    the only reason Hasan has a platform is he’s a nepo nephew…

    Hasan’s platform is Twitch and he’s largely built up his following by doing the same influencer circuit as everyone else.

    If he’s got any aces up his sleeve, they’re that he’s gorgeous, he’s quick witted, and he got in on the ground floor when DSA was blowing up

      I don’t think this is correct, both Hasan and Asmongold are a part of Night Media and I’ve seen no attempt by Hasan to leave. Hasan is also weirdly kiddy-gloved when talking about Asmongold, at least it was like this in the past.

      Granted, Night Media employs a lot of people — I just don’t believe Hasan got to where he is by simply hitting the influencer lottery.

          Which part? Me claiming that him winning the influencer lottery doesn’t seem random, or him working for Night Media?

          Edit: Literally every source I can find attributes his success to his time in the Young Turks and The Breakdown, why the fuck are you all going to bat for a nepo baby? Is it because he says things you like?
