Gross Gore in 2023: Former LoL streamer posts update explaining lack of activity and his future

UK-based former League of Legends streamer Gross Gore, aka Ali Larsen, has spoken about his content plans for Gross Gore in 2023 across his channels.

The content creator, who was once the most popular LoL Twitch streamer in the UK, has today posted a video update explaining his lack of activity on socials and YouTube, as well as what’s next for him. He also re-addressed his past mistakes.

“The reason I don’t update on Twitter or Instagram or update videos anymore is the internet has given us a lot of good things, but I believe there’s more bad than good,” he said in a video on the Gross Gore YouTube channel.

“I believe it’s changing society and it’s making everyone arseholes, so I don’t enjoy being on the internet anymore because it’s a horrible place. It shoots us all down and takes a toll on everyone’s mental health. I don’t like looking at Twitter, reading gossip [and seeing toxic updates on social media] hurts, I don’t want to hear about it. I’m fine, but I don’t like being on the internet, it’s changing and getting more vicious.”

The update comes almost a year after Gross Gore said he’d consider quitting streaming. Afterwards, Gross Gore streamed World of Warcraft for a little while, but over the past few months his streams and content updates have been very limited.

For Gross Gore in 2023, it looks like streams will be limited too.

“I am way too old [for regular streaming now], I’m 31 and don’t have the energy or effort to put content out there. I can put on the act and act crazy but it takes a big toll,” Ali added. “I don’t enjoy streaming on YouTube much anymore.”

Gross Gore also said he’ll do more workouts and general life update content videos, whenever he feels like it, but without the pressure of thinking about the amount of impressions they receive.

Gross Gore went through financial difficulties last year, and now says he receives a ‘small percentage’ of revenues his girlfriend Safi generates on OnlyFans.

For Gross Gore in 2023 and in late 2022, the content he has published has definitely been more x-rated than his League of Legends content and gaming content in the past, with him opening up his sexual antics with his partner and a cuck fetish. This in particular drew a lot of reaction from parts of the streaming community, with Yassuo’s reaction to Gross Gore’s cuck video being watched more than a quarter of a million times.

Gross Gore in 2023: Streamer addresses past mistakes

In 2021, Gross Gore was indefinitely banned on Twitch for ‘adult sexual exploitation’ following a string of allegations around his past behaviour.

Gross Gore later quit League of Legends again that year. Now he has re-addressed his past mistakes and actions.

Ali said, in response to a new video by KiraTV looking back on the rise and fall of Gross Gore: “I’ve done a lot of shitty things and been an uncontrolled pest to a lot of women in the past because at the time I felt nothing could be bad to flirt, and it was a part of the show.

“Looking back, this is obviously extremely bad and I have to live with the stamp that I am all the bad things they say about me. I’m sorry I let people down and ruined what could have been great.”

Ali also admitted to sleeping with a 16-year-old back when he was 18, and outlined more in the below tweet, including his views on being cancelled.

It seems like a chapter has closed in Gross Gore’s life, and the days of League of Legends streaming are long behind him. For Gross Gore in 2023, he is going down a different path.
