He doesn't care about money, he won't ever spend his fortune. No kids and no wife obviously, someone will get to spend it for him. Who knows who
I haven’t listened to Howard Stern in years, but he would actively avoid talking about his money and claim to live in an apartment (maybe technically it is an apartment from what I’ve heard.)

The point is, no one listening wants to hear about it.

Have no opinion on this guy, know nothing about him. From the few posts I've seen about him, seems like an ass and I wonder what the attraction is.
But your take that Musk needs more control of media is fucking ludicrous.

But that's not the case here. His mother was sick, probably could afford the best doctors in the world for her condition and a personal nurse but yet he didn't spend any of his money in this case as well. His mom even caught on fire with her oxygen tank at home, she depended on him since he was young.


He will never spend his money

Yes and Howard Stern lives in an apartment.

He was slowly turning into the people he detests, his recent controversy was hilarious but he's been slowly descending into madness.

He was making content, not that he likes, but content he gets reactions from because he got more views and money. He made fun of games he NEVER touched, he got involved in politics and the majority of his content was reacting to things other people made.

He's entirely too dumb to talk about anything but MMO's and ARPG's

Even if i dont agree wholy on his takes, he is generally measured and eplanative. Reminds me of a skit Christopher Titus did about his "inner retard." "He's an asshole, but amazingly self aware." Zack himself says he often intends the right thing, but says it the wrong way.

I too felt there has been a bit of spiral recently - cause and effect of extreme / negative online exposure? He recently stated hes been dealing with some stuff that had him worried about health - almost sounded like panic attacks. But the causes werent related to streaming. He knows he needs to change things, and he knows his faults and i think hes a genuine dude.

Its like someone with a heart condition who needs to find themself staring at the ceiling lights in ER before they atart eating a fucking salad. To much to offer the world to let silly bullshit get in the way.

I just remember his clickbait videos on youtube so i blocked them. So he's run out of energy or what? I always felt like he was trying too hard to be like penguinz or whatever that guy was called

It's not a great idea to talk about these things on a broad medium.

However, I don't disagree with his points. If you have the destruction of Jews ingrained in your history and you act on it, time and time again, be reminded of where you stand. I'm too old to think some x-state solution is going to work and current actions, not reactions, reinforce that belief. Oct. 7th actions made me not care anymore. Godspeed.

I clicked on a couple of his videos back in the day but quickly realized this isn't for me.
Isn't he online every day? You're basically a slave to your medium.
Nevermind the millions.

2 weeks is a nice little vacation.

Yes, Zack said it himself. He did not visit the Middle East and obviously knows nothing other than the propaganda he reads.

Fuck that guy, this ain't about politics, this is basic human dignity and morality which he has none oNo, its a complete human tragedy vbro
No, its about a complete human tragedy in which both sides are shit on differing levels. You act as this was new thing, which it isnt, so calm down and read up on what and why the fuck this is going on.

I think it's actually the other way around, he was originally a cockroach that wandered onto the Morphing Cube and while crawling around on it obtained the power from the Escafil device, and then morphed into... whatever he currently is and is trapped in that form after staying in morph for 2 hours

lol fucking mao

Isn’t that filthy humanoid keep all day whining about the woke and dei and all that grifter bullshit?
lol yes. his whole schtick is going against woke and Lgbt influence on gaming. So it was ironic coming from him even if he was trying to make a comparison to the death penalty they have over there.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone's teeth condition. Please don't cancel me or let my employer know
Offended? How could you be offended, All good fam.

You're just a bit off the mark. Your beard is weird and your mum dresses you funny.

What happened to him? I think he is generally a large piece of garbage and a dishonest grifter but I'm clueless about any drama.

Very easy - and quite right - to drag Asmongold for being a dumb dickhead.

But let’s never forget who the real villain is here, no matter how much they want everyone to:

Twitch.

Dumb shits like Asmongold and Hasan don’t get to spread their obnoxious hate without the help and support of Amazon, who only care about how much of a bottom line they get from owning and running Twitch.

The exact same thing applies to Elon Musk and TwitteX.

They are all the enemy. The fact they manage to convince so many people otherwise is the grand tragedy.

Some of the remarks here are pretty level headed but there is a lot of senseless hate mob comments just for the sake of hate mobbing. One main aspect of social media that I absolutely detest.
You and me both. I may be indifferent towards him, but I won't hate on someone I don't know personally.

why are they an enemy? I understand that you might not agree with someone but that doesn't mean they deserve to be de platformed or banned from the public soapbox, just don't watch them. The internet will grow and the monopoly that Big Tech has on social networks will fade. Within 20 years time we won't have this problem of censorship because social networks and platforms will grow 1000 fold. There will be space for everyone to say anything without fear of being canceled, banned, or de-platformed. You might not like what they say, and you may not like me but that's free speech. Telegram is a perfect example of this.

i dont think its actual hate
its just tards trying to virtue signal

"this person represents X; i hate them, so im against X everyone"

instead of hating the other person, theyre actually just talking about themselves

yeah just like the monopoly fox news, cnn, msnbc, and penthouse had on the media faded. you can look at me stupid all you want

You are living in some kind of bizarre alternate reality if you think the grip of major corporations on social media is going to fade, or that some glorious day will come where the people rise up and have social media platforms not controlled by giant tech companies.

How do I know this will never happen? Literally the entire history of the internet, that proves the direction of travel is absolutely in the opposite direction.

But sure, you carry on believing that some day you'll have unmanipulated 'free speech' on your social media. Good luck with that. Every social media platform (including Telegram) is geared towards one goal: profit. The profit of those that own it, and those that are at the top of it. And your 'free speech' will always be manipulated to ensure those profits are achieved.

His actions got him attacked from one group of people. His apology will get him attacked from another. He stepped right into 2 piles of shit.

And yet he will return and continue to make obscene amounts of money for doing absolutely nothing, thanks to a generation of muppets who cannot think for themselves. What a time to be alive!

I don't think he does sponsored streams, nor does he have ads or donations on his streams.

He's already made all the money anyway.
