Common L Twitch.
Ban was for 7 days, and Hasan appealed it to 3 days after taking a quiz.
In the meantime, he streamed on YouTube for the first time in like 7 years, had 140k viewers at the peak, and made a TON of money from super chats, all while being able to stream his regular news coverage AND attend the ICE Out of LA protest in solidarity.
Israel dick riders really got him good.
The only times Hasan has been banned from Twitch was for insulting racist white people. And they say he's doing hate speech. Pathetic.
My wife was watching that stream and just in shock. He made something like ~~7 million dollars~~ *$18,000 *from superchats on his first(?) YouTube stream. He started it bashing the platform and by the end he was talking about his plan for what he'll be posting/streaming to YouTube in the long term. The temp ban definitely backfired by pushing him to a platform where he immediately got 10x the viewers he'd normally expect
Edit: I had remembered a completely incorrect number for his superchat income
Is there a public source for where you got that super chats number?
Its just a number he mentioned during his stream. I don't have a timestamp but the VOD is here
Apparently it's $18,000 not $7,000,000, and Hasan donated it all to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA).
Well shit I wonder where that number came from. Either way that's a pretty dang good payout for the first stream on YouTube in 8 years
This guy is one the best grifters in the game. Right wing grifters hate him because he's beating them at their own game.
Go back to reddit bro.
Nah
Don't you have to sell some junk supplements or something to be a grifter? Just cause you don't like the guy doesn't make him a grifter.
No, a grifter is a con artist who uses charm, deception, and manipulation to swindle people out of money or possession. Hasan fits this definition down to the letter.
Hasan is a grifter. Right.
Yes he is by the very definition of the word
Success = Grifter
That's terminal capitalism brain for you
