Ragnesh “N3on” stunned streaming circles on July 28, 2025, when he announced during a Twitch broadcast that he’d disable ads on his streams indefinitely.
“I will not be running any ads … You will never see an ad come on my stream, ever. I want to just be for the people,” he declared, signaling a major shift in how he wants viewers to experience his content.

That move immediately sparked a flurry of chatter online — some applauding the decision, others raising eyebrows. Among the more vocal was a viewer who quipped:
“Lmfao he only doing that so he wont get caught view botting twitch new rules”.
Netizens pounced, weaving ad theories into dark humor. From suggestions that bots can’t sit through ads to comparisons with creators like Kai Cenat, the reaction blended wit with skepticism. And so, the Twitter streets lit up. This isn’t just about ads or about Twitch stability — it’s about perception, gamesmanship, and how one creator’s choices ripple across the streaming ecosystem.
Once the news dropped that N3on would no longer run ads on his Twitch stream, netizens wasted no time. X (formerly Twitter) was alive with reactions, mixing sarcasm and suspicion. Right under the main announcement, someone slammed:
“no one wants to give him ad space”.
The implication? Even sponsors are steering clear. Others chimed in:
“Kai Cenat would never 😭”, comparing N3on’s bold stance to creators who regularly break spaces for ad placements.
One incredulous viewer typed:
“this can't be true it has to be something else”, convinced the move must mask something deeper.
Then came the zingers:
“The bots can’t watch ads” nestled neatly with that initial comment about not wanting to get caught.
If your viewer base is artificially inflated, ads become pointless or risky. And of course, one clever reply:
“I guess we all watching neon pov when he does collabs with other streamers”, imagining an ad‑free viewing party every time N3on joins up with someone else.
In context: N3on’s announcement isn’t just a feel‑good gesture — it comes after a high‑profile move from Kick to Twitch, under a new 70–30 revenue‑split deal. He’s positioning himself as anti‑ads, pro‑community. That narrative split viewers: some see a creator sacrificing income for pure stream experience; others smell an attempt to dodge scrutiny from Twitch’s stricter view‑botting policies.
The rhetoric around “I want to just be for the people” highlights N3on trying to reshape his public image — from controversial IRL streamer to genuine, community‑focused creator. But netizens aren’t buying the fully altruistic angle. The “bots can’t watch ads” zinger keeps coming up, underscoring the belief that his audience might be inflated by automated traffic.
Ultimately, the netizens’ reaction thread is a tangled mix: admiration for his anti‑ad stand, jokes about sponsorship avoidance, and skepticism about the real motive behind the move. For many, the gesture is bold, but the commentary underscores that online audiences rarely take things at face value.
Meanwhile, Adin Ross hasn’t stayed quiet. After N3on announced his ad‑free Twitch streams, Ross weighed in, first reacting to N3on’s switch from Kick to Twitch, then sharply criticizing Twitch’s revenue system. On July 23, he called Twitch’s model “exploitative,” framing his critique not as a personal feud with N3on, but as a broader complaint about the platform’s tactics. While he insists he holds no personal grudge, Ross’s comments echo a rising tide of creator frustration about how Twitch shares revenue.
In the swirl of reactions, Adin’s voice adds gravity: it’s not just meme commentary, it’s insider critique of how ad models and platform contracts shape creators’ decisions. His involvement underscores that this is less a joke and more a debate about ecosystem fairness.
