Chiseled Adonis

Chiseled Adonis is a stand-up comedian and content creator whose mission is to become “the greatest comedian of all-time”. He specialises in “black comedy, blue comedy, insult comedy, observational comedy, and satire.” He is the co-host of sports comedy podcast Hold My Nuggets and can boast over 250,000 fans and subscribers across various social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. Despite his popularity on the platforms, however, he is frequently at odds with them because they keep removing his content. It has become such an issue that one of the only places he can post his comedy content is on Pornhub. To help counter this, he has set up a Patreon account that allows him to make money from his comedy.

The reason Chiseled Adonis has so many problems with social media companies is that his main stock-in-trade is sports commentary videos, be they live watch parties or his humorous analysis of past events — he’s particularly keen on American football and WWE Wrestling. Because his content involves streaming these events, his content is frequently taken down, or he’s barred from monetizing it — he claims to have been denied almost 90% of advertising revenue from his sports commentary videos.

In an age where comedians are expected to constantly create content for social media platforms (but not necessarily to make enough money to live on), sites like Patreon have become invaluable to performers looking to realise their worth. Adonis is one such performer, and he offers a wide variety of exclusives and incentives to monthly subscribers.
