There are few things that are more monumentally fucking annoying than Philip DeFranco. Of all the bugmen pestering society, he has got to be one of the worst. There's a case to be made in considering him to be worse than Klein, since DeFranco is more of an inconspicuous, slithering snake than Ethan, who is very upfront with what kind of a bumbling asshole he is.

Defranco is a straight scammer; A con artist.

His biggest scam so far is convincing his fans to give him money to build a “news network”. He just took the money and never mentioned it again.

He literally earns millions for reading internet articles. Why did he need the money, again? There is no “news network“ that’s for sure.

But nobody calls him out because he is just boring, Besides being a scammer, he is not thread worthy.

Ethan Klein will never learn. Jordan Peterson's prophecy about Klein becoming the tail of the ouroboros snake fell on complete deaf ears. If he can't see that the new audience he has created will eat him from the inside out, then he is completely lost. How hard is it to understand "my audience is mostly liberals now, they will get mad when I say edgy stuff." I think he still has a lot of that old anti-sjw humor in him that never really left despite his attempts to rebrand himself (think Nyanners).

Dan, the main h3 crony and head janny that was telling chat to shut up and unsubscribe, is also getting shit on from twitter. Imagine having to come into work, a dogpoop infested studio with flies everywhere, to brown nose your boss and bitch at his detractors only for his rapid fanbase to turn on you for edgy jokes. You get what you fucking deserve.

It's just sad. Like you mentioned, Ethan has no self awareness whatsoever to realize that his brand of "edgy" humour has no space is the little bubble of the internet that he carved out for himself. And it's entirely his fault. When people rightfully call out his bullshit, the mental gymnastics (and denial) put on display would put even the most testosterone filled trans athlete competing in a female highschool sports competition to shame.

Whenever Ethan has his whatever subpar hot take, you can't even get mad at him. Personally the feeling I have is a mixture of cringe, disgust, and pity. It's just sad to see what he has become desperately clinging on to whatever trendy topic he can milk.

Like you said at the end, whatever he has coming is entirely self inflicted. He also can't pretend like there was no warning whatsoever. People who use to like him in good faith warned him and he decided to not only just ignore that advice, but also gaslight them.
 
Everyone knows that if you want to stop a tranny from going on your property you need a ScareTerf; it’s like a scarecrow but it looks like JK Rowling and proximity sensors that once triggered emit the sound of “you will never be a real women”.
How do you recommend a random text for the sites page? This seems fitting.
 
Some of the comments in his last episode are saying Ethan takes meds without reading the bottle first and often takes too many pills. That’s pretty fucking funny. Can somebody who can stomach his podcast tell what’s going on?

ETA: I skipped around the episode; Ethan looks and sounds terrible. He’s uninterested, mellowed out, bloated, and greasy (more than usual lol). I couldn’t find any parts explaining what’s going on but Ethan is really fucked up on something.
Looks like Nikocado with greying facial hair and a beanie
 
Ethan is not an intelligent man.
I wonder if it's starting to sink in and he's throwing a tantrum over it. Ever since his take on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock went against his audience he's doubled down and come out with more bangers liberals would hate like threatening to shoot people with a semiauto and joking about gay men taking it in the ass.

He's almost ready to tackle the tough issues like "Can Asian people be racist to other Asians" and "Do sex workers have orgasms"

I wonder how long it will be until he completely alienates his audience.

He does not do live reactions very well. I imagine this will happen again in the not-too-distant future, but maybe he'll accidentally attack an even more sacred cow than gays. Maybe he'll say something about black people in the ghetto or brown people living in shantytowns in the third world.

The whole live reaction thing is a sign of his failure, anyways. The best streamers (in my limited experience) only rarely rely on their chat to push content, because they can be engaging on their own. Bad streamers use their chat as a crutch to make content because they're unable to be engaging otherwise. Ethan turning to live show segments and relying to such a degree on his chat is a sign that he can't come up with engaging content anymore, even despite having a studio that's way too large for no discernible reason.
 
Ethan Klein is basically a more weird version of Jimmy Kimmel without the huge amount of Hollywood-based writers coming up with his jokes. Sure, people can say that Kimmel is a hack who currently thrives on making TDS popular and mocking Republican and Middle America voters as if it’s still the Obama years, but he at least has been known to conduct interviews with people he regularly mocks (while pretending to be in the middle):



You can’t even begin to imagine Ethan doing interviews like this. He’d literally act as if he has to have the moral high ground on almost every subject that he knows nothing about.

And speaking of Kimmel, h3h3 used to be known for actually criticizing him for putting ads and trying to bank on the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting at a country festival, while Jimmy pretends to fight for a good cause to curb gun violence:

 
I can't imagine spending three hours next to Ian "I'm still mad about your DMCA" Washburn and his BPD Onlyfans whore of a wife, but here we are.
Edit: someone in BP made a post breaking it down here.
Does Ian's audio sound atrocious to anyone else? Tinny?
Does anyone else hear a bit of reverb in their studio?

What's the point of spending god knows what on a studio, crew, and equipment if the shows sound like this?

His sycophants don't have standards, have you seen what they're willing to buy from Hila?

I remember the years of SourceFed, where they slowly drifted to modern Defranco until he just sold it or whatever. His news network scam was after that iirc.

Yeah, the News Network scam came after.

DeFranco also, only became popular because he used pictures of hot women for his youtube videos back when youtube promoted videos based on clicks

And he films in a living room set to give the impresson he is an average joe giving the news from his home. In reality that's just a set built to seem like a middle class home. And he lives in a huge ass mansion.

I will never understand why people trust this guy. He is sketchy as hell.

He is a bad as Ethan Klein. He is just better at hiding it.

I'll admit, DeFranco and Ethan had that in common: an attempt to seem like your average joe who is trying to give you some content to amuse you as you go about your day. DeFranco admittedly had me amused up until he ended the Semi-daily vlogs he had Joe Nation do, and then that's when the mask started to slip for me, and then promptly fell off when DeFranco threatened to stop doing his daily news if Trump won.

Ethan for me began to slip when he started the podcast, and the OG content died off in the process, then the depressionposting, and sudden WACKY MOBILE GAME WHERE I'M A BALL, followed by his "hey I gotta make a living too" video. Like you said, DeFranco was more subtle, whereas Ethan lacks that, and, in some respects, like Ralph, is blunt and to the point at face value, but is snaking about while you're not looking.

Because his followers and people he surrounds with are more annoying and awful than he is. He's basically just any redditor or IFLS fan personified. He's not even a real person.
