I don't like what he represents structurally and eventually his class interests will probably turn but I like agents of chaos and he's the only streamer I bother watching. He's hosting at least some of the things I'd want Twitch kids to watch and is actively hostile to toxicity in the kind of bullying way that I like about this community. If Twitch must exist and it must be a radicalising force, may as well be someone saying/doing most of what I'd say/do in his shoes.
Yeah I'd turn on him in a heartbeat if he stopped drawing attention to the structural contradictions that allowed him to be profoundly successful. I do think he does a good job trying to break the communism is when no money attitude of a lot of internet leftists. That, and he rapidly attacks transphobes, which is great.
His breaks that stereotype while constantly framing it within the labour theory of value. I'm not sure what actual monetary value should be assigned to entertainment, especially as someone who thinks modern art is invaluable, but whenever I hear him talk about it he's saying that it's all value he is generating. No employees and hates the idea of having them, no capital beyond the channel and hates the idea of investing, gives his IP away for free so that the message is extended by every small channel cutting up clips. Mods and twitch backend employees should both get a cut at his expense but otherwise it's a one-fella operation. I take more of an issue with Chapo for paying their editor a wage.
I hate the prevalence of parasocial relationships, but damn, I can't help but love Hasan.
