He got a lot of good will for being on the right side of a fair use lawsuit back in the day, and gained more credibility after distancing himself from his edgy past. He was in enough with the left to start a podcast with leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Unfortunately for him, the podcast only radicalized a lot of his community, so when he got into a fight with Hasan over Israel and associating with tankies, most of the viewers took Hasan’s side. He spiralled from there into the litigious monster he is today.
He was early early YouTube. I discovered him more than 10 years ago when he was just shit posting weird stunts around LA. Imagine my surprise when I learned he had coasted into the 4 hour podcast circuit.
I hope it wasn’t a huge amount of money riding on that bet. I don’t know who that is.
H3h3, but it’s probably for the best
I know of his more recent fuckery, but wasn’t he always a bit of a problem child of YouTube? Maybe I’m misremembering.

Out of curiosity, who is it actually?
It was Moviebob. After leaving the Escapist he’s become… let’s use the word “unpleasant”.
Eesh. I liked him on The Escapist.
