The TRUTH About Hasan Piker....

Hasan Piker is one of the most popular people on the internet right now, concurrenting over 50 THOUSAND live viewers over on the streaming platform on Twitch, with over a million subscribers on YouTube. He is one of the most popular people on the internet, an e-celeb. But he originally was a politics guy. This turned off a lot of people who are mainly political heads, as he went into more pop culture stuff. But is this a good thing?

I've made videos criticizing Hasan Piker quite a bit in the past, but after viewing a few of his recent videos breaking down the Kai Cenat situation, as well as Andrew Tate, I've come to see that his content now (maybe always?) has lots of utility and quality. Here's the thing, we here in the political space are very insular with politics and away from pop culture stuff. I try to make it a goal to cover pop culture stuff because it affects all of us, there's no reason not to cover it, and it all comes back to politics. Here's the thing, he's uniquely different from a Kyle Kulinski, or a Sam Seder. He's an e-celeb, so his influence and audience transcends that of the echo chambers of one political side. Also, in the online space now (unfortunately), what everyone respects is CLOUT. If you have CLOUT, they respect you. Especially other content creators. So using his relations with people like Adin Ross or Bradley Martyn, he is able to influence them in a positive light, to use their influence more intelligently and correctly, as we can see with him talking to Bradley Martyn and Adin Ross about Andrew Tate.

He also puts out a lot of good messaging like about systemic misogyny and feminism etc, which reaches an audience that is mainstream and not echo-chambery and solely related to politics. This makes his influence MASSIVE. MASSIVE power. This makes him an overall really good force.

This also may just be a fallacy of anecdote, because I've only watched those two videos really, but an annoying thing about Hassan was that he would just spend his stream raging at dumb people in his chat. He seems to do less of that now, but again, I'm only basing that off of two of his videos, lol. Ethan Klein also has teamed up with him, doing the reverse, going from e-celeb to political commentator, which is also dope.

Overall, Hasan is a very good political force, that transcends political niche commentators like myself, Kyle Kulinski, or anyone else in the political scene, because he is watched by EVERYONE.
