r/LivestreamFail about the streamer's ban was brimming with fan speculations. According to Redditor u/willietrom, Ross has been banned from the platform indefinitely and claimed that his suspension was "likely" the result of a contract violation. They said:

"Given that it's indefinite, it's more likely for contract violation, although maybe he does have enough priors for a 24-hour to turn into an indefinite."

Another Redditor, u/3mberLight66617, concurred with this take. They also mentioned Ross "publicly" announcing the platform switch while still under contract with Twitch. They went on to say that streamers usually announce a platform switch after their contract ends:

"It could be (a) breach of contract; he is literally saying publicly (that) he is going to switch platform, while since under a Twitch contract (I assume). I'm no contract expert but it seems like Twitch can ban him and withhold, even, take back money paid to him - depends on what is in his contract with Twitch. Edit: This is why you'll see streamers move AFTER their contract is up."

Meanwhile, a community member claimed that Adin Ross' suspension was due to him violating Twitch's Terms of Service (ToS). They recalled the Los Angeles-based personality claiming that he would be watching explicit content on "another platform":
