It's been highly amusing to watch the Antis and Haydurs turn on a dime on the issue of Hussy's constant e-grifting. It really underscores how completely false and disingenuous they all are and how what they profess to believe is guided entirely by short-sighted, self-serving, tribal affiliation rather than anything even approaching a dispassionate appraisal of players and circumstances.
All of a sudden the Haydurs' eyes have been opened and they can see that Hussy is a mercenary money-grubber who treats his audience like a piggy bank while comfortably surrounded by scratch-off tickets and going clubbing every week. He barely made any money off of YouTube so Adsense wasn't even going to make a dent in his NYC living expenses. Hilariously, I've even seen Haydur orbiters on Twitter celebrate his demonetization because "that's what he gets for only targeting one person on his channel" — and they actually meant
Charlie Gold, not Chantal.
The Antis, meanwhile, would have you know that Hussy is a poor little church mouse (


) who needs the GFM to get through to the end of the month due to how critically his demonetization has hit his personal finances. Anyone who suggests that he constantly uses his audience as a piggy bank for frivolous expenses is just a clown. And that iMac? He needs it because he's legally blind,
you monster!
The most hilarious part is that they'd each furiously insist that these are principled stances grounded in their heartfelt beliefs and their good faith, most dispassionate appraisal of players and circumstances and not at all positions that are informed by disingenuous, strategic, solipsistic tribalism — even though, if Hussy reversed course tomorrow, they'd turn on a dime again in a heartbeat and fervently disavow tomorrow what they fervently avowed today all without blinking an eye.
Cows, all of them.
