The Drama, in Plain English

Ahrelevant just called out Hasan Piker for something juicy. According to a new post on r/LivestreamFail, Ahrelevant says Hasan is doing exactly what he accused LonerBox of doing: pushing paid propaganda. Only this time, Hasan’s target is China, not Israel. Hypocrisy, or just how internet debates go? Let’s break it down.

The Players

• Hasan Piker: Huge left-wing Twitch streamer, known for political commentary and heated takes.
• Ahrelevant: A smaller, but growing, political streamer who isn’t afraid to challenge bigger names.
• LonerBox: Another political content creator, accused by Hasan of spreading propaganda on Israel’s behalf just last month.

What Actually Happened?

So here’s the accusation. A video surfaced where Ahrelevant points out that Hasan has been paid to promote a documentary made by the Chinese government. According to Ahrelevant, this is no different than what Hasan claimed LonerBox did—“shilling” for Israel by sharing pro-Israel content for money.

I watched the video (you can find it here), and Ahrelevant pulls no punches. He lines up the facts:

• Hasan criticized others for allegedly taking money to promote one side of a political story.
• Hasan accepted a paid sponsorship for Chinese state media content.
• The scenarios are eerily similar.

Why Does This Matter?

On Twitch and YouTube, authenticity is currency. If fans think a creator’s opinions are for sale, trust fades fast. That’s why these accusations hit so hard—especially when they’re about political stuff. It’s a “you point one finger, three point back at you” situation.

It’s More Than Just Sponsorships

Lots of creators need sponsorships to pay the bills. But viewers draw the line when it looks like genuine opinions are for sale, not just merch or a new video game.

• If you call out paid shilling, people expect you to steer clear of it too.
• Fans want creators to be honest. Even if they disagree, they want to know it’s their opinion—not a paycheck talking.

My Take

The internet is quick to spot hypocrisy, especially among streamers. Maybe Hasan thought this sponsorship was different. Or maybe it’s a sign that it’s really hard to keep your hands clean once you’re a big name, getting offers from high places.

But it shows how fast things change online. One month you’re the one calling out “propaganda,” and the next someone’s turning the same lens on you.

What to Watch Next

This isn’t the first time political creators on Twitch have clashed, and it won’t be the last. Here’s what I’ll be watching for:

• Will Hasan respond directly?
• Will fans actually care, or will this blow over like so many other streamer squabbles?
• Will other creators use this as ammo in their own debates?

Either way, the line between “opinion” and “paid opinion” matters more than ever. And as streaming keeps growing, expect more of these moments.
