Incidentally that’s why Sam was able to one up him.
Look I barely know anything about Sam Hyde besides the fact h3h3 plagiarized his comedy routine. I can buy what his a-logs say that he is alright, racist, or whatever. I really don’t care. I am not his fan.
But one thing Sam certainly isn’t is an idiot. To play an idiot convincingly you need to be smart. Ian was dumb enough to confuse the real Sam Hyde with his character. And then he threw a childish tantrum once Sam ended up manipulating him instead,
Ian was so cringe in fact he ouright though he was a genius “puppet master”, in his words, when in reality he only uses mentally challenged people for views. It wasn’t just cringy, but he objectively became a worse person than when he just said random curse words like a teenager. So much for his so called new found maturity.
Sam so completely destroyed Ian, that he had to cope with his levels of irony circle (which he plagiarized from another YouTuber by the way).
Ian absolutely started to believe his own hype of internet meme badass. In reality he is a cuck and a sellout with no principles of his own. And as a cherry on top he gave the middle finger to his old fans that made him what he is today,
What a disappointment he ended up being.
