He’s responding to a shit ton of anti-zionist twitter accounts through his instagram stories and throwing a tantrum about them. Go to r/h3snark to see more of them

      Esp since his career started from reacting to other people’s content for money.

      Like my guy, you’re famous because you watched a video of some guy named “Joey Salads”, who pisses in his own mouth, do some cringe pranks. How fuckin productive do you think you were?

    “luxury is when 5 pound bag of cheese snacks”

    Motherfucker, that’s exactly the problem, we don’t want 2kg bags of snacks, we want fucking housing and a stop to genocide

      And his crew does pretty much all the labor to make his show run, while he contributes nothing to the conversation and Hila barely says a word all episode. Why is Hila even there? I’m not saying this because I even like the people that actually make the show. But, that crew could all leave, make their own show on internet drama, and be successful.

    • Primarily makes reaction videos
    • Historically does not research topics before speaking on them
    • Stopped making creative content on his main channel once the podcast was lucrative
    • Mistreats employees (caught on hot mic doing so)
    • Can’t handle criticism

    Also, not that this is even a negative thing on its own, but it’s bold of someone who struggles with weight and is an unhealthy food enjoyer to shame someone for food they buy. It’s a complete non-issue and not reflective of someone’s character, but of course, Ethan has to find any angle to attack someone he feels threatened by

      He apparently does not talk about how he lost all the weight that he lost, but it’s pretty clear the subtext is he used something like Ozempic.

      Now, I think that’s great. Ozempic is doing wonders for people I know, and I support his use of it, but it’s also very clear that he believes or has believed in the past that it is a form of cheating. It’s also entirely possible that he believes he’ll be accused of cheating. He is so critical of other people’s weight that, too then openly admit his struggle with weight loss and the necessity of something like Ozempic would make him look like a total ass, unless he also acknowledged and apologized for all of the hateful things he said about overweight people in the past.

      I don’t think that’s very on-brand for him though, so we won’t see that any time soon.

        He has talked about ozempic in positive terms. And he has been open about his weight loss. I believe he personally didnt use ozempic and he really hasnt shamed anyone else for using it, that i can remember. His weight loss started before the ozempic craze, but it took a year before people noticed he was getting thinner.

        He definitely has an unhealthy view of food, calories, and weight though

          Fair enough. I remember him doing dozens of types of diets, getting a trainer, being on Wellbutrin and complaining the whole time that he was getting nowhere. From what I was reading on the H3 Snark the loss came on sudden and fast, 5lbs a week, but this was after I stopped watching so maybe I’ve got the wrong idea.

            I don’t know the specifics but I remember him detailing it a while back. It seems more like he lost 10 or less lbs per month, and has just been doing basic caloric restriction. Before I remember him doing intermittent fasting and other stuff before, but I think this was pretty much just normal calorie counting.

      He is constantly body checking, fat shaming, food obsessed. He lost weight but still has a disordered view of food and weight, and obsesses over it (not as much as he obsesses over being a zionist though)

    Politics aside this guy’s content fucking sucks. Like I used to try getting into his stuff but he’s such an uninteresting hack. Like I rather sit through fucking Joe Rogan somehow.

      I remember when he used to be relevant. Made some skits that were kinda funny for the time. He was always on that “anti-SJW” grift tho. Not surprising at all that he swung this way.

    LOL all of that message just applies perfectly to what he’s doing to those accounts right now? Except he’s a grown man with a wife and kid(s?)? projection

    Oh sorry, I forgot, if you believe in nothing then the fact that you’re not doing anything useful is fine, but people who do believe in something need to be wielding AK-47s and fighting in the jungle 24/7 or else they’re larping.

    Capitalism’s strongest soldier here being the one who owns no capital and produces no value. Some kinda projection about him realizing he is useless to society

      I mean, he sucks but he quite literally own capital with the podcast and all that, and it does make money obviously. It isn’t a very significant amount, akin to a small business tyrant, but let’s be real here.

        I dunno, I refuse to accept a podcast as capital. I’d have to read more theory but that is just straight up a scam or something. Like, news papers own news printers. YouTube owns serves. A website is a product on someone else’s capital. I feel like it woud count as something diffrnet.

          It is media. Any other media production enterprise owns the capital to produce their product. The studio is capital, and the general continuity of the show is a form of capital (an audience who will tune in, some of them paying money). And of course all this capital requires labor to be operated, which ethan exploits.

          Teddy fresh has definitely exploited more labor on a larger scale, and is more easily seen as traditional capitalism.

    Ethan is exactly the kind of guy who gets his brain broken by the weaponized misuse of terms like Tankie. Haven’t thought about this dude in like 4 years but this is exactly what I expected.
