    He produces edited videos via multiple video editors that agree to the work, but he does not pay? (I’m only peripherally aware of the guy)

          I agree to an extent, but regardless, editing 7-8 videos taking hours of work should be paid. That this wasn’t until he went to the community’s subreddit about it is ridiculous. Video editors doing work for you is something that should by default be seen as paid work, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone to do it voluntarily.

          The guy shouldn’t have made the assumption he had an editor position in the bag and that this was a guarantee, but Hasan having received and published this work shouldn’t have assumed it to be free cause nobody does that. It’d be a completely different story if Hasan never published the edited vids.

            It’s unique that the edit went up on a channel he controls.

            People editing podcasts and streams and building unauthorized/unofficial channels is super common. I can see how that makes this even more murky, in a way where Hasan can be “huh? What? Whatever bro.” About it.

            Messy messy quasi-parasocial stuff.

              Honestly? You make a good point.

              Perhaps in regards to that I’ve misjudged him, but there’s still a number of things I think he’s said and done that have done more harm to left-wing politics in the states than good.

              Not that it does anything, but I’ve gone ahead and downvoted myself on the initial comment. I don’t like deleting posts I’ve made, even if my mind has changed since making them.
