Hasan and Twitch Streamers are STEALING from YouTubers!? The MASSIVE Problem with REACT Capitalism
The ethics of streaming someone’s YouTube video have been long debated online. Last year, Hasan streamed a Jay Exci video while cooking and eating dinner, sparking a wider conversation about if there is inherent exploitation going on in terms of streamers essentially padding their stream length in an effort to make more revenue.
Jay Exci released another video last week calling out Hasan, while GTA speedrunner Dark Viper added the theory in a 14 page document outline how react content is broadly theft of YouTubers work - describing it as React Capitalism. Calling out both Hasan and Moist Critikal, Critikal then responded to the document before backing down and conceding that is React streams were not always an appropriate transformation of the content.
However, Hasan took to Twitter to say that 99.9% of YouTubers actually love him featuring their content on his stream regardless of the context… Which many YouTubers (including myself) greatly objected too.
In this video we go through the recent drama and discuss how the react stream content can be reformed in a way that is more far to original creators on YouTube.
