I'd only heard of both of these guys by cultural osmosis up until today when the H3H3 video showed up in my recommended for some reason. Up until today, I just knew the names vaguely as some kind of Big Internet Bro people on YouTube. I thought I'd bite, and whilst I found the video informational as to why Keemstar is a massive prick who borders on what seems like the sociopathic, something about this Ethan character isn't passing the smell test, either. It takes two douchebags of similar proportions to maintain an e-fight for this many years with this much vitriol and real-world interference. The dick measuring is never going to be over between these two. They're like two guys who keep screaming at the top of their lungs that they're "over it," meanwhile the vein in the forehead gets closer and closer to bursting with every passing second.

I won't exactly grieve if Keemstar is removed in the end, but I do think it's a bad precedent to have set by removing him. Same can be said as well about going after the sponsor, but... Let's be real... These guys were already engaging in various flavours of doxxing, stochastic incitements and all the rest of it, so this going after the sponsor thing is kinda small potatoes for them really. I don't understand why that's almost seen as a bigger deal than the SWATting, which has gotten people actually killed before.
 
I don't pay a whole lot of attention to Ethan but is it true he Jarbo's people on Youtube?
No. Jarbo is like an elemtary student telling the recess lady that you said a bad word. Ethan is the kid whose parents are friends with the principal and when asked "how is school" he tells the principal a kid did something he didn't like so the principal makes doing that against the rules period.
 
I don't think it's a shit take, necessarily. maybe just a bit optimistic. he's a popular enough creator that people would still associate with him, and keem is hated near universally. personally, if this was directed at a better-liked creator, I'd agree.
Well I say “shit-take” just cause I normally wouldnt wish for people to be deplatformed, other than guys who directly go against YT guidelines to exploit kids (like those creepy elsagate channels, daddyofive, etc). In this case, I mainly just hope that if Keem did in fact get deplatformed, things will only worsen for Ethan. The smugness and self-righteousness he exudes had become so unbearable.
 
This shitshow is like one great big upper decker: it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Goddammit, Keem should've just mentioned the fupa fund so Ethan couldn't get away with making a little smarmy smug video like this one.
I've totally been noticing that. She really doesn't like his spergouts, but she doesn't want to directly contradict his 'authority' on camera, so she just drops a subtle hint (which he ignores) and begins to seethe while cringing. You can just see it all on her face like an open book and it's uncomfortable af to watch. It reminds me of having to serve as a go-between for a waiter and a racist grandpa.

@NeilBreenLover69 Thanks for the detailed reply, the Payday thing totally makes sense now. How sleazy.
No problem
 
Shit take: I feel like Ethan getting Keemstar removed from the platform might actually be a "step in the right direction." Why? Well, if the points about Etika + going after sponsors was already enough to get other large YouTubers raising their concerns, deplatforming Keem would do far more harm to Ethan's reputation than good for the platform as a whole. Sure you'll still have a ton of fans championing him as "the guy that slain the evil Keemstar", yet he'll also be known as "the guy that gets people removed from YouTube over petty beef." By that point, you're talking about so many creators wanting nothing to do with him.

I don't think your take is shit, but I don't think it would quite play out like that. It's too optimistic.

People not wanting a fucking thing to do with Ethan probably isn't gonna stop him from taking people out that grind his gears.

Look at Kraut. That's a guy with far less clout, who a good portion of the Internet hates, that still surfaces every once and a while to be an annoying and autistic manbaby in his crusade against the "alt-right." Resorting to every dirty trick in the book in the process. Now apply that mentality to a dude who has significant money and viewership. That's what Ethan is becoming.

By Jarbo I mean going off and DMCAing peoples videos that have any of his content on them or even mention him.
 

Looks like Ethan just uploaded a response video - so far it is just rehashing more years-old drama and not actually addressing any of the points Keem makes in his video.
I only know Bashur for his breakdown vid, but Ethan feels the need to bring him up so I'll ask: is he a real pedo or not?
 
I genuinely don't understand you people, this idea that "lul keemstar is scum but so is h3h3", it's just so disingenuous, when this infamous video is the backbone to your claim. Hyped up as the greatest hit piece ever h3h3 had it removed, I watch the shit and all the complaints are petty at best.
90% of it boils down to "his not funny to me anymore" or "i hate his podcast" or "here's a clip of him being cringey", or "look he said the n word/used to be edgy!", it's a big nothing burger, especially in context of this keemstar shit.

Like I was thinking y'all had him pegged for something genuinely immoral, like investing csgo lotto(keem), lying about people and damaging their livelyhood(keem), telling a manic person to "just jump off a cliff". Anything that can be seen as objectively bad, immoral or terrible that he has yet to denounce, but it's really just a disappointed x fan making petty criticism of such low gravity and weight. Nothing in the video paints him to be a scumbag or an evil person like you all claim, it seems you're all just frustrated with the fact that his genuinely well liked and successful despite his content being what you perceive as worse then before.

setting the precedent of "spam sponsers to make them drop people you don't like" is pretty scummy.

For context he's talking about the Gokanaru vid. I didn't expect him to just copy-and-paste the same thing he posted in the H3 thread.

I think the general consensus is that both are pretty shitty people.

Hi Ethan! Welcome to the Farms! :)
 
setting the precedent of "spam sponsers to make them drop people you don't like" is pretty scummy.
No it's not? Unless you're a literal baby. It's like you have no integrity, to you this is just the internet and not real peoples lives who get harmed when youtube news mans slanders them or belittles their mental health. You just want a slap on the wrist via dislikes and unsubs, instead of real tangible consequence.

Sponsors only care about if their sponsorship is a net postitive, and they have no obligation to make the moral choice. They will turn a blind eye to all the evil things keem has done if they can. H3h3 video, makes it impossible for them to ignore him, so he gets dropped as he should.
This isn't a new concept, nor is it a slippery slope.
He got dropped because the vile things he did could no longer be ignored by his sponsor, this will not harm anyone so long as the content they don't do evil vile things they can be exposed for. Any assertion that this sets a dangerous precedent is pure disingenuous fear-mongering, with absolutely no rational justification.

I apologize to all for resurrecting 2017, but it has to be asked. @leberman17, why does your name echo?

YOU need to be at least 18, I know it must hurt to see an opposing opinion in your echo chamber, but if you're an adult with a functioning brain you should be able to address those claims, instead of this pussy ass response. But if you're the smooth brain child you make yourself out to be, i understand. First time out of the circle jerk little baby?

turning around and saying "no u!!" isn't exactly the best way to convince us you're not a child.
