I can't reply and I haven't watched either episode but when Keem said Ethan stole his podcast idea I think he meant his former podcast baited and not moms basement? Baited had the same concept of 'two friends who disagree on a podcast together' and in every episode they would get into a yelling match. Baited started (and ended, somewhat) in 2016 and Ethan was on one of its episodes so it's not like he wouldn't know it exists.
That's correct. And with that in mind, it makes Ethan's defense of “What is Mom’s Basement other than just a couple of dudes talking? What’s so revolutionary about that?” sound like less of a defense and more of a braindead attack. Keem might be stupid a lot of the time (Ethan harped on him this episode for not knowing what Chernobyl or a metaphor is), but he's good at laying bait for Ethan to walk into. Not sure if he's reacted to this, and I doubt it would be very interesting anyway.
I kind of agree. I listen to Ya F#cked It at work a lot and it’s funny and I laugh at it but I would be completely unable to remember or recite any of the content. It’s a pretty retarded podcast though, so it’s not like I feel like I’m missing out on anything by not remembering or absorbing the content.
I’d imagine Ethan’s podcast is along the same vein (only infinitely less funny) in terms of the “it’s just something I listen to while I’m at work” category of Web 2.0 white noise.
Ethan has this rare issue of having a podcast that's so forgettable and boring, you could very feasibly listen to it during work or while mowing the lawn, and you'd absorb just as much either way. It's so boring, and you bring up a fair point by suggesting that this may be a benefit. But at the same time, I've noticed just how frequently Ethan relies on visuals. Optional video on a podcast is iffy, since you can't edit around it. But borderline required video just makes it even harder to work mindlessly around. The ideal H3 listener has three hours to kill sitting down and watching a podcast, and I can't imagine how they don't kill themselves out of boredom.
The
about section on her website is so bizarre - the first part is meaningless babble where she talks about herself like she's some kind of plant that needs specific considerations to grow properly and the second part is like a "write something about yourself" assignment that a slow 8-year old would hand back to their teacher after having to get help from their parents:

Can't say I'm surprised that this is h3h3's audience tbh
Late, but I wanted to readdress these two redditors also. The first one's Twitter account reads exactly like you describe - half the time it's like a bot, the other half it's this weird stuff that reads like someone who just learned what a paragraph is. Sarah deleted her reddit account. I didn't archive it because a) didn't expect her to find this and b) I didn't really care. But she immediately posted on Twitter about posting a thread to r/personalfinance last week, so she's not exactly making it hard to track her down. Her
replies-to-tweets actually have some weird h3h3 thirstposting. It's getting
archived this time around.
David, on the other hand, is not only a patch-wearing abomination of a person, but he's also a furry on his TikTok. He hasn't deleted anything. I didn't actually watch through these YouTube videos until you posted that one, but holy shit is that song terrible. No pitch at all and writing that makes Russell Greer look like Max Martin. And while it
looked like he was playing more than one chord, it certainly didn't
sound like it.
