Journalists did this with tranny Youtuber
Contrapoints half a decade ago. In 2018-2020, a lot of media outlets published articles and/or news reports (VICE) about how he was going to save society from the alt-right and TERFs with his slop essay videos.
Not did that not happen, but Contrapoints has now been cancelled by his own fanbase over a dozen times for acts of wrongthink – mostly "transphobia" and "zionism". Five years ago, it was hard to imagine that he would be cancelled for any of those things. Yet here we are.
In five years time, Hasan will very likely have done something that will have caused his fanbase to turn against him and cancel him for not being radical enough and/or wrongthink.
