Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

Ethan Klein and H3. Before the Israel stuff happened in October, the silliness was enjoyable because it seemed like the guy had an earnest, intellectual curiosity underneath it all.

I dropped off when he stopped making content and switched to the podcast full time. Seems like every 6-18 months Ethan has another controversy where he accidentally lets his mask slip and a whole new group of people find out he's actually an asshole.

What did he ever do? He seems to be the YouTube equivalent of famous for being famous. I've tried watching but it's a lot of nothing talk and seemingly contrived drama with other YouTubers who also talk a tremendously long time about nothing.

He gave a few lukewarm takes but the worst one was probably him sticking with "we gotta get rid of hummus" which is literally impossible because every time the IDF does a genocide tour through Gaza they create three times as much Hamas as they destroy.

He really hammers on the "both sides are bad" when almost everything in the conflict is clearly israel's fault. It's like the teacher punishing both the bully and the bullied kid when the bullied kid fights back.

edit removed a rumor that's most likely untrue from further research
