- Ethan and Hila (H3H3 productions and H3 Podcast) - Everyones, (at one point at least) favourite TH-cam couple. Two of the greatest content creators to ever hit the platform, who have had their reputation tarnished over the years. But the real question - Has their downfall been justified? And what could have caused such a downfall? Was it the change in their personality, from a chilled out couple to an angry, bitter pair of creators? Was it all owed to the H3 Podcast? Has their extreme rise in status caused an arrogant personality? This is, The rise and fall, of H3H3 Productions (H3 Podcast / Ethan and Hila).

Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, Sunny XO ❤ - บันเทิง
Imagine Sunny one day has a downfall on TH-cam, and then his last video is “the downfall of SunnyV2”
That will make me cry
Sadders
I would like, but it’s at 69 likes. I must not interrupt the balance
Frick, someone else liked it before I could dislike it. Oh well, pretty funny lol
Then he creates a channel called "SunnyV3" and makes a video on himself.
Lololol
Ethan literally became one of the people he would make fun of
yup
he's got a wife, a healthy baby, and is making a shit ton of money off youtube and their clothing line. who care.
@@samoflegend738 Obviously, Ethan does, and it shows. He's very insecure.
@@samoflegend738 You do apparently. You saw his comment didn't like it and got flamed enough to list off things Ethan's done like that means anything to anyone but you. OP's statement is still true.
@@samoflegend738 but he doesn't look healthy
Heila doesn't seem even to enjoy it. She just sits there, sometimes saying "yeah", but overall feeling like she just kinda zones out whenever Ethan goes on another one of his rants
It's like the chick gets mogadon injected into neck every morning..she's not even in the room..😵💫
I also don’t know why they put on the show. She is sweet and gentle person, put she never has any interesting inputs or insights to the discussions
She has that dead-eyed Kardashian vibe. Pretty creepy and a little psychopathic looking tbh
She seems like a genuine person which makes all her comments on point. Ethan is constantly trying to hype her up and to push her to open up which is also a sweet thing to look at. Her takes are few but she can as well make solid points even though I'd agree that her introvert behavior is not as entertaining as Ethan's.
They make a perfectly ballanced team in the end in my opinion.
Ethan's insecurity and bitterness is the only thing that pushed me away from their channel.
She doesn't seem to like it anymore, but her original appreances were a HUGE deal. She used to be insanely shy to be on camera, and eventually would be on it, but would hardly talk.
Eventually she began to open up thanks to Ethan hyping her up so damn much.
But on the podcast and the longer it went on, she appeared to be less than thrilled about a LOT of the takes Ethan had. And felt like she just no longer wanted to be apart of the podcast. She, clearly, loves Ethan with all her heart and soul, but doesn't enjoy what type of person he has become.
Or maybe she is reverting back to her old self that doesn't like the camera or anything to do with being in front of it.
“You were supposed to destroy the sith, not join them” that one always hits hard.
Imagine being that jealous of a person online..
@@j22563Are you talking about Ethan? If not you're nuts lol
I like how the opening sequence makes it look like with more success Ethan got, the bigger the beanie became.
This deserves to be the top comment
Representing his growing head/ego
The true source of his powers
Hahaha hilarious comment dude
that's where he keeps his adsense dollars
Calling Keemstar the "un-nukable TH-cam cockroach" in a way feels like the most short yet accurate description ever.
Be nice if he'd finally go away though, however unlikely.
@@JamesRDavenport did everyone just forget 2015-2016 era when he was the most hated person on youtube?💀💀 that guy is a horrible person and tries to play it off now it's so sad

You can be hated and still have a career.
Money doesn't change people, it reveals their true character.
The thing that made me like Ethan in the past was the fact that he didn't take himself seriously. The boy band skit was the funniest Ethan has ever pulled off all because he got nostalgic over a 90's boy band.
It's too bad the current day Ethan didn't get the memo at all.
He's literally the same lol
@@edwardbuzura5508 and you're delusional if you really think that.
@@vDeadbolt he just made it clear that he is not pandering to Nazis, than he magically lost a bunch of boys from his fandom.
@@edwardbuzura5508unhinged rants about bombing NRA, doxxing innocent people, making holocaust threats, yeah totally normal.
@@Astronopolis pahahahah, where do you get your news from? Alex Jones?
ethan is a perfect example of a normal person transitioning to a chronically online person. it’s easy to become a pessimist and bitter person when you’re online 25/8. i pray he finds his peace
I 100% agree. I think it’d be wise for him to take a step back. Just reflect. Now he’s had Bruce and he keeps bringing up the fact he could have left for longer to be on paternity leave. He could have and he should have. And now it’s being shoved in supporters face that he’s staying. Any good fan should want him to leave for a bit. I think it’s becoming unhealthy for him.
Hila even has a term for it: vlogitis.
It's what happens to anyone who jumps into the social media machine
24/8
Hijab him n it bank
Exact reason why I deleted tik tok, was on it so much and all it is is things that make you angry or annoyed I didn’t even like it I was just bored
I don’t think it’s Hila who changed. When Ethan goes on a rant you can tell how uncomfortable she is.
She doesn't even talk as much as he do...like why is it considered a two man job when all Ethan do is talk 90% of the time
Her inputs/contributions have the same substance as a TV guide
She always looks like that. It's hard to pull anything from it
Ethan is one of the worst interviewers on TH-cam and the internet in general.
I don't think it's a good idea to think that you can understand anyone from videos they upload to the internet. Acting like you know and understand them is part of the problem.
I don't think jealousy/disapproval of wealth is the reason behind H3H3's decline, but rather the attitude change that occasionally comes with it. A lot of formerly famous TH-camrs rose in popularity as a result of their humility, authenticity and relatability, and at some point they evidently developed an ego that would become so inflated that they became unable to, or indifferent towards hiding from their viewers.
"filthy frank didn't die for this" gets me every time.
Him calling someone "bitterly unattractive" is pretty funny.
his wife was like bruh calm down. like props to that. if your talking about someone who said meen things online with that kind of nastyness take a brake man take a sleep do what you need to do thats so unnessasary
Oh shit the scene at the exact moment I read this. Yeah you're right, it's kinda funny but at the same time so uncomfortable to watch.
Lol he's clearly never looked at himself in the mirror, or ever seen his wife's face.
@BeeniBeeni she looks like a demented vampire, he looks like the typical 40yo virgin.
Yeah he is the most unattractive person i have ever seen
Ethan is the perfect example of someone who was completely relatable and normal, suddenly change due to money and fame.
Can you blame him....? Earlier, he had nothing to lose... But now he had his livelihood, his family and his reputation to keep...
@@HydrarGyros7 This is why you should always live below your means.
Very common, just H3 was incredibly popular so for a lot of people he was their "first". EgoRaptor AKA Arin Hanson from GameGrumps was a really big one, though not as popular.
@@HydrarGyros7 I don't feel bad for anyone with a 10million dollar house bro
@@disturbing_the_peace5739 I'm never saying you should feel bad... But people always tend to become protective of what they own
I miss the Ethan that defended Ken Bone.
I think some of the funniest times I had watching H3H3 were when they were wearing hazmat suits. I'd have tears coming out my eyes I'd be laughing so hard.
Hahah same
I’m not really defending him but It’s sad to see this happen to someone who brought so much joy to so many people
Yeah man, I loved him, Ian and the gang! Why couldn't they just move on like Max or George did, just "growing up" without shiting on their past? Instead became what they hated! Like it wasn't that past that made them famous and rich!

This quote doesn’t look right lol
doesnt apply here
This has probably been h3h3 The whole time and you have realized that there is parts of their personality that you don’t like
H3H3 is a good example of how a format change can ruin a creator. When they were making edited and curated content, even as a reaction channel, they had the time to do research, get a full picture, and spend time on topics.
Today H3H3, and Ethan in particular, have put content frequency and persistence over everything. This has resulted in a complete flip, there is no nuance, no intelligence, heck no research anymore. The end result is H3H3, as creators, are defined by lazy takes, trend chasing, and toxic behavior. Which is depressing when you consider just 5-6 years ago, they were debateably the face of the small creator on TH-cam. Standing up for fair use, calling out bullshit... But now, let's be honest, they are Keemstar in every way except the name.
They've gone from a creator I felt embodied the best aspects of TH-cam to assholes that I wish would stop. What's even worse is they are basically beyond redemption. As a community, we were apologized to three times and the best that has come out of it is a few months of change before they go even deeper into their hole. It was one step forward, wait 3-6 months, 5 steps back for 3-ish years.
At keemstar was always shit and nv tried to hide how horrible he is. I have some respect for that
They’ve found an audience that loves them now
@@user-ci6hi5qx7w IDK if I'd say "love," but they have found an audience.
I recently discovered H3 a few months into the writer's strike, due to the majority of studio produced content being put on hold. I wasn't won over immediately, but I did eventually become a fan, and have been voraciously consuming their back catalogue over the last six weeks.
Even as a fan, I can appreciate this nuanced commentary on the show, and agree fully with your assessment of their "frequency over substance" show style.
While I enjoy their more produced and planned segments, I find it unfortunate that the majority of their content solely relies on Ethan rambling about stuff. Often, he doesn't even take the time to properly understand the timeline or context of events, before he starts rambling on with his hot takes. It's painfully obvious when he hasn't properly previewed the media content prepared for him by his staff, and he's consistently unable to play a video for longer than 6secs without interjection. Honestly, he can't even be bothered to slow down enough to enunciate; properly pronouncing names just normal everyday words, is entirely too much for him. At first, I chalked this up to some sort of reading/speech disorder, but it's not nearly as prominent in the early days of H3 compared to the later pods. It's getting markedly worse, as if the content is getting SO LAZY, basic enunciation is too much effort.
The consent lean on forced drama, while entertaining in small doses, is an obvious crutch. It definitely lends itself to toxicity, and generally, the fixation becomes tedious.
I think they'd put out a remarkably improved product if they cut the show down to once, maybe twice, weekly. I can't believe people actually pay for the member's only streams, which is solely just Ethan rambling without even the crew involvement for added entertainment.
Keemstar > H3H3
Because he is honest about what he is.
I followed H3 when he had 5k followers, so watching this in real time was just really sad. Used to love this guy
I'll never forget the SoFlo days, probably H3H3 most creative years
The best days. And ETHAN BRADBERRY
Looks like they even had him on a podcast.
SoFlo like Antonio SoFlo you know the Flo
this shit touches my heart
I mean, he's still pretty creative nowadays in my opinion, with ideas like the Frenemies podcast and the Content Court, A.I Ian too
What made me stop watching H3 was the realization that Ethan’s negativity was literally making my days worse off. His cynical perspective and nasty take on everything was rubbing off on me and just all around making me suck to be around whenever I had just listened to their podcast. So it was an easy choice. Super toxic energy. No place in your life if you want to support positivity and happiness.
Thats facts
Hell yeah man, there is so much shit in the world, just quit anything that makes you unhappy
He was negative about everything...except Apartheid Israel. Total shill for human rights violations.
Foreal, I’ve always come to TH-cam for an escape from reality and the world but instead he became political and bringing up the negatives in life.
It was smart of you to remove that from your life when you recognized what it was doing for you. I personally felt like this after watching Hasan Piker for like a month and cutting him out made me feel a million times better.
He is the embodiment of “You’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy.”
I’ve hated seeing H3 decline and I hate seeing what they’ve become. But I will never not find the story of how they got together cute.
Lol me too!
I’m not an avid watcher but one thing that I love about them was how they met and the energy between the two. They’re soulmates and it makes me sick haha they truly are meant for each other
Every time I see Classic H3H3 I feel like they're long gone friends who I used to have a ton of fun with, but who sadly perished in an accident a couple years ago. I miss them.
Man you could not have said it better. The feelings of love and nostalgia mixed in with bitterness and sadness that they’re no longer with us is surprisingly emotional. His videos reflect a huge portion of the golden age of TH-cam and online culture, and will sadly never be produced again.
Get help
I literally cried dude
Same
go outside weirdo
I swear there's a "downfall of ethan klein" every damn year
Yeah every time I see one I think "Wow another downfall video? I haven't seen a million of those already"
Just goes to show how much people really like H3H3 in the old days. Looking at them now be the polar opposite of themselves from before is just sad.
Yeah and now with Trisha on the show their not coming back.
2021 is doing them good

@@Jukestar It indoubitably will be with that mindset. Cheers.

His change in personality might have been caused by an aversion to loss. When he had nothing to lose, it was all good, but the stakes have changed and so has his mentality.
He us also on antidepressants and has a kid
the answer is simple: he's a narcissist and he got more bold over time, less restrictive.
@@arctorusmedia that sounds stupid, he got more PC and boring not radical
@@arctorusmedia that's literally the opposite
the reality is that people money does change people. and it affects the way they think and what they say. every youtuber who grinds out content and finally makes it wont be the same as when he started. or it could be that the two never really cared about youtube and were just doing it for easy money. there are plenty of people like that here on youtube. all the prank channels and "social experiment" channels are fake and they dont care to make good content they just want that ad money.

Worse and worse while h3 has never been more successful than now.
@@Robert-oj9vp wrong, they have actually lost subscribers, they used to have over 3 mil
I think this video deserves an annual update
More like monthly, every time he comes back he gets canceled again. H3h3 is definitely not adapting with the times and it seems like they've become bitter old fuddy duddies because newer TH-camrs are pushing them out. That's just how it is when there's a new generation and a new way of thinking and doing things and it seems they can't handle being left in the past so they keep getting into trouble with what they say.
“maybe you should calm down” one of my favorite things hila has ever said
Hila is still cool it's Ethan who's changed
@@stinkfinga4918 maybe back in the day yah but now she's a lit more talkative.
Ethan is so damn lucky Trisha came along....I mean even his current podcast's production value is sooo unbelievably unprofessional its insane, especially when you realize how crazy rich they are. Like Dan (bless his heart) ain't cutting it and tbh seems like a complete novice when it comes do directing the show, its painful to watch
@@bruhbun Ethan’s lucky he has any of his employees. There’s plenty of TH-cam videos showing him treating them like crap, and the newest thing with AB. He basically kept pushing a subject for content without thinking “this is my podcast and my employee I should probably move on for his own well being” but no because he’s a complete narcissist
@@bruhbun you look at it as luck I look at is as the worst thing that ever happened to H3. It’s fucking pathetic that they basically allowed this drama-fueled parasite into their lives and content.

@@bruhbun How much do they make?
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the lawsuit... that’s a huge reason they stopped making roast videos
what happened there?
That makes no sense, they won that lawsuit and only one guy sued them out of hundreds reaction vid, they just sold out.
@@johnpen269 they said themselves the lawsuit cost them so much time and money and that the whole thing wasn’t worth it. Their words not mine
@@veronicawilson2921 and they are lying if they say that was a true concern post-trial. As if they would be sued again for the same thing and not win? I don't doubt it was stressful but they won. Maybe they analyzed their prior actions and felt differently as a result of the lawsuit. If you consider it a catalyst, I agree.
The true reason is it just wasn't a sustainable model. You can see the way they've since treated Leafy. He had a very similar style of content and humor, at the time they were both popular. H3 is counting themselves lucky not being tied closer to him in the eyes of the greater TH-cam community. Hence the badmouthing. This was all an eventuality.
Bullshit. Only one person was dumb enough to even bring forward a lawsuit and they won. Not to mention most of its expenses were paid for by fan money. Also now they're multi millionaires and can hire the best lawyers around. No one is even going to bother with a lawsuit now. Reality is they got lazy and capitalized on the shitty podcast movement. Why take all the effort of making a well produced scripted video when you can just ramble on current events a few times a week and make more money?
Just for the sake of comparison: Pewdiepie.
He is now earning extreme amounts of wealth. He has also made a (mobile?) game and advertised it on his channel. His content has changed dramatically. He has made mistakes and has genuinely apologized and worked on making himself better for his fans.
He is still loved.
Pewdiepie is the example to follow.
And Jacksepticeye as well (could never watch his earlier stuff but the more successful hes gotten the more i like his content).
watching these declines just makes me appreciate LA Beast that much more
Preach brother
Well if nothing else, they’re relationship has lasted through all the internet drama with no “cheating” scandals. There’s gotta be a lesson in love in there somewhere.
They’re made for one another and nobody else wants them?

Bill burr is God tier at cutting out the bullshit incl any alpa mindset or big ego. I think he can see some things before anyone else
I want to watch it, i love Burr, but i cant stand an hour of Ethan.
The way bill done Theo von on his podcast opened my eyes to who bill burr actually is...if you know you know. A similar situation was H3H3:deleting the Jordan Peterson podcast because Ethan had apparently become aware of Peterson s so called "trans phobia"....instead of going about it like a decent person he simply removed Jordan's appearance and made a spectacle out of it online by announcing that he denounces Peterson and his " hate". Seemingly out of nowhere. Ethan clearly has a motive behind his bull ish, which seems to have something to do with getting into good graces with certain high level Hollywood type folk. Idk for sure but regardless, more money and\or fame won't make up for what u had to lose to get it....like any and all dignity and self respect....ironic how making millions of dollars actually costed them more than they made.
@@doesntmatter4477 i mean your right about ethan,but Peterson did go full mask off recently saying even adults shouldn't be allowed to transition

2015-2017 was a good time. The kings of those era are now all either banned or turned into boring advertiser friendly shells of their former selves.
Yeah I know just like this guy they remind me of him th-cam.com/video/w7o-lloyuOo/w-d-xo.html
Feels fitting, honestly didn't that era just consist of a bunch of youtube drama reporters starting drama with one another and then sniffing their own farts. The kings were h3h3, LeafyisHere, Keemstar and a few others. I don't think we're missing out without them, though we certainly could do without Keemstar. I'm glad that era is over.
@@StinkyPoopyMcFartFace It was but then everyone started to turn on each other and still do too this day.
I’d say everyone but Ethan & Hasan are more advertiser friendly, they both are spiteful and hateful but only spew popular opinion. So there’s def some Nepotism.
People went from using TH-cam and making money in other ways, to focusing on TH-cam as a source of income itself
Never...ever...ever...apologize. Simple as that.
In the case of ethan, I would agree with that. Sometimes, there are TH-camrs who's very nature would make apologizing seem dumb, TH-camrs who are just meant to be brash and out there, no matter how offensive they are. Sometimes, there are TH-camrs who try to not be so harsh, and when they screw up, they have to apologize for that because, again, their nature is to be kind, when they aren't kind, they have to make up for that. But Ethan wasn't one of those youtubers, he was going to be brash and rude and if you weren't into that content style, just stay away from him. Sure, he could have some opinions that would be deemed as offensive and politically incorrect, but that was the point, he's just a guy saying what's on his mind. People trying to force him to apologize is pathetic.
Dude is that the age of mythology music after 20mins? I could hardly focus on the content, damn it took me back!

Keemstar is a bit like SunnyV2 - cockroaches who feast on the corpses of beings far greater than themselves, and yet seem to survive any catastrophe they encounter.
For me the golden era of h3h3 was between 2015-2017. Ethan and Hila were more or less playing fast and loose with absurdism and satire and there was such a cool, fun unpredictability factor to their content. Moving from the YT video format to the podcast was a mistake (among many) - there was a notable tonal shift in Ethan - more crotchety and cynical, less fun - and I think that’s when I stopped tuning in.
definitely don't think it was a mistake to make the podcast, considering he's gained more fans and views. people grow and change, not a bad thing. plus he didn't like the incels his old channel was attracting. sometimes you need to branch out with new, different content and that's obviously working out pretty well for him
@@itsjustamyj Totally agree. It’s unreasonable and unrealistic for people to not evolve and change over time, especially on these platforms. Yeah I’ll miss the old format and the humor that came along with it, but O have to say that the new Ethan Klein seems a lot more comfortable and confident now. You’re exactly right, his switch to the podcast seems to be working out very well for him and who could hate on that?
I actually really liked the podcast from like 2017-2020. The crew was dope it felt kinda like a family. They used to do fast food reviews and ian made PowerPoints and like mobility Mary. Idk I think in like late Covid it slowly stated turning into drama alert, like with all the David dobrick and James Charles stuff it really started getting old. I think Ethan means well but he’s not the internet police, he’s just a funny TH-camr with a podcast. I get it free speech but I was just here for the goofs and gafs.
He had to move to podcasting, because remember the demonetization problem? He was losing money hand over fist because of it. The podcast is probable the only reason why he is still on YT.
you propably never noticed they had always a political consciousness
Every channel seems to getting its downfall around 2017 - 2020

16:50 as a trans fem, this doesnt offend me at all, and its actually pretty funny
I loved them before the podcast. They were so fun to watch. I couldn't get enough. Now it's been years since I watched them aside from people talking about them. I wonder what happened to all the fun stuff I used to love watching everyday after school all through the night.
Ethan is bitter now and is in a cycle of Anti-Depressants.
To be fair there are some hilarious episodes in their "first season". Jacksfilms and comment etiquette are the best ones imo. It's when frenemies started i couldn't bear watching anymore
What did you like about it? How was it good? Not to criticize, genuine question. Always disliked this Ethan guy.
@@lennertcornette I just thought it was funny. I thought they had good comic timing and were just funny pople to watch.
@@crt_head Yeah I stopped watching the pod, after the Bill Burr episode. It really showed how little Ethan really is. Also Hila would cheat on him in an instant with Bill Burr. Just look at the episode, and how hard she was eye-fucking him the whole, twirling her hair like an awkward teenager, meeting her pop-star crush.
"There's no shortcut to having wealth"
So many rich people got there with shortcuts.
His whole intro monologue is mindblowingly dumb. "There's no shortcut to having wealth... therefore making it one of the only real indicators of an individual's ability to perform better than anyone else". Every piece of this sentence is wrong.
Followed up with: "Government policy, public protests, and more recently, youtube videos all of which follow a similar toxic narrative" - Government policy's been cutting taxes on the rich & businesses for the past like 6 presidents. And absolutely losing my mind by him citing "youtube videos" as like a huge third facet in society.
"The hatred of those with the ability to accumulate wealth" - No, people hate billionaires that are paying workers such small wages they have to rely on foodstamps to survive, while raking in massive profits.

Even when Muta agreed that he was wrong, Ethan still acted so childish and full of himself. I dislike people like that, so full of ego and anger.
And since muta forgot to actually cite the evidence against him (which was very easy to do) , ethan used it as a cudgel to beat him into submission and muta caved in like a coward instead of "standing by his word" like hes been saying he does, long since before his IRLcreepypasta series or even bothering to look further into it, he just ran away with his tail between his legs..

"he seemed more anxious" Ethan has had anxiety since before youtube, hes never been the most laidback youtuber...
he seemed way more relaxed about what people thought of him in the past than what he seems now. That's the type of anxiety he is talking about.
He’s a POS hypocrite. It stopped being funny at that point.
yeah he's always been anxious and insecure. It's just that in the old days he had nothing to lose
I lost a lot of respect for them when they decided to go on anti-depressants. And then to find out Hila ALSO takes Lexapro... Sad man. I knew it would numb them out and just add to their issues over time.

I stuck with them when they started their podcast. After a while I realized I was sticking with them only because of the nostalgia I had for when I used to enjoy them. I stopped watching and by the time I was thinking about watching again he was doing frenemies with Trisha peytas and at that point I was just done. Haven't even thought about them since until now.
Same I stuck around watching them and a bit of their podcast eps but they were the early ones. Ever since then , realized the same thing. Just nostalgia trying to keep me there
I also quit when Trisha came. It was like he was doing a podcast with the ppl he used to roast just get some extra cash
You stuck around that long? I was out after he went in on Jontron when they should of had a private discussion based on what he said instead of using the podcast to shit on his friend.
@@MusicForHourss I was never really such a big H3H3 follower, but I remember a video where he was roasting Trisha Paytas for all her airbrushed photos vs how she really looks, and she started a "twitter beef" with him. And then one day I heard they had a podcast together !? that was so confusing
@@MrKylederp do you really think that “should of” is the correct way to say “should’ve” or “should have”????

Frenemies was actually a fresh air for H3. It gave ethan a spot to play the sane man (to counter balance trisha who was the mad man) and putting him back on track of being funny without exaggerating himself. Too bad there was too much drama happening the show just ended.
& now he tries to keep the show going with different drama, he saw what brought in the views
That's when I stopped watching, actually. Capitalizing on the drama created by someone who is clearly mentally ill is disgusting.
I loved that show, I felt like it was doing both of them a lot of good. Too bad the drama took over.
I watched every episode of frenemies. I noticed that near the end of frenemies, trisha actually rubbed off on ethan. I stopped watching his shit shortly after frenemys when ethan started calling everybody pedophiles and talking about "SA" constantly. It just isnt fun to watch anymore. Just drama for the sake of drama. And attacking people because its hip to do so.
@@Alex-ym5ox yea and now he is the drama, he used to laugh with people and now people are laughing at him
To be honest, Ethan has always been an insecure guy. That’s not a dig to him, I love Ethan. But his care free attitude wasn’t because of his inner security
That is true for virtually every person on the planet. Everyone has some kind of insecurities. That care free attitude was during 2014-16 era when being an edgelord was cool and trendy, which gave rise to wannabe cool braindead incels like leafy and actually cool incels like filthyfrank, idubbbz etc. And while some content creators from that era matured up, some never moved on from that phase, just like a lot of commentors here.
You grow up, you have a life, you have kids. And that changes you a lot. And when you have a talk show for several hours in a week you're bound to say some stupid shit every now and then. No one's perfect. Everyone has said or done things that they are not proud of.
You can meet someone and say they are is the nicest person you've ever met. You live with them as a roommate for 5 years and you will definitely find a lot of flaws in them. and that is natural because the longer you know someone the more you know about their personality.

Yep Ethan wants to dish it out but cant take it.
You... You cried?
Ethans a "comedian".... now he's "social commentary".....well, "comedian" is kinda stretching it....
For me as a hardcore H3 watcher since 2015 (and dying off in 2017), his ‘meeting DJ Khaled’ video was where I got my first hit of over the top arrogance from him. At one point he says something like “you’ve never heard of us? We’ve got a few million subscribers on youtube”, and seemed to genuinely feel offended that Khaled didn’t know who he was.
Then he starts hanging with Post Malone (who i love but it felt his chainsmoking and drinking on lazy uploads were almost flaunting and taking his newfound fame for granted rather than being astounded he was around stars like that), starts that podcast where he shows his impossible ignorance about the world constantly every episode, and his whole semi-joking image about himself being a fatass that’s too lazy to really do anything with himself, really started becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. He posted this video explaining why the main H3 channel was too much of a hassle and too much stress to make videos on and spend so much time making, which is why the podcast and Ethan & Hila channels got more attention (again showing the lazy, low-effort content was more comfortable for him as a person).
And while I stuck around through a couple of his angry drunken, chainsmoking rants on his podcast over topics he surprisingly had almost zero exposure to and knew next to nothing about, consistently- episode for episode showed his vast ignorance- I kept watching because I knew he was a human like all of us and it was hopefully just a phase.
But that arrogance, that “I’m better than you”, that animalistic chasing the dollar mindset, came to a head when he posted that ‘mansion showoff’ video thinly veiled with some pretend self-aware sarcasm on top. That was so over the line that I stopped everything with them. No more subscribing, watching, nothing. Not even on the main channel. Out of principle. He went from an ‘everyman’ to a ‘I’m gonna be real nasty to the butler because I’m better than him’ in less than 2 years. The success went to his head. And I couldn’t take anything about him anymore.
So from a long-time H3 fanboy, that’s the timeline of where it stopped for me.

To go from edgy reaction videos where your fan base is “based” just to focus on podcasts and being “woke” was the downfall
Man I feel like all of these “downfall” TH-camrs have to do with letting their audience get to them, and making poor decisions based on it. It’s good to be active with your audience, but know that a lot of people aren’t going to agree and just keep doing your thing. If you fall off, you fall off, there’s not much to gain from trying to fight back against your community. It’s straightforward and sucks, but there are also many ways to come back without having to fight back.
Coming from a former fan of theirs, it may be true for many others, but with Ethan it's not it - he's just really shit as a human being. People just didn't see this side of him when they only made heavily edited reaction videos, -- seeing a character instead of the person behind it.
However, once they moved on to their podcast, people could see who he really is. The fact that there was nobody to hold him back in since he's the (pretty egotistical and self-righteous) boss made his ego grow even further, while piling up wealth grew the disconnect between him and the audience while also magnifying everything negative about him. Pretty qucikly it became apparent that whatever bullshit Ethan says, everyone on the podcast would nod their heads in agreement, and if not - they'd be ridiculed and pushed into agreement. Soon, nobody would ever disagree with him, which for an egomaniac like him is a huge ego boost in itself.
All of that and more while utterly neglecting the very format that made them rich and famous in the first place, - no wonder his subscribers would get disappointed. So yeah, it's really not about the audience getting to him. It's actually the other way around: him not caring about his audience anymore - because why would he, he's already rich, famous and just built different.

I hate conspicuous wealth overall...give back to your community, don't just feed off of it.
@@iamsatanjr The podcasts that H3H3 produces largely seem empty and time-fillers. "Leftovers" is a very apt title to describe what H3H3 is putting out "fresh" today. It's the remnants of a once great creative endeavor. I sincerely hope they continue to be humbled by their remaining viewers, who hopefully dwindle down. They've been plowing the podcast field for too long without enough new adventures. I cling on as a subscriber because the early stuff was so great...but Ethan and Hila would have to be delusional to think they're producing the same high level of content that they were in 2015. It's just not there.

I became a huge fan of H3 in 2012-2013 when they were in their infancy stage on youtube. Ethan was a f*****g hero to me.
A few years ago when Ethan got his mansion, he made a video with iDubbzz or whoever, and it shocked me out of what they were doing with their channel. He was very obviously flaunting his huge new property, and all I could think of was flashbacks to the papa john video where he was flaming the big papa bless for having such a huge property and using it to make a very odd wealth power-play in the video. It was absolutely unreal when I saw it, because I hadn't watched H3 videos in a while. I was actually in denial for a while, thinking he rented out a giant house to make a joke.
We would all like to think that if we were wealthy, we wouldn't become a trash person. I just can't believe that Ethan of all people was the one to show me how ignorant I was, and probably still am.
