Ethan knows people like Hasan right?

This has been the main thing that i’ve really struggled to get my head around thinking about this.

Unlike previous content nukes or content courts on Jack Doherty, Adin ross, etc… - people nearly unanimously disliked by the entire internet outside of their space - Hasan is a very well liked, very respected creator.

Think about the wider streaming economy Hasan orbits. QTcinderella, Ludwig, trash taste - these are all huge creators.

Even the things hasan typically gets criticised for - having an expensive house, going to a brothel in germany, dating a sex worker - if you aren’t chronically online, which ironically many hasan fans aren’t, people actually see that stuff as humanising to some degree.

It’s very clear to everyone here that ethan’s making the whole situation very personal, as he has done for every touchpoint of the past year and a half. But the level of vitriol, he’s bringing is borderline neurotic.

I actually think a content nuke on Destiny, Vaush, or a number of other “progressive” creators would be perceived very well - as those guys are very easy to dislike (purely from a surface level perspective, but definitely for… other reasons).

But anyone who watches Hasan for a few minutes would probably find him likeable.

You can only polish a turd so much - so regardless of how well edited, well structured, or how funny (none of which i expect it to be by the way) the nuke is - it is destined to fail from the start.
