He was the largest single donor to the Amazon Labor Union. He gave money to the anti-Israel student encampments. He did at least 2 fundraisers for Gaza aid, which raised $1 million each.

He allows strangers to monetize clips of his stream on youtube and gave youtube specific instructions to allow it.

He bought his house on a 30-year mortage and it was like $2 million in West Hollywood, which is low for that location, most of the cost of his house is the location, not the size of the house.

Something you should know about celebrities and even politicians is that they often don't buy their own clothes. Clothing companies mail free (expensive) clothing to famous people for advertising purposes. A lot of people mail Hasan a lot of free shit because they like him. He used to do a segment on stream where he would open stuff that people mailed to him.

Also he doesn't do investing, capital gains, usury, etc. He doesn't hire employees. He doesn't do wage labor value extraction.

Also all his production team is a coop of which he's part, and all his merch is made by a coop

His production is a coop right? Why would they also form a union?
