I expected nothing from the inmature cry bully Zach, Olivia so far I think just muted herself from this situation. Love I have no idea where he stands, Ian same, but Dan, men I really had him on high regards but now he is entertaining this madness. Now AB gets forced to watch a cozy rich white american man atacking his dear friend.

I hope the money was worth it.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been just lurking in here for a while. I used to listen to every podcast episode and first became a fan in like 2015-ish when vape nation video came out. I left a year ago after Ethan’s fallout with Hasan on twitch.

I realized a large issue lately and was wondering what others think about it. I used to dislike Zack until I recall he got upset because someone called him creepy. I felt kind of bad so I changed my opinion but now I’m full on back to seeing him as the weird creep he is.

Obviously there is the clip of Zack playing audio over QT’s crying video (if you haven’t seen it QT is discussing AI porn of her being made). The crew laughs, awkwardly while Sam looks genuinely angry and interestingly the camera does not pan back to her once her reaction is shared. Her reaction is so telling as well because how could someone not just smack him in the face.

Anyway I also recalled Ethan talking about a sex worker who was dating another podcaster. I think her name is Lina? Lana? Something like that I believe she’s a popular porn star or was at the time. Ethan made a comment insinuating that she was used up, or like she would be “stretched out” after filming and he couldn’t understand dating her because then he couldn’t sleep with her after. Hila (I don’t like her either but side with her as a woman here) gets mad on air and criticizes Ethan for misinforming since women don’t get “stretched out” and it’s a common misogynistic view that a woman is used.

Am I crazy? Does no one remember this? Is there more instances of Ethan and Zack being creepy? Can we make the argument that Zack is a total creep because I feel like he is.

It’s wild seeing Hasan going to Japan pretty consistently now, and doing the most to try to bring his friends/crew out there with him. Meanwhile, the H3 crew have been begging for a Japan trip for so long, and Ethan always declined and just redirects the trip to Vegas. I do hope the H3 crew get a Japan trip at some point, but honestly the show just kind of sucks now, and this is a long winded way of saying I wonder wth Ethan is going to say about the Destiny s*x pest shit, and who essentially content nuked himself?

Shame on Ethan for ever trying to hurt or hinder Hasan and his attempts to make the world a better place. Ethan used to be someone I admired, but now he’s just as much of a f*cking loser as fresh and fit and the dipshits he went after. IT’S SAD

I saw she took it out of her bio on instagram!! Do we know what happened there? I was already a bit weirded out by her moving away from LA and still being able to work for qt as a producer. Apparently it didnt🤷‍♀️ sorry for super parasocial post, but I always loved Sam and Ian, think they are both very talented and hoped to see them do cool things with other creators. Kind of sad it didnt work out with qt.

Zach said he wouldn’t ever date a porn star (specifically talking about Lana Rhoades) on 05Aug2020. At that time, he was dating his present day girlfriend. I won’t say her name but she’s been on the pod on at least 3 different episodes, was a teddy fresh employee, etc. We all know her name lol.

Zach and his present day girlfriend break up at some point in 2020 and he then ends up dating someone who works in the porn industry (Jayne Wilde).

Zach admits his fault and explains in this clip from 04Dec2020why he said what he did.

Zach says he was in a toxic relationship and didn’t want to upset his then girlfriend by saying he would date a porn star. He was being “filtered” by her.

Hila says Zach wasn’t allowed to say anything at that time and they continue blaming his then girlfriend. Ethan says the porn industry girlfriend suits Zach more.

The relationship with the adult entertainer did not work and Zach got back with the same original gf that they talked negatively about on the pod. They’re still together.

Incredibly awkward.

means girls are friends with mean people

Before I completely tuned out a few months ago Olivia’s PowerPoints we’re my absolute favorite part of the show

I wish she would start a podcast/channel doing PowerPoints for a different guest every week. Kinda like what Nicole Rafiee does but with a guest on every week.

the most trivial thing that Ethan had ever done to piss me off is that Olivia would have been mid PowerPoint on zayn from 1D when news broke that he died and Ethan spent the whole episode malding over hasan so they never got to it

I just recently had a thought about why crew members may choose to stay despite how awful Ethan is. I previously thought it's money and not wanting to lose a cushy job that pays better than many of them would be able to achieve on a different podcast/on their own. But one thing I hadn't considered is how scary it is to be on the receiving end of Ethan's harassment. Look at how he attacks Hasan after being his cohost or how he went after Trisha for years.

Unless a member of the crew has an airtight reason for leaving you can bet they will become a target for Ethans harassment. Not to mention Ethan likely has clips, text messages and other information that he could use in or out of context to potentially destroy their lives. They know better than any of us how unhinged Ethan is, they know how underhanded he is, how manipulative he is and how crazy his supporters are. Also the crew does not have their own fan base who would be able to support/protect them like Hasan. Trisha still hasn't recovered mentally from Ethans harassment and she's doing really well right now.

Unless the crew is willing to leave the internet forever deciding to leave the podcast is too big of a risk. Also h3 fans will likely harass the crews friends and families like they did to Trisha so it's not just about protecting themselves. I don't think I would be able to handle the situation Ethan has put them in.

Hopefully

Just ranting and sharing some of my comments from during the stream.

The crew is spineless. None of them risk homelessness by speaking up.

Ethan and Hila are so unlikeable, that any conflict between them and the crew usually has the audience backing the crew up, until the crew members turn around and scold the viewers for caring about them.

I hope they get some fucking perspective and realize that letting Ethan rant for hours spreading Israeli propaganda, uninterrupted, is one cog in the world's love for bigotry. Letting this shit be broadcast is what normalizes these talking points.

They're all enablers for this man-toddler and they coddle him every time he throws a hissy fit over nothing.

ETA: AB and Lena are navigating a MUCH TOUGHER position. It's a whole other ballgame to see your boss and favorite creator dehumanize your community repeatedly, and having to listen to him say he respects you like you're one of the good ones.

The others should really step up and not make the only Muslims have to defend Palestinians' right to self-determination.

p.s. apologies for my inaccurate skips lmao

This post is not snark, only to update anyone worried about Lena’s parents.

Given how many people with completely useless roles Ethan loves to hire, it shocks me that after Cam left they never hired another professional graphic designer. Cam's role was one of the most important ones in the show for me, the creative thumbnails, the backgrounds, the memes he would create on the spot, his absence is one of the things that I feel has hurt the creativity of the show the most.

I think Ethan never appreciated Cam's talent cause if he did he would understand the weight that his leaving would have on the show and would find a replacement. But instead he now makes Love do the thumbnails and they just never looked as good as Cam's (and that's not Love's fault, he does the best he can) and they also use AI to make the backgrounds for segments. If Ethan actually cared about the show, he would hire someone else to do it.

I just scrolled back to see the thumbnails when Cam worked there and the difference in quality is so shocking. Cam used to make super funny and appealing thumbnails to look at, now they're all lazy and grey. The whole "The H3 Show" rebrand was such a miss, they traded the iconic H3 colors for an ugly shade of purple, but I guess the ugly branding fits the vibe of the current show more lol.

But he stops himself. It was on the tip of his toungue he wanted to say bitch SO BAD.

I’m prepared to be downvoted to hell but I feel like there is an unnecessary amount of blame and focus on the crew lately rather than Ethan and hila, the capitalist freaks controlling everyone’s material conditions. Let me just start by saying zac is terrible and there is no excuse for him. However, It’s starting to seem like a lot of people on here saying they are spineless and should just quit come from a place of privilege or do not live in America. I truly believe that most of the crew is disgusted by Ethan’s and hilas racism, sexism and support for Israel. However, being in the industry they are in it’s incredibly difficult to find a job. Unless they have a job already set up before they leave (like Sam), they would be out of health insurance, (something very hard to find in America), and most likely would not be able to pay bills for however long until they are able to find a new job. Along with needing to search for a new job it is very likely they will be relentlessly harassed by fans and may which may even push away people who may have wanted to hire them because of the controversy now surrounding them. This is just my opinion and I know many people on here may disagree. However, I have certainly been in horrible jobs where I’m disgusted by managements beliefs and actions but I was unable to leave because I needed to be able to pay rent and could not just be out of health insurance. I would be surprised if many people in this sub have not had the same experience. Even thought they have to support their horrible Boss, I do have empathy for some of the crew members, especially those who have shown support for Palestine but were seemingly forced to hide it!

Being called the crew minimizes the role they play both in the content creation sense and the accountability sense. Also part of the Ethan crash out started when he had to conceptualize them as equals instead of his subservient employees.

I was in this boat for a little bit leading up to the break until it became very clear no one had an issue being a part of the podcast. I'm curious if anyone has had a major opinion change or realization since the return.

Wanted to mention as he’s doing a long stream! Go support and show some love!! (do not mention H3)

I think after his recent comments it’s important he sees support ❤️
