      If I remember correctly, idubbz apologized for all the slurs and misogyny a few years back (ironically I think it was in an interview with H3). He realized he had been unintentionally courting a right-wing fanbase and grew up. He seemed genuine.

      Sad to see how far Ethan/H3 continues to fall

        He also did a video on Sam Hyde, someone he had some kind of affinity for and I think the process of doing that, of experiencing Sam Hyde in person, and really made he introspective. I can’t remember if this was before or after what you mentioned. But I remember he finished that video and he clearly didn’t have a positive experience.

      I never really followed him (just knew his reputation) but he made a video not long ago that I couldn’t avoid where he talks about his old content and the community he cultivated and how he wanted to change and I found it really fascinating to hear him reflect, personally I think it’s worth a watch (I’m remembering now that this video legit made me cry hearing him talk about his realizations that he was hurting his fans and people around him): https://youtu.be/iRkCfOuW_u0

      It seems like a bunch of commenters on the Ethan video missed this memo from a year ago lol

      I’m looking at some of his videos in the last few months and he has ones dunking on anti-abortion and anti-trans conservatives

        Based. I’ve thankfully been free of the YouTube commentary space for years so I missed this development
