Agree with this 100%. For some reason people want him to publicly denounce Jontron when it isn't needed. If Ethan decides he doesn't agree with jontron then he would tell jontron privately. Ethan making a video on jontron is the same as Leafy fucking over his friends and their YouTube careers for money.

OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!

I'm been question on some people about this. If I'm just a regular Friend (or better yet, A Childhood Friend) of JonTron and foundin' out about what Jonny Boy has say, I would tell him "JONNY BOY, WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME, DID YOU FUCKED UP BOI!!!" and we have a civil discussion and We'll be fine with that.

but If I'm an YouTuber, I'm facing a lose/lose situation, Should I help a friend out to alienate your fanbase or backstab your friend to save your fanbase, but backfires in the process?

off-topic, some people are saying that H3H3 might get sued for attacking Nicas for Defamation, meanwhile PewDiePie (and the rest of us) has no problem attacking Ben Fritz, another WSJ guy and rest of the journalist.

[–]mexpend 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Doubt it will go anywhere for defamation because they would open the doorway to get sued for defamation of others. They wouldn't be helping themselves after their PewDiePie blunder.

I don't think you realize the responsibility ethan has taken on as a youtuber who profits from posting his personal life and beliefs.

All ethan would have to do is stop putting others feet to the flame for their beliefs and no one would care about if he hung out with jon or not, people care though because hes always holding others to certain standers but when it comes to people questioning his standards apparently some of you guys think it's now too personal and none of our business.

I just written a Blog Post about the fanbase, which also includes taking responsibilities about being a Famous Person. which happens to include my reply to you on it, you can read it on my shitty website if you like.

I can probably summarize my reply to you right now with Black Mirror Season 3 Episode: "Hatred in the Nation". Famous Person's Responsibilities can have consequences, even if its a small and dumb one.

[–]TheAlmightyV0x [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

are you ok that Ethan apologizing a guy who happened to work with the same organization who almost destroyed PewDiePie? I would go ahead and read Nicas's article, but since WSJ wants me to subscribe to sign me, I'll wont read it.

So you haven't read the article, admit you haven't read the article, but you're talking like you know what it's contents are.

Meh, I could go ahead and write a Twitlonger, but instead I did it on my website due to me being a bit experiential.

That's right. When did Ethan become an elected representative on Youtube? It's not his job to comment on anything and everything that happens in the world, just on things he particularly cares about. I thought he'd weigh in on the Jontron situation but tbh I can see how after the clusterfuck that's become with Jon getting dropped from a game and raked over the coals in the media while also not doing a great job explaining his views that Ethan thought "I ain't touching that". Besides people are getting fucking way bent out of shape by Jontron as well, they act like he's been funneling money to an underground militia and assaulting random people in the street. FFS the guy made a cringeworthy video. Fucking get a grip on yourselves.

[–]KANNABULL 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (2子コメント)

You mean to use social platforms and news to manipulate larger companies to pull their exposure so that with the new internet privacy legislation people can literally use analytics to determine which stocks in the exchange market are being researched the most and essentially determine the rise and fall of shares at cost and manipulate the stock market? I agree, this is all about insider trading when you see past the youtube advert developments. Now if you'll excuse me I have to wash my aluminum beanie....

[–]wafflehat [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

How did SJW manipulate anyone? Sounds like you're still believing in some faked screenshots, bud. They presented real evidence. The companies that backed out did so on their own accord.

[–]KANNABULL [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

My comment has nothing to do with whatever everyone is mad about honestly I still don't understand all that. I've just been doin' a bit of research on the stocks, some very suspisciousness activity in the volume of certain stocks. If you want to research it yourself I would start with Disney in the past three months, and then AT&T/Verizon in the past few days. My comment is a comical take on this being bigger...maybe than most people think.

[–]widowmakerOP [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

But like, he isn't?

Why would the WSJ fear youtube? The WSJ is a well-respected orginization that's consumer base are mainly the wealthy. Youtubewill never overtake them in terms of news, most news channels on youtube use articles they didn't write and could be operated by anybody else.

As for Jack Nicas, all Ethan has shown is how hypocritical he is being. He makes videos on how it's terrible for someone to make an article on Pewdiepie trying to ruin his career when Ethan has done the exact same thing to someone who he hasn't even proven as a liar, in fact, Ethan was proven to be wrong. And even now fans are attacking him online, which will only hurt his current lawsuit since it will show how he can cause witchhunts quite easily.

What Ethan did by not investigating this was make it harder for people with actual arguements and facts to be taken seriously. And people are blowing over that fact by making excuses of "It still seems fishy that there were similar ads". Not really though, since they were probably going to it over and over to get more than just one example of a Coke ad, as most credible journalists would do. Youtube doesn't automatically show updated views, everyone knows that.

FYI, I know I have never posted on this sub, don't call me a brigader as a scapegoat. I follow the Youtube scene, I don't have to post on this subreddit to have an opinion on a current event.

[–]itsajaguar 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (5子コメント)

He very well could have had Nicas' career and livelihood ruined by posting a patently untrue video because he couldn't take the time to do his research before he made wild and damaging accusations.

[–]churrrls 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Hence the retraction video

[–]antisocially_awkward 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (2子コメント)

But he didnt retract shit. He still was spreading conspiracies about the guy for half of that video.

[–]churrrls 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I dunno boss. Seemed pretty retract-y to me.

[–]antisocially_awkward 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean, watch from basically the half point on, he should have just ended the video there but he stood by his conspiracy that wsj is trying to destroy his preferred platform based on screenshots from a random racist guy on youtube. If that's the proof he's going to use than he looks like an idiot.

[–]halfmanhalfvan 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (5子コメント)

For exactly the same reason the people of this sub wanted Nicas lynched

[–]churrrls 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (4子コメント)

People wanted Nicas held accountable, like kind of how Ethan should be held accountable for this mistake, which is why the retraction video was necessary. This was a big goof on papa's part but should his life really be ruined for this? I don't think so.

[–]wafflehat [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Accountable for what?! On the basis of fake evidence construed by Ethan. Those aren't the same things. It's not a "goof" and I'm so sick of seeing everyone trying to play it off as some small mistake. This was a huge mistake on Ethan's part and he put the livelihood of a journalist in danger, who is still being constantly harassed by Ethan's millions of followers. When you have the kind of reach that Ethan has, you just don't do that shit and get to keep the moral high ground.

[–]halfmanhalfvan 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Of course it's overboard, but that's the nature of mob rule. Check out Jack Nicas' twitter mentions. That's not accountability, that's a mob.

[–]churrrls 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Trolls attacking Nicas and trolls attacking H3 can both be in the wrong independent of each other.

[–]halfmanhalfvan 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Okay but what I'm saying is that's the Pandora's Box Ethan opened. He knows full well the nature of witchunting and how ochlocratic the internet is, particularly when one figure can be pointed out as literally hitler. It's more than trolls being trolls, ordinary normal internet goers like you and me jumped on the bandwagon and the same is true the other way around. The point is that Ethan is suffering the consequences of the seeds that he sowed, and I don't feel sorry for him, because he of all people should have known the consequences.

See also Jonah Lehra if that's how you spell his name.

[–]jayhawkfilm 44 ポイント45 ポイント  (51子コメント)

Yeah, I really don't get this hate against Ethan. He fucked up, and then totally acknowledged and recanted. Is that so bad?

Furthermore, the point about him and JonTron is so true. I think JonTron is a piece of shit, but Ethan and Hila feel indebted to him for essentially giving them an income and kickstarting their Youtube careers. To be honest, if I were in such a situation, I would probably not want to burn that bridge either.

The public has a short memory. That doesn't change much online. In a month or two, this will be just like the Pewdiepie thing - it won't matter.

That said, I do think JonTron has a permanent mark against him now.

[–]ARandomPerson15 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (39子コメント)

Imagine the WSJ did the same thing. Now ask yourself if everyone here would forgive them, or if they would still be out for blood.

I understand why they don't say anything, but it does feel a little hypocritical to go after other people, then when it hits close to home you say nothing.

[–]mexpend 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (29子コメント)

I'd have respect for a news corp that publicly retracts statements and apologies for such. WSJ has yet to do so, hence no respect for them.

[–]ARandomPerson15 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (28子コメント)

But nothing they reported has been proven untrue. Why would they issue a retraction?

Also that was just hypothetical to show that fans want Ethan to be forgiven quickly, but they would not be so kind too others.

[–]mexpend 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (27子コメント)

Nor has it been proven true by anyone other than themselves. Couple that with their PDP blunder and it brings to question their integrity. Why didn't they reach out to YT to prove beyond doubt that ads were shown on the video?

Ethan retracted the statement because he found that the original video wasn't 100% accurate. Seems others are on the unforgiving train for any views they dislike. Didn't see much kindness for PDP when his stuff was taken out of context to slander him. Cherry picking clips to mislead an audience and you want others to believe the WSJ?

[–]wafflehat [スコア非表示]  (15子コメント)

Lmao, jesus. WSJ has no responsibility to prove Ethan wrong. If Ethan is going to make accusations, he has to prove them wrong. This bullshit rhetoric needs to end.

[–]mexpend [スコア非表示]  (14子コメント)

They don't but their claims can be questioned with evidence that hasn't been replicated yet. This rhetoric where a media outlet is just true because they say so needs to end as well.

[–]wafflehat [スコア非表示]  (13子コメント)

Sure, it can, and it'll most likely be shut down just like Ethan's was. But, if a newspaper that has been around for 150 years and is for the better part of that 150 years well-respected and a trusted investigative news source, you better believe I'm going to trust them.

What needs to end is the rampant trolling, harassment, and death threats that proceed whenever someone's fave YouTube entertainer makes a video about a publication, news source, etc. It's dangerous and childish.

[–]mexpend [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

Yet a well-respected news corp doing the same is perfectly fine. That is why they are losing trust because of yellow journalism. I don't blindly trust.

[–]wafflehat [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

When did they do the same? When they took a clip of PDP holding his arm out and surrounded it with him wearing Nazi regalia, paying people to hold up a sign that says "Death to all Jews", and other anti-Semitic jokes?

I don't think I'd really qualify those as the same thing.

[–]ARandomPerson15 [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

Why didn't they reach out to YT to prove beyond doubt that ads were shown on the video?

Well thats easy. They saw the ads. Why would you reach out to YT for confirmation of something you saw?

Look Ethan was the one who made the claim that they are fake. If he's making the accusation he needs to provide evidence and it looks like he doesn't have it.

Cherry picking clips to mislead an audience and you want others to believe the WSJ?

Same publication but different author, why would his credibility be damaged by someone else's actions. Is H3H3 less credible because Keemstar is on Youtube?

[–]mexpend [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

Unbiased primary sources tend to be better than a bias group that has shown they will slant the truth and stand by it.

Look Ethan was the one who made the claim that they are fake. If he's making the accusation he needs to provide evidence and it looks like he doesn't have it.

Hence the video retracting the original claim. It doesn't change the skepticism the WSJ has created by their quality of content about YouTube and YouTubers.

Same publication but different author, why would his credibility be damaged by someone else's actions. Is H3H3 less credible because Keemstar is on Youtube?

They stand to gain by driving advertisers away from a platform that eats into their business model. Credibility differs from person to person. Depending on the person, H3H3 could be more or less credible than Keemstar.

Look we are running around in circle here. If you saw an ad on the video would you contact youtube to confirm you indeed saw an ad? Is that an effective use of your time? If you saw a Mountain Dew at Walmart would you call Pepsi to confirm that they indeed sell to that Walmart?

They stand to gain by driving advertisers away from a platform that eats into their business model.

Again a claim with nothing to back this up. You are essentially claiming that the WSJ is conspiring to damage youtube. Where is the evidence for this claim.

Also how does YT eat into their business? The markets are completely different. Look up WSJ demographic there is very little overlap so the ads wouldn't be effected by YT.

Hey now, if the logic is that if I see it hurting their business model, why would I have to back up the claim more than I have?

If advertisers can make more money on one platform versus another, they will normally spend where they can make the most. That isn't to say they won't spend on the WSJ's website ad space, but they would be less likely to spend more where they don't have a greater chance of profits. I checked the ads on the WSJ and MainGear had an ad there. Seems there is overlap.

There is an overlap in ads but not in demographic. That's what I was referring to. Companies would never cannibalize their coverage by advertising on WSJ vs YT. They would be hitting different audiences. YT isn't eating into there business at all.

I think the thing about him apologizing would have entailed that he was completely wrong. Ethan still doesn't want to overturn the possibility that the pictures weren't doctored.

I agree that it is possible, but I would want to see different sources be able to come to the same conclusion. There is a lack of evidence that it has been repeatable even among the increase in traffic for the video because of the exposure.

EDIT:Let me be clear. He was wrong. Absolutely wrong. He made a huge accusation against something that didn't even hold up for a day. But he's a youtuber. Not a huge newspaper. Why are people getting so worked up over what people won't even care about a week from now?

If level-headed people in positions to create positive change, they wouldn't be hoplophobic. Knee-jerk reactions are fuckups in the long run. Cancer is a far more delicate and complex issue all together IMO.

This isn't a huge deal, but it doesn't impact content creators that do little different that the MSM and they are getting flak for it. YT has had to overreact to appease the masses with their demonetization.

Tbh I think some of it is over-exaggerated and some of it is warranted - yeah he fucked up, and has yet to apologize for it. He also has yet to retract any of his false statements I mean in his video where he explains why he took the WSJ vid down he literally doubles down on those accusations..

I've been a fan since 2014, i've spoken with OP earlier in the day so he's talking about me when he says "people are questioning his relationship with john!".

I poked holes all in OPs comments from earlier, he got mad and posted this. Personally i've already partially forgiven ethan mainly because I believe he will make a better apology video then the one he has up, what I don't agree with though is this idea that the guy who criticizes every thing isn't deserving of a little criticism himself. People like OP saying "Ethan should be able to shame racist while also supporting them without you questioning whether or not he's a disingenuous person!" are so ridiculous.

How is he not a hypocrite? He accused the WSJ of bad journalism then did the exact thing himself.

He's a hypocrite on the JonTron thing as well. He makes a living from being the "voice of reason", calling out YouTubers for being shitty people or just ridiculous. His defense of PewDiePie was that the WSJ was misrepresenting the context of his videos to make him seem racist. Then JonTron comes out as an actual unambiguous racist, and Ethan conveniently ignores it. it might be because JonTron is his friend, but that doesn't make him any less of a hypocrite, and ruins his credibility if he wants to continue making a living positioning himself as the voice of reason.

Publicly ripping off racists makes them go away and keep their mouths shut. The less shit they spew, the fewer people get infected. Some diseases need to be contained before being cured.

This is literally the Anakin-level argument of, "If you're not with me then you're my enemy." You expect him to come out in public, denounce his friend and throw him under the bus, whether or not said friend did say some terrible shit or not. It's not virtue signalling. It's not "being" a hypocrite or being "decent". It's needing to see someone talk ill just so you can feel like they did something, because if they're not with you then they're against you, right?

When someone makes such unabashed racist remarks, and you don't call them out on it, and continue to be friends with them and joke around with them, what are people supposed to assume? "Yeah I know he never said anything against his racist shit and still hangs out with him despite his racist shit, but clearly he cannot be thinking similar things or at least be okay with such thought".

the work of a friend is not to expose the other person for personal gain, it's to help him and be there for him when he fucks up and to call him out PRIVATELY on the bullshit they say or do.

Yea all that good he's done standing up to youtubers.

But hey, his friend hates black people. He's given a chance to practice exactly what he preaches, use his platform to say that's not ok.

But nah, let's exchange memes instead. And as diehard fans one must stick by him? I had a friend use the word nigger around me and am no longer friends with that person.

I'd say implying black people are inherently more criminalistic/violent is far worse than that. Ethan is a coward and a hypocrite.

Edit: It's not that he is the root of all evil. No one is saying that. It's that this channel has based itself on calling out hypocrites and otherwise malicious youtubers and is seemingly against witch-hunt esque media.

Yesterday we learned this channel is not above doing exactly what it has claimed to fight against. The WSJ video wasn't "we don't know if this is true or not". The video was WSJ used faked photos(probably in all caps correct me if I'm wrong). The title did not leave any room for interpretation. It was as witch hunt-y as it gets.

It was clickbait. And it really showed what kind of people h3h3 are. No research was done on their end. They accused a giant company of doctoring photos. The fact that they didn't stop to think about how heavy of an accusation that is is just embarrassing.

Or they did know how big of an accusation it was, and if true it would have been a huge hit to WSJ. But instead of verifying sources and building a case we have the current situation. Any amount of time spent thinking about the situation would have shown just how ridiculous it really was.

But I guess when you really want to get that clickbait video out, none of that matters yea?

The amount of controversy around the JonTron issue shows how conflicted Ethan must be himself.

I don't think him calling out Jon would necessarily be an act of treachery. Sometimes friends need to call out other friends for doing shitty things, and that's okay, if it's done correctly. And I admit, I am a bit worried about Ethan's silence on the issue, because it brings into doubt whether he actually disagrees with Jon's views.

Having said that, Ethan has no obligation to make a video on Jon. Regardless of whether they're friends or not, denouncing Jon would likely invite swathes of hatred and fighting upon his channel.

At a time like this, when he's under a very expensive and stressful lawsuit, and then adding onto this WSJ fuck-up on top of that, Ethan's under a pretty severe amount of pressure right now. Commenting on the Jon drama right now would be a bad idea for his mental state and probably bad for the channel. Honestly, I think Ethan just needs to apologise to Jack Nicas and move on.

Ultimately, nobody can force him to call out Jon, and even if he should, the circumstances are not right. I understand why he would want to keep quiet on it, and I think most people in his situation would want to as well, considering their friendship and how heated of a topic it already is.

Idk this site but the video at the bottom gets pretty bad, basically he says that the US should stay majority white and that he's afraid that soon whites will become the minority. He tries to explain his reasons for this by saying things like that non-white immigrant values don't align with white values, and that wealthy black people commit more crimes than poor white people -- there's lots more in the actual video.

Gonna watch/listen to the vid, but last I knew he was called a Racist/Nazi because he was in a livestream with Sargon, which is the most stupidest thing I have heard in a while. Also while I like diversity, I understand the point of the US staying not mostly white, but with the culture that's in it rn. While the treatment of natives was not a good one, The US of migrants from Europe and the country that was before with the natives is not the same. And not as a person living in Continental U.S (Puerto-rican, so technically a U.S Citizen, our culture is really different), I would say that I would like to also protect my culture. At least in mine race is not important, and I would say the same thing about the U.S. but protecting culture is really important, since culture is probably the most important part of the social aspect of human beings.
