Wild/scary how easily people latched on to collar gate. Or just shows how much people are targeting hasan.

Especially considering this ban is as dumb as when they banned him for cracker or the Rick Scott stuff. Silly him should have just been like the other big streamers and only say terrible things about Muslims or immigrants

Better start looking or setting up new platforms now, they are all going to get censored for the regime. The corpos love Donny too.

I don't like Hasan, but I don't think "rabid ultra-zionist pigs" is particularly insulting. That's some reddit level censorship where anything they want to construe as harassment, is.

Curious to people that are leftist that "don't like Hasan". I see this comment a lot always when defending him but starting with that prerequisite. Do you mean you just don't enjoy his content style? If so, I can understand that.

There are things I don't like about him. But I don't really judge content creators by whether I'd be friends with them or not or whether their style is for me. For him, I like him because he serves a purpose of countering right wing and racist propaganda in a way that is most attractive to the people that are most vulnerable to it (young men). And he is clearly good at that.

I like him for that alone. He's a huge net positive in my opinion.

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

He's livestreaming on YouTube at the time of this comment posting. I like it better on YouTube than twitch personally because YouTube Vanced is OP. But the comments aren't working.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

I checked and Youtube vanced comments are working for me. Maybe you need to patch it with a new apk.

[-] kingshrubb@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Thanks. I didn't think updating from 20.14.41 to 20.14.43 would do much, but I was wrong! Working.

Streamers should have an owncast as a back up

[-] sunbytes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

He streamed last night on YouTube. Supposedly it peaked at 150k viewers.

I personally saw it hit 100k but I dipped in and out.

And when he turned on super chats he probably made a few thousand dollars in the first 3 minutes. I've never seen anything like it.

Ugh, it's not gonna spread, is it? Typical of those rabid ultra-Zionist pigs.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

You have been banned for wrongthink.

[-] fort_burp@feddit.nl 14 points 1 month ago

You can make so much money defending the use of watch lists to track anti-Israel protestors in the US.

It doesn't say much about watch lists but it does say a lot about what it takes to become wealthy.

What do you expect from using corpo-fascist infrastructure?
