Comments by "LancesArmorStriking" (@LancesArmorStriking) on "Responding to this again... (ReactGate)" video.

As we've seen in Viper's video on this, what little data we do have on channel engagement from large reactors shows little effect on the channel views or subscriptions.

@GAMEOVER-yy6zj Games are qualitatively different. Every playthrough is different owing to the open ended nature of a game. It's not like a video, which is linear and is the exact same no matter how many times you play it. Seen it once, seen it all. There's no speedrunning or pacifist video runthrough. Also this sounds a lot like people trying to bash Bernie for selling a book to discredit his actual points. Even if we assume DarkViper's a total hypocrite, his points are still correct. No matter how many times I click 'Do Not Recommend, Has keeps showing up...

At risk of getting firebombed here: I think Hasan is absolutely part of the problem with lazy streamers. In fact, he's among the worst. Yes, his political content is very transformative— pausing and giving commentary (or even yelling at people in chat) breaks the pace of the video enough that it can be considered its own thing. That being said— the criticism isn't about his streaming as a whole, it's about his NON-POLITICAL streams. I don't think I need to point out how un-transformative playing someone's whole video while you just eat quietly in the corner of the screen is. For those of you tripping over yourselves to play defense for Hasan, "what he can't even EAT now, omg you people are literally unironically brainbroken-" Nope. He's more than free to eat. He just can't play someone else's content in the background. It's way harder to add commentary when your mouth is full of food, (not like Hasan does that anyway and for that I'm grateful) so knowingly playing a video while you're unable to add anything transformative is no better than pirating a movie, except instead of a big studio you're depriving income from a small creator. Add to that Hasan Chair content which I hope I don't have to explain and you've got a streamer who's successfully toeing the line. It's not so egregious that he'll come in the line of fire like xQC, but it's just bad enough that it's taking traffic away from other streamers (the ones whose content is organic and by nature less frequent) and YouTubers who just watch Hasanabi clip channels. Like seriously how hard is it to put up a BRB screen when you're eating or leaving the chair? He's never addressed this. I'd like for once for Hasan to answer the question instead of crying "sO yOu wAnT mE To DiE?! I CaN'T eVEN EaT!!" No you idiot, no one's saying that. Stop with the red herring. You don't HAVE to play other people's videos while you're gone or unable to speak. So why don't you put up a BRB screen?? Rant over. Fuck content stealers

@Orunoyo No, there isn't a precise line for what's deemed transformative. That's why fair use law is sometimes judged on a case by case basis. I would personally think that anything over 70% of a video being played with no pauses would constitute piracy. But again it also comes down to content. If Hasan interrupts very often but it's all "that's crazy dude" or Turkish laugh then I'd argue that's also just playing the video. Like I said, it's mostly his non-political videos. The Johnny Harris ones come to mind.

@InaneBlatherPodcast Nah it ain't that deep Is the universe also telling me that Family Guy funny clip compilation is the sign I've been looking for💀

They appear in Recommended wherever people watch them or not. I've been actively avoiding watching Hasan or any reactor videos of any kind, it showed up anyway

@faery8826 I did that multiple times and it didn't work. Hasan videos keep showing up, I guess YouTube pushes his videos over other creators, and that makes me sad

 @Chipotlesizzle Why is it ridiculous? Just curious.
