Hasan Teases BIG RESPONSE to Ethan Klein and Threatens to LEAVE Twitch

You saw how Cenk tried to normalise/justify Trumps unhinged theatrical speech yesterday. I saw the comments everyone is going in on him 😂 The members are leaving & the comments are calling him out. It's nice to see many people are waking up to their bs.

I WISH Ethan would debate someone like Sam seder or hasan on the issue of genocidal Israel. He would fall apart so quickly

Ethan won’t debate Hasan or Sam on Israel because he’d fall apart

The ban (again) was the best thing to happen to Hasan. All it does is draw more attention to him and boosts his profile. He should aim to get a ban every 18 months or so LOL The meltdown (by actual racists and ant-sems upon his ubnanning has been gold

I think Hasan is going to stay on Twitch. Since his contract ended, he no longer runs ads and no longer requires users to be subbed to access all his content. On top of that, the Hasanabi Industrial Complex on YT pumps out videos all day long and he doesn't copy strike those people.

The bit about the right always whining about comedy being dead and then pearl clutching when a leftist is being hyperbolic was a good point.

Hot take: i think the one day ban was a slap in the face to all the Hasan haters, and kind of awesome. Plus we got professor Hasan giving a lecture, which was a nice change of pace. Hope he does it more often.

I'm pretty sure Hasan wasn't actually joking and it's weird to see people keep repeating this.
I thought it was obvious it was rhetorical - if Mike Johnson or Republicans cared at all about Medicare/aid waste, fraud, and abuse, then, by the sheer extremity of Rick Scott's crimes involving Medicare/aid waste, fraud, and abuse, the minimum logical response would be to off him.
Obviously Hasan's detractors intentionally misinterpreted this as a "call to action" which is absurd, but even his supporters claiming, "it was just a joke, bro!" seems incorrect.
He didn't say, in any way, that anyone, even Mike Johnson should do anything - he was simply highlighting the severity of Scott's crimes against this particular issue the Republicans are claiming to care about. It's not an extreme reaction, it's not even hyperbole, it is simply comparing magnitudes. Even if you cared about the waste, fraud, and abuse with a 1% modifier, the amount of damage Rick Scott did would still warrant the absolute maximum punishment available because his waste, fraud, and abuse was so massive.
C'mon y'all.

It's funny, I was an asmon casual viewer for a while many years ago. His WoW transmog contests were great content. About 18 months ago I said in his chat while he was bitching about DEI and "woke" that it sucks he became a right wing commentator and I missed the old content. Instabanned lol. Fast-forward to now and it seems I was literally spot on. It sucks to see him peddling this bullshit to a bunch of dumbass kids and racists.

So just a clarification on the Twitch ban thing. Twitch uses the word “ban” when they should really say “suspension.” They use bans of 1 to 30 days as punishments for TOS violations. If it’s really bad they can also permaban a streamer.
Twitch discloses to the streamer how long their ban is, but not to the public. A lot of the time the streamer shares that info with the public but I think Hasan chose not to so he could focus attention not on the length but instead on Rick Scott. Seems like it was a 1 day ban though, which makes sense since it was a bullshit thing to be banned for anyway.

i definitely only use twitch to watch hasan 🤷‍♀️

The thing you're missing about Twitch bans is that for the days you're banned, your recurring subscriptiona don't renew on that day. So a one day ban is basically a fine of 1/30 of your monthly revenue. Which for Hasan is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars

Hasan doesn't currently have a contract with Twitch. He makes his money there entirely from subs (he probably has 30-40K subs a month, which works out to about $80-$100K/month depending on subscription tier.) He makes a massive amount of money from Twitch.

From my understanding, when a streamer is banned on twitch the biggest punishment is auto-renewal on subscriptions are turned off so a 3 day suspension is 10% of their revenue, and a 7 day is ~25%, so the primary punishment is monetary, not deplatforming

Love the vanguard guys but Hasan is never leaving twitch the live chat is better and all of his collab friends are on Twitch and he doesn’t care too much about ad revenue his entire stream is supported through subs now plus the CEO loves him so no real incentive to switch.

Only Twitch streamers I watch regularly are Hasan and Denims. I know why they get attacked relentlessly by the right, but they are truly so uncontroversial if you actually listen to what they say. The right is absolutely unhinged.

I love you guys people really dog on Hasan forgetting he’s literally human that just says things. He hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone and is a very charitable person. To cancel him over jokes in a stream that goes on for hours is ridiculous.

Ethan Klein's response to Hasan being unbanned "GOD DAMNIT!!!"

What pearl clutchers. “He said that Donald Trump should use a Time Machine to go back to the year 2000 and assassinate Rick Scott! He’s calling for violence”
This whole thing has been so ridiculous

I don't think the smear campaign is what is affecting him most. I think the political state is more affecting him. But maybe in this video you the boys are right.

Ugh... the hasan take regarding hasans viewers on youtube and hasan's take had nothing to do with 'going live' on youtube or leaving twitch. It was a call and response to doing more pre-recorded youtube content.

Ethan is so crusty omg

Streamers make way more income through Twitch than RUclips. All the big streamers that have switched over, did so because they got a bag from RUclips to switch, and they all move back, as soon as their contract is over. Live streaming on RUclips just doesn't have a comparable income model or infrastructure to make it worth it.

Obviously it was a joke, as is the Republican Party actually caring about anything that will help Americans.

I can’t wait to hear Hasan’s nuanced rebuttal to Ethan! He’s so smart and intellectual! You guys are super good at being smart too!

Banning on twitch can actually be quite impactful financially. Most subs are from automatic resubs which don't renew while you're suspended.

That’s right though, the right doesn’t like criticism when directed towards them selves. Everyone else is fair game, meaning anyone on the left.

I think one of the main things keeping people on twitch is the chat and the emojis. Sounds kinda stupid but they definitely do emojis better on twitch. RUclips has gotten better with members only emojis, but one thing thats nice on twitch is that you can use the emojis you unlock from subs on any stream, not just that content creators stream. Back when i used twitch regularly i would sometimes find cool content creators by clicking on a funny emoji i saw in chat and following it back to the channel it came from. So it's actually good for content creators that way too.

For what it's worth, Ethan did respond to Asmondgold being anti-semitic.

I mean I think it's abundantly obvious that "that's for another day" means he didn't want to go off topic and "do RUclips full time" is people just laughing or being reactionary at his one day ban. Literally nothing will change because of the past three days. I agree that a content nuke to address asmon and Ethan makes sense, but this was not a hint

All the Twitch streamers that moved to YT cuz they got a bag, went back to Twitch after their contract was over, they all said it's better for streaming

I don't think Hasan would make a response video to/about Ethan. I don't think he's into that petty drama ish.

I don't think he should make a response video to H3's content puke. To be honest with you, the left content creators should stay away from petty internet dramas and focus on more important subjects. Leave the dirty work to BadEmpanada.

Ok, so seandablack didn't stream on the day Hasan was banned and huge missed day. Please go /follow sean if you're looking for a Hasan adjacent stream. He's usually online in the hours before Hasan starts his stream and he needs some more viewer for sure. I stan Sean pretty hard but he deserves 10x the viewers imo so just throwing this out there on a random youtube comment for people that clicked that and probably looking for alt Hasan streams. Because I was like most Hasan viewers and just hit youtube for some Majority Report or some Kyle K if Hasan wasn't online yet. Sean is another option; that's basically the point of this comment.

He may have been joking but shouldn't have been. Rick needs to go.

He doesn't have a contract with Twitch anymore I think, so he can stream anywhere

Go back to playing games Asmond, leave the political takes for us adults.

Hasan has stated very clearly multiple times that he will only watch and respond to Ethan's content puke if Ethan will sit down and watch it with him.

He just said I’m making RUclips videos now because his face cam vid did well and he wants to do more of those not live streaming to YT

Im glad he finally decided to muster the courage to respond to criticism. This is a bold new step in Hasan's career.

Blakeley might want a word with you about “less likely to be censored on RUclips”, Zac.

Hasan does not like youtubes live chat compared to twitches. I don’t really get what’s exactly lacking cause I’m no streamer but because the chat is such an essential part of Hasan’s streams he’s said he won’t even consider switching until youtubes chat functionality meets his standards🤷🏻‍♀️

Who's better at gaming? Asmongold or Hasan? Seriously asking, no idea.

It's MUCH more lucrative for streamers like Hasan to sign BIG deals with Twitch and stream there almost every day and then upload content to RUclips too. The guys who go fully to RUclips generally are just the ones who got permabanned on Twitch.

Twitch said comedy is legal again

Hasan sucks. Twitch sucks. Tankies suck.

I just want to add that Hasan being banned on Twitch made me watch more SeanDaBlack, Denims, and Gremloe more. These are smaller Twitch streamers that could also use some love for anyone that’s interested.

Hasan no longer has a contract with Twitch and he doesn't run ads. The only money he's currently getting from streaming on Twitch is through subscribers. Of which I believe he has the 5th most on the platform.

hasan's revenue is only based on subs and his co-op podcast which has a patreon, im p sure he's talked about it but he absolutely is not paid based on hours, its some percentage of the profit the platform makes off subscriptions. he's just unhinged and loves streaming which is why he's live like 8-10 hours a day 😂😂 but yeah because twitch isn't offering contracts anymore, he doesn't even run ads which he was required to run a minimum number of (1 per hour)

Yeah, I want to point something out about Hassan. I think he’s very smart and I do think he’s a good communicator. However, there were times during the beginning of the war the current war in Israel where his verbiage was sounding very antisemitic and I listen to him often and I had to stop because it was offensive. I listen to him again, but he did this, and I was commenting on itwhen he was doing it and it was really offensive, but sorry everyone in GenZ sings their thoughts about the situation are the only ones that count. I hope you all enjoy Donald Trump for the next four years because you’re the reason why he’s the president again.

The thing about Discord is that you don't have billionaires censoring your content. Yes, it was made by gamers for gamers but there's a TON of content. Sons of Liberty is on YT as well as Discord so they can discuss what they want without getting banned. They already get demonetized on every single YT video.

"more people watch RUclips on their televisions" *me watching this video on my TV nodding* 👀🍿

I like twitch because it offers live streaming to everyone and anyone but RUclips you have to have 100 followers and if u aren’t as good at editing as u are just riffing ur at a disadvantage

The way Twitch operates is that it follows its own laws (guidelines) to a fault. "Too far jokes" do get streamers banned, in so far as showing to their management, investors and advertisers that it does curtail "extreme behavior" on the platform, at least in contrast to a platform like Kick.

I never use Twitch. If Hasan was to start streaming on RUclips I would be way more likely to be able to tune into his stream . Most Of my Hasan consumption is clips on RUclips

Hasan wants to talk to Ethan on stream, he doesn't wanna do a video on him

Multicast is fine now, isn't it? If I'm right in thinking it's been relaxed, Has should stream to both Twitch & RUclips simultaneously.

Hasan is able to muti stream now, so I'm really surprised that he hasn't taken advantage of it. Maybe it's because he already has such a large audience on Twitch that monitoring a YT chat would be a huge responsibility?

why doesnt he just simulcast his stream to his youtube channel. i dont see any downside? just upside, more viewers.

Ethan just called the 2nd Intifada the 2nd ANTIFA*da and now I'm trying to square tf up

you guys use "collaboration" in a really artistic way

I have to wonder why Hasan isn't more active on RUclips, even if nothing than to just stream on both 'tube and Twitch simultaneously

I feel like it was an excuse to have him not streaming during the state of the union #tinfoilhat

Why did this video repeat? For longer play time?

Is hyperbole a joke? People keep saying that but that's a different thing entirely right?

Asmon is to gaming as Rogan is to working out.

Ethan is no better than Kavanaugh

You are severely underestimatig Asmogold. He IS funny, he only recently really turned to purely political commentary (if you can call it that), coming from the gaming community, where hecreated a big community. In my view he is a smart (but slimy) guy, who sees there is views and therefore money in doing the political commentary. No doubt he believes some of the dumb shit he says, but he is also a skilled troll and knows how to create content with controversial takes. Underestimatig his popularity and appeal really would be a mistake. To be clear, I really do not like him. But minimising him is not the way to go imo

Is he actually thinking about making a video about Ethan the same way he is actually thinking of going to Gaza?!

Asmongold is funny when hes not talking about politics. Or at least this statement was true like a year ago when it was still about video games/his org. Also Hasan doesnt have a twitch contract anymore. So they dont pay him anything directly afaik.

Sex Pestiny too

Gavin wishing for a H3 nuke. That statement is just him stopping himself from getting sidetracked.

that asmon dude is such a ghoul

Moving from twitch is not smart at all nobody watches RUclips live sorry just the truth

Nah, that's just how he speaks.

I wish Hasan would run for office. God he would be great.

No he's not

Hasan is my goat

Asmongold made it through gaming content. Especially wow content. I used to watch him before he went down the woke and political content rabbit hole. He was actually knowledgeable about gaming content like mechanics etc. I think he øike many others got caught up in the isolation experiment called in 2020-2022 where many youtubers/podcasters seems to have caught the brainworms which turned them into rightwing weirdos.

0:20 god damn hasan’s voice sounds extra hot here 👀👀

Gonna take more than that to shut down ole Hank Pecker

And like for once its just a joke that was actually a joke

Did Hasan finally watch the nuke??

Omg, Lolo follows you guys. 😳 Biggest reveal of this video.

Just because hasan agrees with you politically doesn’t mean you should overlook alll the shitty things he’s done

GOD he's handsome...

Can you cover more Hasan and Ethan drama 😂❤

Its all about context

I hate the fact this and hasan is the only progressive channels we got since tyt died . I hate these guys lol

I thought he was Russell brand lmao

Zack was just an average Wow player that some people found entertaining. I dont get it lol

16:44 oh so that’s the real reason you want him to come to RUclips 😂

ty

I think this video is a reach

Who the hell is destiny?

haahahahahaha i've been banned from League of Legends for longer for saying far less (or even for saying nothing at all)

Thanks for info

Yes please ❤

Free hassssan! (to youtube)

Isn't Asmond some type of pro-gamer? Pretty sure that's why most of his viewers started following him.
