Creator economy ethics: Debates around 'react creators' shape content and platforms
The controversy surrounding H3H3Productions and 'react creators' points to ongoing ethical and intellectual property debates within the creator economy.

Yeah bro, Hasan verbatim said “I don’t care if rapes happened” It kind feels like he was supportive of what was happening to any Israelis
