      I feel sorry for him in that the whole thing isn’t fair, but I don’t feel sorry about the backlash he got. It was just as scummy back then as it is now and I highly doubt the “reactors” don’t see the problem with what they do.

      NO! He doesn't. It's absolutely unnecessary. There is something we need to note though, it isn't a justification. That's how he built his career.
      He got popular because he streamed for ungodly amounts of hours EVERYDAY. That worked for him and made him successful. Because of his dedication the server he was streaming on favored him, so did the people who knew they could just watch him whenever they wanted.
      What he did/does works, and makes him more money in this system. This is how he built his career. So, it's not bold to say it's all he knows. With this I hope we can give more effective feedback so he learns something. He probably won't though... He's been on the firing line too much to be receptive to disagreement, from comment sections.

The reason Hassan and other streamers like him do not change is simply because they are unwilling to and do not actually care about providing “exposure” or “clout” to other channels like they claim.

    Clarifications and corrections:
    Hasan's business email IS publicly listed in his twitter bio, which I literally show on screen but somehow didn't notice while making this. It still shouldn't be a creator's responsibility to check but disregard any points about it being unclear how to contact him. That was a massive brain fart on my part.
    "Why did you wait 6 months to make this video?"
    I always intended to make it, but had other projects I wanted to make first.
    "Why are you making fun of Hasan for forgetting a word?"
    That was not my intent. There are a few jokes in the segment where I cover Hasan's reaction, and maybe I didn't understand him as clearly as I could have, but the important point of that section of the video is that spending 2 minutes making vague comments is not enough to meet the standards I outline in this video. If you have one takeaway from that section of the video, please make it that.
    "You are pretending this is all of Hasan's react content when he is actually known for pausing."
    No, I am not. You were not paying attention. I explicitly say in the video at 10:12. In the streams of Hasan's that I watched for this video it seemed pretty clear that this is something he generally only does while he's eating. I do not believe there is any excuse to EVER create a react video without even attempting to transform it or shoutout its creator.
    I use the word cabbage as a joke insult in this video along with the words rhombus, muppet, and lemon. Apparently there are parts of the world where cabbage is an ableist slur? I suppose there are some things you can only find out after you post the video and someone tells you. Hopefully the context makes it clear that I was referring to the food, and not trying to invoke any other meaning the word has. Still though, here's a clarification just in case.

  • @DarkViperAU
    @DarkViperAU 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2995

    Hasan’s whole career is taking other people’s work and showing it to his audience. Without this content aggregation he could fill maybe 15 minutes of a stream a day. It is why he is so defensive, other people’s unpaid labour is all he has.
    On TH-cam, editing makes transforming someone’s work into a distinct product far easier as you can choose to only take the relevant parts and creatively alter even what you do take. On a livestream, you just have a pause button. A no effort pause button to go along with the no effort content. I find it worse that Hasan has convinced countless thousands that his particular form of exploitation is okay. A business model where all the labour you use to generate profit is unpaid is the wet dream of every corporation. Imagine generating millions in profit and brand growth on the backs of countless non-consenting writers and content creators, and feeling absolutely no need to give back. Worse, throwing a hissy fit whenever people point this out and then claiming to be a socialist that is concerned with worker exploitation.

    - Turned his response into a snappy catchphrase ("react harder")

      @@pickyphysicsstudent201 its called cultism. The Twitch platform is perfect for building an extremely loyal base of acolytes, because of the intimate and responsive nature of the content. I like Jay Exci's content, I enjoy thier witty commentary, but there is a healthy distance with this form of content between the creator and the consumer. I have nothing in common with Jay Exci apart from the fact that we live in the same country. But a streamer now, well a streamer is speaking directly to the consumer in real time. Streamer answers your questions. Streamer laughs at your jokes. Streamer thanks you profusely for the money you send them and blows you a kiss. And if a chatter is particularly isolated and in need of friends, this is all they need to subconsciously infer a deeper relationship from these handful of in jokes and positive responses. Jay Exci is a creator you like. If people talk shit about Jay Exci's content, well you may disagree but to each thier own. But Hasan Piker is your friend and confidant. And if people talk shit about his content, well now theyre insulting your friend. And we all want to stick up for our friends, right? Which is why Hasan simps will run rabid against anyone who says a word against him and make every lousy excuse and mental gymnastic they can think of to make it so that he's in the right actually. Unfortunately for them, Hasan is a slack jawed dumb*ss who hasnt got a clue what he's talking about, and now that the novelty of his good looks have worn off, people are starting to pay attention to the actual quality of the content. So Hasan cultists will be out in force more and more as Hasan's f*ck ups get more and more traction.

    I love this retreat to 'Hasan streams for like 8 hours a day, the guy has to eat and pee...' as a defence. No one forces Hasan to stream for so long. Its his choice. The guy isn't an employee forced to work set shifts. So the fact he has to eat and then leaves his audience to sit watching an empty chair is not an excuse. He chooses to put himself in that position and then his stans complain about the situation he has created; through his own free actions.

      Leaving the empty chair is fine if you just pause the video imo. I also watch streamers who stream for 8-9 hours say "i need to pee/grab food/etc., give me a minute" and leave the stream with nothing happening for a moment (sometimes with a sign or something to tell people they'll be back). The "he has to take a break" thing implies that hasan has an obligation to entertain his viewers throughout the entirety of the stream- even if that means just playing someone else's content- which seems to negate the entire argument. I genuinely cannot see someone having "good intentions" to stream someone's content and then not even watching it at all.

      @Bisquick 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I mean my contention with all of this is not that I disagree but where exactly the central cause of all of this lies and consequently how to proceed in addressing this, which instead of being placed on [insert individual scapegoat here] would be in the "mode of production" that orients _all_ of our individual material interests/incentives and reifies its boundaries of action subconsciously, possibility strictly bounded to profitability as determined by the deified "market" (praise be). To ostensibly put the blame here on people just sort of choosing all of this seems to be missing the forest for the mildly annoying trees, ie in the grand scheme of things this is so inconsequential and entirely an inevitable outcome of the material organization of reality we call capitalism more than any individual's supposed choice or essentialized shittiness/"badness". So again, why do I mention this? Well it informs what the actual solution is. So if we agree that existence _precedes_ essence, we must also agree that, as some guy put it,
      _"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living."_ - some guy
      In other, other words, getting rid of Hasan individually or him miraculously producing interesting commentary/whatever doesn't do anything to the overarching system that inevitably produces Hasans, this is no problem of individuals and ideas, material reality's organization at its foundation in terms of ownership/property is the core cause here and without addressing that this is merely just complaining to the manager essentially. No surprise really, all of our political orientations are cultivated in the narrow/limited ontological direction of individual consumer (rather than one of collective material consciousness, aka "class consciousness") to maintain a complacent non-militant class domination of the ownership class over the working class (for a historical juxtaposition, see like the optimates dominion of the late Roman empire), the origin of this "stealing" of "content" to begin with. I feel like I'm shittily explaining this, so here's that guy again to articulate better, it's the difference between an individual normative v. systematic descriptive consideration here basically,
      _"The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones.

    When I first came to Twitch in 2011, there was this streamer who took a break every hour. He spent the break playing video game music, with on-screen credit for artist and game.
    Now, 2022, there's a streamer I enjoy who takes a break every two or so hours and shows fan art during his breaks, accompanied by non-DMCA music, all credited. I found many great soundtracks through those breaks.
    So yeah the length of the stream sounds like a lousy excuse to me. You can just pause the stream, or turn it off entirely if you are away for a longer time.
    I enjoy reaction videos because seeing people give their thoughts or get excited or surprised at stuff is fun to me. A lot of streamers who's regular content I do enjoy just... sit there and do nothing. And Hasan can't even do that, lol.

      The issue with pausing the stream, the video, etc. is that the viewers aren't there for the streamer. They're basically watching a curated "program" with a chatroom. They're not there for *reaction* content. They're watching TV with fake internet friends.
      I don't think the viewers or the streamers of this kind of "content" are entirely aware that that is what they are doing. Because literally all it would take to improve your optics and massively improve your optics is a one-line overlay at the bottom where you copy/paste the video and channel name.

Thats why I think that these issues should be resolved on the platform level, like redirecting ad revenue to the real creators, stuff like that, idk, im awful when it comes to business models. But I personally also have a lot of issues with what hassan represents, he is an Image, just a signifier for socialism but he is actually capitalism in its real form. I like to draw an analogy with how companies work today. The company (hassan) spends time and effort to grow, then when established as a powerful entity in the market, they just sit and chill reaping the profits out of workers (content creators). And if he was honest about that, that would be okayish for me personally, but he wont admit. My guess is that the same image that he passes as a left activist but in his habits show something totally conformist to his actual world, is what his consumers also want. Just a sprinkle of "yeah! Capitalism bad, and now that i watch this I can feel good about living as a capitalist to the fullest, because Im in hassan lefty bros team, im not like the others"

    There's nothing my artist friends loathe more than a "customer" saying something along the lines of: "It will pay you in exposure."

The sheer arrogance of someone assuming they're so famous that they convey the Midas touch to anything they brush up against is staggering. They're literally implying that TH-cam creators should be grateful for the proximity provided by filling their downtime, that it elevates their work no matter how shabbily they use it. Networking is a part of a lot of jobs, and establishing contacts can be vital to success, but when you're not even bothering to contact for permission...? When you're making it someone ELSE's labor to discover your use of their content...? That's exploitation. It's nothing to expect anyone to be grateful for.

      If they were to actually go ahead and slap on a BRB Screen for longer than a few minutes (idk more than 5 - 10 mins) their viewership drops, chat engagement slows down etc. which is to some level a valid Point to be brought up. Since their "Engagement" literally persist of Chat going Bonkers with cringe Comments and Emote Spams and they themselves know for how much of a clownery their selling themselves for on these Platforms. Not to mention how "bad" it would be for them to pause stream by actually ending it while taking a real Break like a normal person for once while they cook, use the restroom or maybe even go for a walk (if you're into that) etc. and then start streaming again later.
      I 100% don't endorse this behaviour when done the way many of these big Streamers do it. I also hate how some of these big streamers force themselves "having to Stream for x Hours a Day/Week" but we can't forget they technically need to at least hit a certain goal for their Job to be profitable enough to keep doing it.

    @amberhernandez 2 ปีที่แล้ว +189

    There is an issue with something like partnered streamers like Pokimane and DisguisedToast "reacting" to FULL ANIME SERIES on stream: It gets views. On a podcast I listened in to, Jschlatt mentioned that he streamed Mario Kart with a few familiar names and got the standard view spike at the beginning and slowly fell off. He then said his next stream, where he reacted to something, the views just steadily increased. With minimal effort being put in, he was getting much higher views, all because he attached a popular series he was watching.
    Streamers that have to put on a show for Twitch's partnership contract are perfectly fine. A relaxed stream with a little reaction is fine, as long as you're willing to put in at least a little effort. However, putting on a video and just sitting there, leaving to use the bathroom, or watching full-length copyrighted movies and shows, is _lazy_ and _disrespectful_ to the source material.

    I love the "anti-react harder" argument. Like the idea of adding content to the content you're watching has to be boiled down to "scream and laugh" instead of actively adding your own dialogue and perspective. It's not about how much emotion you're putting into the reaction it's about how substantitive that reaction is. A good example of this is Asmongold, while reacting to videos, after each point is made he will provide his own argument against the point or will agree and explain why he agrees. He is adding content to the original piece by expressing his own interpretations of what's being shown. Oftentimes his reactions, which the video is paused for, will be 2 or 3 times longer than the video itself. His edited down youtube videos of him reacting to content are longer than the videos themselves.
    I also love the argument that "he streams for 12 hours a day" and that's supposed to make the breaks where someone elses content just plays uninterrupted and he reaps the benefits from it okay. Again, Asmongold does reaction content to multiple videos in a single day and he also pauses the video whenever he goes to the bathroom and will END THE STREAM WHEN HE WANTS TO GO EAT. Plenty of other streamers will actively put up a "i'm taking a break, brb" tab up when they're taking a break and need to leave their setup.
    I even have a perfect solution to reactors who don't want to put any effort into their reactions. Put up a black screen on your streamlabs overlay, take 5 minutes to give out information to the chat on where to find the video and give them a chance to pull the video up for themselves. Have them minimize the window so that it fits into the twitch window with the reactor's face in the corner. Get everyone to mute their window so you just have twitch's audio. Have everyone simultaneously play the video when the streamer is ready. You have now given the content creator all the views while you also have all the views and have successfully double-dipped without offending anybody. Sure, some of your viewers might get annoyed that they need to... *checks notes* take 30 seconds to search for a video and resize their window, but you have both helped the content creator get legitimate exposure and algorithm activity, but also gotten away with the exact same amount of effort. This even works for youtube reaction channels. You can make your reactions EVEN MORE beneficial than 200 extra viewers.

It is that or they are playing someone else's content to maintain duration time, while they rest, meaning it is just taking someone else's hard work for themselves.
    What does this say about the fans, apart from that they are just loyal to their internet-senpai and aren't there for any consistent product other than a familiar face, they're attached to?

      If the stream was remotely organised they could be respectful for instance if you are going to steam from 12:00-20:00 have a big meal at 11:00 and have snacks on hand like a little samwich maybe an oat buiscuit or a chocolate to keep energy up that you can snack during. You could also say "oh after this video let's take 10 minutes" and have a "on a break screen on" while you do stuff.
      I have seen several "12-24hours of something for charity streams" and I think a great example was during Tom-ska's gaming stream when they were switching the games around they'd play a pre-recorded,not seen before clip, of him and his co workers playing bord games that would last about 5 minutes so they had time to have a snack, go to the loo and switch the concoles or software.
      Another good example is from the now gone anime campaign, ttrpg by jello apcolyce either just after or just before a big plot point they'd take a break, usually about 10 minutes, and they'd do it usually about 3 times in a 7-8 stream, they used the group to their advantage as they'd be 6-9 people there at once so usually they'd tag team as 2 people would stay initially and do Q&A with the chat untill a replacement person came back.

      Let me point out a flaw in your statement 8 months too late: playing a game on stream is absolutely a type of reaction video.

    Considering how many top Twitch Streamers are trying to push the limits of DMCA by going for TV shows instead of just TH-cam videos now, I really hope people start being more critical about what being transformative means.

      They aren't pushing the limits, they are blatantly disregarding both the DMCA and Twitch TOS because they can afford to do: most big streamers only receive a two/three-day ban

      Would be cathartic to see some permabans come out of this, yknow, blatantly breaking the law

    Can't wait for twitch streamers to put this video on and then leave the room for 40 minutes of it to eat their mommy's nuggies

    the worst thing about this is that the entire time hasan's chat is just shitting on the video, saying its a copy of Dunkey's video. Its bad enough to steal the entire video, but then just to have your entire chat shit on the whole time is even worse
