explanation of the scam https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1qe3a5a/popular_subreddit_livestreamfail_mods_and_mythic/

archive of the reddit thread https://archive.is/Gbin2

Stale2000 aka u/tarrot_card was the top moderator of r/livestreamfail and used the subreddit to promote Destiny clips and snark posts against Hasan. The scam looks like some kind of lottery for "$20 million". In the video, he vows to create an "alliance" of reddit moderators to take on Spez.

Hexbear's disdain for bodyshaming leaving the body the moment they see this guy

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I dunno, but as an extremely mid-looking (at best) white guy, I feel like I should be allowed to say that this guy looks exactly like I'd expect a Destiny enjoying reddit mod to look.

I also happen to be a reddit mod myself, so all things considered I think I have the pass.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Oo this guy's a piece of shit, great news everyone we can talk about his body all we want!

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I know this is at least lookism-adjacent (there has to be a better word than lookism) but I find it absolutely hilarious when dudes look like their stereotypes. If I were to draw a "destiny subreddit moderator who promotes a scam" then that's the type of guy I'd probably end up drawing.

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

I've never liked that quote. I've plenty of friends that aren't conventuonally attractive and I know of plenty of dickheads that are conventionally attractive. I understand what it's trying to do, but really all it ends up doing is reinforcing "hot people = good". It's something J. K. Rowling would put in one of her books to explain why the bad guys are fat or something.

I don't think you understood the quote at all.

It's an opportunity to say it once more: how the word "influencer" is used so casually and neutrally by everyday people baffles me. How long would it take to become normal if a few cute celebrities said "Hi, I'm a manipulator! I get paid to control public opinion for companies :D "

"Content" is almost as odious for how blatantly non-descriptive it is.

My favorite responses from the video:

The CIA couldn't have gotten this out of me with a car battery.

I swear to god we all entered in some crazy alternate universe after that fucking gorilla was shot

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

It was a week before that, a weasel climbed into the Hadrian collider when it was on. That's where it all went wrong.

Seriously though, this shit is all the result of a half century long conspiracy, from the 1971 business round table, the first iteration of the long game of business to undo the new deal and the political power and wealth of the working class.

It is not long after that you can see things happen one after another. The fear of the other in the crime waves. The capture of agencies. The democrats becoming more captured by the rich, the corruption of science. The unions get infected with mobsters. The rate of inflation is changed to understate it (several times, by 2008 social security checks would be 1,300 more a month on average under the unchanged rate,) and just them attacking and undermining any sort of rival power base.

They aren't stronger than we are, they are organized, and we aren't. That is all it would take, organization. Although we may be nearing the point of no return from the abyss.

Has this person been doxxed now?

Can you imagine how fucking jealous this man must be of Hasan? This guy would be someone who cares about looks and the whole manosphere. I can picture how much he must seethe that Hasan looks like a himbo

[–] dead@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't think he's hiding his identity. In the video he says his name is Bryan and he lives in San Fransisco. His twitter says his name is Bryan Wade. He used to work as a developer for twitch.

https://xcancel.com/stale2000

https://www.linkedin.com/in/brcwade

He's been a harasser of Hasan for a while. His reddit created the dog shock collar conspiracy theory.

Before destiny's followers took over LSF, there was a rule that submitted clips could not be edited and only direct links to twitch could be submitted. He changed the subreddit rules so that people could submit edited deceptive clips of Hasan's streams.

Destiny's community was also collaborating with Congressman Ritchie Torres to try to force Hasan to speak in front of congress. They wanted Congress to punish Hasan for being anti-Israel.

There's a video of Stale2000 saying that he's trying to coverup Destiny's pedophilia allegations by asking Destiny supporters to submit pro-Destiny video clips to the r/livestreamfail subreddit.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 51 points 1 day ago

open the video

goober pops up

"this video is serious, it's about reddit moderation"

oh baby what is you doing? thats-why-im-confused

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 49 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is this one of the ones that turned the sub into a coordinated right-wing harassment project?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

Yeah, he's a middle-manager of the harassment apparatus.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The sub is moderated by Destiny-fans. They boost clips on the subreddit that support Destiny. The sub is probably also pro-Zionism. I think they probably also promoted the Hasan shock-collar conspiracy theory.

Stale2000 was the top mod of the subreddit but I think there are other still other mods on r/livestreamfail that are Destiny-aligned.

I have commented about it a couple times before.

Someone said he had a comment criticizing Vaush's appearance during the Vaush/Destiny beef.

Vaush may be a piece of shit and a nonce that looks like 2012 bartender that lists himself as a "Mixologist" on Tinder and has a Mumford and Sons tattoo, but that's still better than this dude.

"Destiny aligned" ascribes far more importance that dipshit deserves. Just say fascist. I unironically hate being reminded of that wall splatter.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The concept of "destiny-aligned" is even more pathetic. By Destiny-aligned, I meant that Stale2000 is a prominent member of Destiny's private chat rooms. He talks to Destiny regularly. He moderates the r/livestreamfail subreddit to secretly promote Destiny.

A few years ago, Stale2000 made a video for a contest to be named as Destiny's favorite chatter of the year. The video is deleted now.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Oooh look at me I'm friends with this fascist streamer!" So fucking pathetic. Cool dood I am friends with a bunch of actually revolutionary mfers eat a dick.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

it's a key detail to the story. it's not an accomplishment. It shows that Destiny's community organized secret astroturfing campaigns which frequently appear on the front page of reddit.

They also did harassment campaigns against internet figures who spoke out against Israel and against Zionism.

Is that what a reddit moderator looks like? Frankly I imagine reddit administrators to look like that too, except in a dress shirt and tie.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

I have never been so happy as I am now having no idea who any of these people are or what their drama is about

I love it when pedo fascists eat absolute shit and then immediately embarrass themselves

It was inevitable that reddit would come down on that organized harassment club when they tried to target people other than Hasan

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So that’s why that sub has anti-Hasan shit on the front page every day

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

It's very much a coordinated smear effort. Hasan's takes and positions are flawed, but I think people to his left should offer him a lot of grace because of what he personally has to go through while being a prominent supporter of Palestinian liberation, basic socdem domestic policies, platforming anti-imperial positions, and regularly mentioning PSL on his stream in a positive light.

This does not mean he is above criticism, it means that just like other figures, the criticism must be distinguished from the existing right-wing hate brigades.

went through his older videos and of course he's got a bunch of v*ush/epstiny shit on there.

i know its been said dozens of times already, but how did they get the moderator? are these guys made in a vat or something? i've never seen a prototype for a stereotype walking around before. this character is too on the nose for a sitcom. the big bang theory's lost friend. the concept of awkwardness distilled into human form, and nobody told him about mirrors.

This is what I imagined reddit mods looked like.

[–] jjsandwich8@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm watching Hasan talk about this right now and its just so weird lmao

[–] dead@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Moist Critikal made a video about this and it's very quickly approaching 1 million views. Though Moist doesn't mention that the reddit mod is a Destiny orbitter.

[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Though Moist doesn't mention that the reddit mod is a Destiny orbitter.

Given that he also hop on the shock collar theory, its not hard to imagine why. gamer-gulag

[–] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Fucking centrist scumbag. Didn't he even claim he would stop making content on drama/politics or something at some point? I guess grifting to the chuds was just too profitable

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That subreddit is a cesspit of reactionaries. Every time i've looked in there I've seen very little difference between the takes they have with the takes of asmongold's crowd.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

That man is too smooth. I don't like it.

disgost

[–] RandallThymes@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Like an exaggerated version of a Reddit moderator stereotype that somehow does not go far enough

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

I appreciate the neoliberals consistently shooting themselves in the foot by being too greedy and/or creepy to even keep the grift together in a stable way.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why does he...look like that? I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm seeing, the lighting he is using is messing with my head.

[–] StarkWolf@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The video is definitely being run through an AI to 'clean up' his appearance/complexion. Strange patterns sometimes appear on the shirt when he moves. Makes him look like a wax model or a video game npc.
