Sam Hyde

[Fuck It We'll Do It Live]

For those who might not know, Elliott Earls has spoken about Sam Hyde/MDE before on his channel, Studio Practice, at least six years ago, again speaking positively about Sam's thoughts, this time in reference to a comment the latter (posting it using his MillionDollarExtreme channel) left on one of Earl's videos (How to Make a Formalist Avant-Garde Design/Art Object | Episode #21), that inevitably got shadow banned by Youtube:

Comment screenshot from Earls' "Art Critique is Broken. Fix It! | Episode #23" (6:36):

He talks about Sam Hyde from 6:13, particularly about how Sam is lampooned as the perpetrator behind atrocities.

Even though Earls invites his viewers to read Sam's comment in full in Episode 21 of his series, I suspect he was the only viewer who was able to read it in the first place, considering his upvote/like of it is the sole one:


Earls answers the question in full (for some reason he didn't screenshot Sam's entire comment -including that which is not visible in the first screenshot I've provided above - but he cites it in full anyway in his response) in "Comment Response for Episode 21 | Formalist Avant-Garde Design/Art Object":

He responds to Sam from 0:19 to 3:34, largely agreeing with Sam. Sam bemoans the lack of impact artists today (c. 2016) have on culture since Andy Warhol. Earls recommends a "hybrid model" for artists to follow against "institutionalized stupidity", citing Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

I kind of love the dichotomy of Sam Hyde either banging tons of trans people and being gay and him being seen as  the alt right boogeyman. These people need to learn how to just enjoy something and not be concerned about an artist or performer's politics.

Nigga, just don't think too much about the politics and enjoy MDE. Have a good laugh here.

I'm sure this is an entirely unoriginal and autistic thought, but I've been thinking about this a bit. Do you all suppose that a lot of the happenings with Sam/MDE as a whole lately are directly because of the whole iDubbbz thing? Even though Sam's intent was to fuck with him, he seems to have had some change in his attitude towards making content since then, and possibly considered some of the criticism from Ian regardless of their interaction. I couldn't have imagined him making any sort of sanitized youtube content like he is now a few years ago, and on stream he seems to just be himself rather than doing the ironybro shtick that Ian autistically tried to pick apart. Does Ian get credit for this or do you think he would have done it regardless?

Ian denies Sam Hyde having any influence over him getting into boxing after sparring with him. As such Sam gets to deny Ian having any influence on him.

theres definitely been a change. i kinda dont feel like ians inquisition had much to do with it but thats just imho. you also have to remember this has been a pretty slow shift. sam had 8-9 months after the filming of the doc until he released his cut. then he was doing the standard podcasts and bought the clips channel at some point. then he did the training vids with harley where he came off a lot more sincere. then mondo megabits. then his own boxing match and filming with brandon. a couple pka interviews here and there. and only started streaming a month or two ago. if anything caused the change, it was probably sam seeing his current public reception and realizing people dont lose their minds over him anymore and he can get away with posting on youtube again.

I'd just like to say, that Sam Hyde is to wiggers what Andrew Tate is to mulattos.

Most of my friends and even a few cousins of mine have gotten into Sam Hyde directly because of the iDubbbz video.

 

[EpicGamerMoment]

I opened up Sam's stream and all he's doing is eating on stream. I know I've bitched about this shit being low effort but I guess I want thinking of how it could get worse.

Honestly I hope WP2 starts soon his streams are a slog to get through

I think the only thing Ian gets credit for is bringing him into the light again and exposing normies to MDE.

Sam played him well, and was extremely lucky Ian didn't actually do any research on here, lolcow.farm or 4chan, if he had brought up any of this marky/tranny business publicly in a 5 mil view videos MDE would be over. No matter what he could say to defend himself the marky photos look bad.
Sam was visibly very anxious during the interview up until he realised all of idubbbz's "hard questions" were duds.

 

[raisinlove]

Sure some pathetic cuck like Ian dubs is going to bring up fake unsubstantiated 4chan rumors to Sam in person yeah ok bub. There goes all of ian’s credibility to Sam about the sincerity of the project

I think the change more has to do with Sam seeing the popularity of MDE clip channels that would post highlights of his pay walled content or repost older stuff that isn't available on official channels. The iCuckzz doc might've brought Sam a lot more attention but I think Sam has come back because he wants to make WP2 and likely needs to generate more money and buzz around him/MDE again and that's a bit hard to do when you hide your content behind paid subscriptions that only people who have been following you since WP know about (which is like 7 years old at this point)

Sam was definitely alt right in 2015/2016. Don't know about now tho.

And during 2015-17, he was blamed by the media for some major tragedies, like the Paris and Vegas shootings. And yet to this day, he just can't keep getting away with it.

Elliot Earls wanted to tell "an interesting story about Sam sometime" back in January 2017 (probably the same one he would tell later six years later on his channel this month), when prompted by someone else on Twitter that he had "just subscribed to HW”.

More importantly, the quoted tweet is from Cranbrook Design itself, which tweeted a Youtube video:

Controversial Adult Swim & YouTube personality Sam Hyde speaks on AIR Elliott Earls Studio Practice in this video.

Unfortunately the video from the link is no longer available. The tweet is from Cranbrook Design so it could have been hosted on their channel, or on Elliot Earls' own Studio Practice Youtube channel, which appears to be referenced in the tweet.

When Google searching the Youtube link, I've found two 4chan /lit/ threads that mention it:

It was apparently a video close to the Hyde Wars style of Sam not using irony. It was also available as early as December 2016.

I suspect the video got deleted after Sam made unwise comments about journalists to the Los Angeles Times later in 2017 and the likes of Cranbrook wanted nothing to do with him. Perhaps Elliot Earls himself only felt comfortable taking about Sam when enough time had passed but he comes off as a fearless and sincere fellow so I doubt he would have removed such a video without serious pressure placed on him to do so.

I wonder if anyone could either ask Sam during any upcoming livestream of his if he remembers what the video was about (and if he even has a copy himself) and/or Elliot Earls if he could recall the subject matter (and also if he has a copy, if at all).

"Blamed"

You're making it seem like this mass murderer was innocent

I think the idubbs arc showed Sam that YouTube would no longer instantly nuke anything mentioning him and that there was a path forward for him utilizing the big platforms. He was paroled from internet jail and didn't even realize until then.
