I mean, I ain't a Hasan fan and I only skimmed this, but this kinda sounds like the typical shit that happens when an individual creator online gets to big to manage everything themselves and so tries to employ friends of there's to manage shit but wants to be "chill" about it since they don't want to be too "corporate" about it.

Bit of a pitfall of capitalism, if you just wanna be someone who makes shit on your own, if your shit gets too popular you end up having to become bourgeois cuz you need people to manage your brand.

    I don't think this is supposed to be a hit-piece. It's fluff. I think both of these people still work for him. David is the current camera operator. The previous camera operator was named March. If I'm remembering correctly, Fox News filmed Hannah with a drone while walking Hasan's dog.

    The bit about people spamming Blizzard with bomb threat accusations because the one guy fixed Hasan's computer is wild. Other than that it's what I expect - managing a packed schedule means working one yourself, assisting a controversial figure means filtering death threats from his inbox, etc.

    He spends half his stream yelling at me, a paying subscriber, so I can only imagine what kind of slave-driver he is for his labor. But as the workers in this piece are ex-Blizzard, I guess anywhere that has fewer frat bros and no Cosby Room is an upgrade in labor conditions.
