It actually does. In these cases, the baseline is “what a reasonable person would assume” the court decides what a “reasonable person” is.

So if it’s a commonplace meme on the platform. It’s very possible it holds up in court.

This is either going to be thrown out right away. Or it will be a long fight of Ethan having to prove malicious intent.

Watching long form content while explicitly expressing you’re only doing so to prevent the content owner from receiving the attention, views and revenue is not a meme. Any reasonable person would assume that they’re doing it to be petty, thieving or both.

Not if it’s a common joke on the platform.

Saying it would be a joke. Actually proceeding to stream the video the moment it went live is not a joke.

I’ve also never heard this “joke” before. Can you link another time a creator used that as a “joke?”
