Hasan laughs off \u2018ReactGate\u2019 Twitch drama: \u201cCreators don\u2019t mind it\u201d Twitch: HasanHasan Piker has laughed off DarkViperAU\u2019s claims that Twitch streamers reacting to other people\u2019s content is a form of exploitation, insisting most content creators actually don\u2019t mind it, including himself. On February 7, DarkViperAU posted a 14-page document claiming Twitch streamers who spend hours reacting to other people\u2019s content are \u201cbad people\u201d who \u201cexploit others\u201d to benefit no one but themselves. Naturally, his document drew a reaction from several streamers, including Mizkif and MoistCr1TiKal. Miz claimed he\u2019s trying to stir the pot because he\u2019s \u201cirrelevant.\u201d Moist said an \u201cunhinged rant\u201d overshadowed the few valid points he made. Hasan commented on it too. At the time, he wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s wild that this is even a conversation when most people love watching it. The overwhelming majority of content creators (including myself) love when people react to whatever we make.\u201d Later on stream, he claimed he\u2019d never watch something without permission. \u201cIf I watch a content creator [and] they don\u2019t want me to watch them\u2026 I immediately stop watching and say I\u2019m sorry, and I never watch them again,\u201d he said. However, he insisted most content creators don\u2019t care about it. \u201cNinety percent of creators don\u2019t mind it. They like it when we\u2019re watching their videos. I\u2019m a content creator, and I love it when people react to my videos.\u201d He also tackled assertions that he doesn\u2019t react hard enough. \u201cI do react hard, okay. I react so f**king hard that there are entire memes about how much I pause. We totally forgot about this for some weird reason.\u201d He believes people who claim otherwise have never watched his stream. Instead, they\u2019ve based their opinion on compilation videos. \u201cYou have a false notion that I do this thing where I play a video and move on.\u201d Hasan isn\u2019t the only Twitch streamer who has downplayed the react content drama. Asmongold also joined the fray. \u201cHow can you say react content is bad when I have people messaging me to react to their content?\u201d he said previously. Despite their comments, though, DarkViperAU hasn\u2019t backed down. He is adamant that streamers who react to other people\u2019s content are seeing their viewership numbers increase at the original creator\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
